Give as you earn

Give as you earn, or payroll giving is a simple, tax-free way to support Asthma UK. Each time you are paid, a donation amount that you choose is deducted by your payroll department before tax is calculated.

How it works

Donations are deducted before tax so each £1 you give will only cost you 80p.

For example, if you are a basic rate tax payer:

  • You donate £5 to Asthma UK
  • You actually only pay £4.00
  • The taxman will add £1.00 – at no extra cost to you.
    Asthma UK in total will receive £5

If you are a higher rate taxpayer then it will cost you even less to donate £5 to Asthma UK.

Some employers offer 'matched giving' schemes where they match or double your gift at no extra cost to you. This means even more money goes to vital asthma research and services for people with asthma.

How do I donate?

  • Check with your payroll or human resources department to see if they offer this scheme and decide how much you want to give each pay day.
  • If your  employer does not have the scheme  Contact Asthma UK for further information
