Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is a great way to help fund our campaigns, the Helpline, information materials, the website and many other aspects of our work, while benefiting you with generous tax relief. As over 90 percent of our income comes from voluntary contributions we rely on regular donations to help us plan our future activities.

How does it work?

If you are UK resident you can give to Epilepsy Action from your pay and you can get immediate tax relief of up to £4 for every £10 donated. Your donations are made from before-tax pay, this way (at the basic tax rate of 22 percent) it will only cost you £7.80 to donate £10.00, or £6.00 if you are taxed at the higher rate.

Tax Advantage

What do you need to do?

All you need to do is ask your payroll department to deduct regular charitable donations from your salary by filling out a simple application form, stating how much you would like to give and to which charities. Your donations will show on your payslip.

If your employer doesn't already have a Payroll Giving scheme in place, don’t worry – it’s quick and easy to set up. Employers simply sign a contract with a Payroll Giving Agency who will transmit donations on their behalf.
