2. Payroll Giving
What is Payroll Giving?
Payroll Giving enables employees to give to any UK charity straight from their gross salary (before tax is deducted), giving immediate tax relief of up to 40% on their donations.
How does it work?
Until April 2008 Payroll Giving is calculated for basic rate taxpayers at 22%

What if my company hasn't signed up to Payroll Giving?
It is easy, your employer will need to sign up to a Payroll Giving Agency (PGA) who do all the hard work for you, distributing donations to the employee's chosen charities.
How do I find out about Payroll Giving Agencies?
There are around nine HMRC-registered Payroll Giving Agencies (PGAs) and these are all listed on our useful links section.

3. Share Giving
Donating shares, no matter how large or small, is a very tax efficient way to give to the Chilterns MS Centre.
Basic rate taxpayers could save up to 22% income tax – costing them only £7,800 on a £10,000 donation (up until April 2008)
After April 2008 the relief will be reduced to 20% in-line with the basic rate tax changes (costing the donor £8,000 to donate £10,000 of shares)
Higher rate taxpayers could save up to 40% income tax, costing them only £6,000
Capital gains tax does not apply to charitable gifts of shares.
If you would like to discuss the donating of shares click here to send us an email, adding ‘Share Giving’ in the subject line.

5. Leave a Gift in your Will
