HC Deb 06 June 1989 vol 154 c120W
Sir John Stanley

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will amend the give-as-you-earn scheme to enable the tax relief to accrue to the benefit of the donor's designated charity.

Mr. Lawson

[holding answer 25 May 1989]: No. Charities already benefit from the tax relief given to employees on their donations under the payroll giving scheme. Every £1 a basic rate taxpayer gives costs him only 75p.
