Give as You Earn - LandAid - Supporting a variety of homelessness projects in the UK

Give as You Earn

- 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.

- What are the benefits for my company?
By offering GAYE to your employees you are proving what a responsible employer you are. It’s good for your reputation and makes your employees feel good about working for you!
You could even contribute to their donations by:

Paying the administration fee, and/or
Matching what your employees give pound for pound, (this can be capped with an annual limit).

- How do I give?
Contact your payroll office to fill in a form. If your company isn’t already part of the GAYE scheme, see below.

- How does my company join?

You can call the GAYE help line on 01732 520 019 to see if you are already registered. If you’re not it's very easy to set up and registration is free.

Request the forms from the GAYE helpline.
Ask your payroll department to complete them and return them to CAF.
CAF will register your company with HM Revenue and Customs.
CAF will send you information on how to run the scheme and promote it to the rest of your employees.
