Give as You Earn is the UK’s largest payroll giving scheme. It is a fantastic way of giving to LandAid, it give us a guaranteed income that means we can plan for the future to help more homeless and vulnerable people change their lives. If you earn a salary, or if your pension is paid via PAYE then you can make a regular commitment.
How does it work?
With Give As You Earn you can give directly from your pre-tax salary, so money that would normally go to the taxman goes to LandAid instead.
All you have to do is decide how much you would like to give each month.
What are the benefits?
You benefit because you don’t pay any tax on the donations you make. If you’re a basic rate taxpayer, a gift of £6.41 only actually costs you £5 – so you can pass the tax relief on to us.
More information can be found on the Charities Aid Foundation website.
