Payroll Giving

What is Payroll Giving?

Payroll Giving, also known as Give As You Earn (GAYE), is an easy, convenient and tax-effective way to make a regular donation, so it costs you less to give more.

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

How much can I give?

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.

How do I set this up?

You will need to check with your employer to make sure that your company offers Payroll Giving. If they do, they can arrange your donation through your salary.

If your employer does not offer Payroll Giving, you can 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.

If your circumstances change and you wish to change or cancel your donation, simply let your employer know.

If you change job, your donations will not be transferred to your new employer, so you will need to start a new Payroll Giving scheme with them.
