Donate through your salary
Otherwise known as payroll giving, this is the easiest and simplest method for regular giving and for making one-off donations when receiving a company bonus. Decide how much you wish to give and then notify your employer of the name of the charity which you wish to benefit (i.e. SHINE: Support and Help in Education), our registered charity number (i.e. 1082777) and the size of your monthly donation.
This donation is then deducted from your gross monthly salary and for tax purposes you will be deemed to have received a smaller income.
For example, if you decide to donate £100 per month, a basic rate taxpayer (paying 20% tax) will pay £20 less tax per month, bringing down the cost of the donation to £80.
A higher rate taxpayer will benefit at the highest rate of tax that they pay – either 40% or 50%. As a result, on a £100 monthly donation they will save £40 or £50, depending on their tax bracket. This brings down the actual cost of the donation to £60 and £50 respectively.
