Tax efficient giving
Donating via Payroll Giving
Payroll giving allows donors to give to charities straight from their gross salaries each payday. It’s a great way to give, because your donation is given before tax. For example, if you donate £10 – it will cost you £8 – the taxman will pay the rest!
Regular giving is really important to The Who Cares? Trust as it helps us plan our projects and make a sustained difference to the lives of children in care.
How it works
| Your donation to charity | Actual cost lower rate taxpayer 20% | Actual cost higher rate taxpayer 40% |
| £5 | £4 | £3 |
| £10 | £8 | £6 |
| £20 | £16 | £12 |
In order to offer Payroll Giving, your employer must be registered with a Payroll Giving Agency and must be able to make pre-tax deductions from your pay. Information on how your employer can set this up can be found on the Payroll Giving Centre website.
If your employer is not able to offer Payroll Giving, you could also set up a Standing Order to The Who Cares? Trust.
Donating through your self assessment tax return
You can choose to have all or part of your tax refund repayment sent directly to a charity of your choice - this is called ‘Self Assessment Giving’ or ‘SA Donate’.
Donating though your tax return creates a real opportunity for charities to benefit from a new source of tax efficient donations, so please use the opportunity and help us promote it by sharing this information with your family, friends and work colleagues.
To donate your tax repayment to The Who Cares? Trust use our inland revenue charity code LAU89LG when filling in form SA100.
You’ll find the form in your tax return pack, or you can download it from the link below. You can also fill in the information online if you use HMRC’s Self Assessment Online service.
