Payroll Giving / Give as You Earn

Payroll giving is a a tax efficient way of giving to a registered charity of your choice. 

You can make donations to any charitable or voluntary organisation, ranging from national charities to local community groups. 

EDGE has a registered payroll giving scheme with Charities Trust – https://charitiestrust.org/services/individuals/payrollgiving-individuals

Give as You Earn is completely tax free, allowing you to give to any charity from your pay before tax is deducted.

How Does it Work?

Your donation is taken from your pre-tax salary, meaning that part of your donation comes from money that would have otherwise gone to HMRC. 

Making a £20 donation to charity as a 20% taxpayer: 

Total donated to charity = £20
You pay = £16
Reduction in tax = £4 

Making a donation as a 40% taxpayer: 

Total donated to charity = £20
You pay = £12
Reduction in tax = £8
