Payroll giving

Donate through your salary: Why not suggest your company sets up a payroll giving scheme? That way you and your fellow employees can donate through your salaries in the most tax efficient manner.

What is donating through your salary?
It is often called payroll giving, and is a tax efficient way of giving directly from your pay. The money comes out of your salary before it is taxed.

So why give from your salary?
Making a monthly donation through your payroll is one of the most cost-effective ways of helping us help other women with endometriosis. Giving to us before you are taxed means the gift is worth more because the money you would have given to the Inland Revenue comes to us instead.

How is it worked out?
Did you know that if you donate £10 a month to Endometriosis UK from your pay, your gift will only cost you £7.80? The Inland Revenue gives us the extra £2.20! (At the basic rate of taxation).

What if my company doesn't yet have a scheme that allows me to donate through my salary?
Don't worry; they are simple to set up. We suggest you talk to your payroll department to arrange a scheme that allows you to donate through your salary. They do this by signing a contract with a Government-approved agency, such as the Charities Aid Foundation. Once they have done this, you will need to inform your payroll department of how much you want to donate. It will then come out of your pay packet before you are taxed.
