Giving from your salary

Many people choose to give to us via a payroll giving scheme, which allows you to donate to charity directly through your salary payments, before tax is deducted. As well as being an easy and simple way for you to support your favourite charities, it also makes your gift worth more.

For example, a monthly donation of £8 will only cost you £6.40 - the taxman pays the rest. To give to us in this way, your employer will need to operate a Payroll Giving Scheme. If you’re not sure that they do, fill in the form anyway and we will let you know if they don’t and perhaps we can suggest to them that they introduce one.

A regular gift like this helps us to plan our services into the future, to ensure that we will always be there for people whose lives have been affected by HIV.

Payroll giving is also the only way for anyone paying 40% or 50% tax to give us all their tax on a donation automatically, so if you earn over £44,000 per year then this is the best way for you to support us tax effectively. Some examples are below:

 

You donate to us on a monthly basis	We receive (20% tax payer)	We receive (40% tax payer*)	We receive (50% tax payer*)
£5	£6.25	£8.33	£10
£10	£12.50	£16.67	£20
£15	£18.25	£24.99	£30
£20	£25	£33.32	£40

        
* Please note that we have calculated that 40% higher rate tax band starts after earning £42,476 GROSS per year (including personal allowance of £7,475) and 50% super tax is applicable to those earning over £150,000 GROSS per year (this includes any and all personal allowances that might or might not be applicable).
