Payroll giving

A regular gift is a great way to us because knowing your donation will come every month helps us to plan more effectively for the future care of our animals.

Giving directly through your pay means your donation is absolutely tax-free as it is deducted directly from your salary before tax. This means you could increase the value of your donation by an incredible 41%.

Because all “Give As You Earn” donations are tax-free it actually costs you less to give. The table below shows exactly how much

Your donation to charity (gross) Cost to you @ 22% tax (net) Cost to you @ 40% tax (net) Value of your donation

£5.00 £3.90 £3.00 £5.00

£10.00 £7.80 £6.00 £10.00

£50.00 £39.00 £30.00 £50.00

You can donate through your payroll as long as your pay or pension is taxed through PAYE and your employer offers the scheme. Ask your employer's personnel department if they are registered for payroll giving. If they are, they should have a form for you to complete.
