Give As You Earn
Give As You Earn (GAYE) is the UK’s largest payroll giving
scheme. You can give directly from your gross
salary or wages (ie. before paying tax on your salary/wages),
so that the money which would normally go to the taxman goes
to the charity instead. You just decide how much you want to
give each month -
it could be a couple of pounds, tens, hundreds or thousands -
it's up to you! Then your donation will simply come out of your
pay packet before the taxman touches it.
For example, if you normally pay a tax of 20% on your earnings,
then you will pay a tax of 20p for every £1 that you
earn. By giving BEFORE your salary'wages are taxed it simply
means that the 20p tax will be given to the Pain Relief Foundation
instead of the taxman! So we will recieve
the full £1 but it would actually only cost you 80p!

Gift Aid
Gift aid is tax relief on money donated to UK charities. All
donations are now treated as 'Gift Aid' which means it is
eligible for tax relief. There is no longer any minimum donation
amount required before tax relief is applied.
Income tax relief is allowed to the Foundation at the basic tax
rate (currently 20%). This has the effect of increasing
the value of your donation to the Foundation at no extra cost
to you.

Basic Rate Tax payer
(20%) |
|
| |
A basic rate tax payer makes a donation of: |
£20.00 |
| |
The Pain Relief Foundation will receive 20%
of donation: |
£ 5.64 |
| |
The total value of the donation to the Pain
Relief Foundation is therefore: |
£25.64 |
However, if you are a higher rate tax payer (40%) then there are
benefits to you also, which have the effect of reducing the actual
net amount you donate, without the Pain Relief Foundation losing.
This is because higher rate tax payers will be allowed to reclaim
the difference between the 20% rate recovered by the Charity
and the rate of tax paid. Here is an example:
| |
Higher Rate Tax Payer
(40%) |
|
| |
A higher rate tax payer makes a donation of: |
£20.00 |
| |
The donor claims additional tax relief from the Inland
Revenue on the gross value of the donation. Thus,
the recovered tax amount will be: |
£ 5.00 |
| |
Therefore the net outlay by the donor is only: |
£15.00 |
| |
The total value of the donation to the Pain
Relief Foundation is therefore: |
£25.64 |
As a higher rate tax payer the donation of £20 will actually
cost you just £15.00 but the Pain Relief Foundation will
receive £25.64.
These changes to donating and tax relief are vitally important
to the Pain Relief Foundation. Even the smallest donations attract
tax relief, so it is important that you complete a Declaration
Form when sending your donations.
