Payroll Giving

A payroll giving scheme is an easy, tax-efficient way of donation through your salary. If you pay UK tax through PAYE, you can donate through Payroll Giving. 

Payroll \giving, also known as Give as you Earn, is an easy, convenient and tax-efficient way to make a regular donation so it costs you less to give more. 

With Payroll Giving you can donate to Mental Health Resource straight from your gross salary (before tax is deducted) giving immediate tax relief on your donations.

How much can I donate?

If you choose to donate through Payroll Giving, you have full control over how much you would like to give. There is no minimum or maximum amount.

If you pay the basic 20% tax rate, for every £1 that you earn, 20p is paid in tax. That means if you pledge £10 a month, we'll receive the full amount but only £8 will be deducted from your net pay.

If you pay income tax at the higher rate of 40%, you can pledge £10 a month and only £6 will be deducted from your net pay and at the highest rate of 45%, only £5.50 would be deducted. Plus, it is more efficient for higher rate taxpayers to donate through Payroll Giving than Gift Aid.

The income tax applicable to the donation is paid to Mental Health Resource instead of HMRC.

Donating to Mental Health Resource with Payroll Giving.

1. Check with your employer to make sure your company offers Payroll Giving. If they do, they will arrange your donation through your salary for you.
2. If your employer does not currently offer Payroll Giving, you can write to them and encourage them to set one up. To set up a Payroll Giving scheme, your organisation will need to register with an approved Payroll Giving agency.
3. If your circumstances change and you want to change or cancel your donation at any time, simply tell your employer. If you change your job, your donations will not be transferred to your new employer so you will need to start a new Payroll Giving scheme with them.
