Give as You Earn

'Give As You Earn' is the UK’s number one payroll giving scheme. It’s one of the easiest ways for employees and pensioners who are paid through PAYE to give regularly to charity – plus it’s both flexible and tax efficient.

Your employees choose how much they want to give each month. The donation then comes off their gross pay, before the taxman touches it.

Charities benefit from 'Give As You Earn' because receiving regular donations means that they can make financial plans for their long-term future. Employees can give as much or as little as they like, and because the donation is taken from their pay before tax, it actually costs them less.

If you cover the administitative costs of running Give As You Earn, or match your employees’ donations, these costs can be offset against corporation tax – reducing your company’s tax bill.  Keeping this budget in a CAF (Charity's Aid Foundation) Company Account, free of charge, will help you to separate it from business revenue – simplifying your accounting procedures.
