Give As You Earn
What are the benefits?
• donations are taken from your salary so the Animal Care Trust also benefits from receiving the tax.
• you can make your donations anonymously if you choose
• you have the opportunity to build a relationship with the charities you support
• you can stop, start and change donations when you wish, and there are a variety of options to cater for regular or more ad hoc giving
Example: If you pledge £10 from your gross salary, it only costs you £7.80 (at the 22% rate of tax) or just £6.00 (at the 40% rate of tax), but the charity gets the full £10.
There is no maximum limit to Payroll Giving.
