Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is the most effective way to give and get the taxman to give too! You can make a donation by authorising your employer or pension provider to deduct a set amount from your salary or pension income. For further advice or assistance for employers and employees please contact the Charities Trust

Gift Aid
By completing a Gift Aid Tax Declaration you can increase the value of your donation by nearly one third at no additional cost to you.
You can add a quarter to the value of your gift under the Gift Aid Scheme by completing the Gift Aid Tax Declaration on your donation form. Under this scheme, when an individual makes a donation and is a UK tax payer, the organisation receiving the gift can claim the income tax which the donor has paid on the value of the gift from the Inland Revenue. This means that for every £1 you give, the University can reclaim 25 pence from the Inland Revenue (at current rates of income tax, together with Gift Aid relief).
For example:
Gift amount - £100
Total amount received by the university if Gift Aid applies - £125.00

Higher rate tax payers
If you pay higher rate tax, you can claim the difference between the higher rate of tax 40 and/or 50 per cent and the basic rate of tax 20 per cent on the total 'gross' value of your donation to Middlesex University.
For example, if you donate £100, the total value of your donation to the charity is £125 - so you can claim back:
£25 - if you pay tax at 40 per cent (£125 × 20%)
£37.50 - if you pay tax at 50 per cent (£125 × 20%) plus (£125 × 10%)
You can make this claim from the Inland Revenue in the form of additional relief by showing the donation on your tax return.
In addition, under current legislation, any bequest to Middlesex University will be free from Inheritance Tax.
