Payroll Giving

A Payroll Giving scheme is an easy, tax-efficient way of making regular donations through your salary.

With Payroll Giving you can donate to the RAF Museum straight from your gross salary (before tax is deducted) giving immediate tax relief on your donations – meaning it costs you less to give more.

Anyone who pays UK tax through PAYE can donate through Payroll Giving.

How much can I donate?

If you choose to donate through Payroll Giving, you have full control over how much you would like to give. There is no minimum, or maximum amount and you can change things at any time.

If you pay the basic 20% tax rate, for every £1 that you earn, 20p is paid in tax.

That means if you pledge £25 a month, we’ll receive the full amount but only £20 will be deducted from your net pay.

A visual representation of the cost of a £10 monthly donation after tax relief based on different UK income tax bands. It consists of three bar-like shapes labelled with tax rates: 20%, 40%, and 45%. Each bar has a corresponding cost for the donor: 20% tax band £8, 40% tax band £6 and 45% tax band: £5.50. The title reads, "Cost to you for a £10 monthly donation." The graphic is color-coded and designed to show that higher tax rates result in greater tax relief for donors.If you pay income tax at the higher rate of 40%, you can pledge £25 a month and only £15 will be deducted from your net pay, and at the highest rate of 45%, only £13.75 would be deducted.

Plus, it is more efficient for higher rate taxpayers to donate through Payroll Giving than Gift Aid as charities are unable to claim back tax above the basic rate through the Gift Aid scheme.

Donating to the RAF Museum with Payroll Giving

To get going, first check with your employer to see if your company offers Payroll Giving. If they do, they will arrange everything for you.

If your employer does not currently have a Payroll Giving scheme in place, encourage them to set one up. It’s really easy to do, just start by registering with an approved Payroll Giving agency such as Charities Trust or another HMRC approved provider.
