Payroll Giving is an easy and tax-efficient way for employees to donate to their favorite charities. It is simple for employers to set up and run, and is an excellent way to show support for employees’ charitable giving

How does Payroll Giving work?

Payroll Giving enables an employee to decide how much and to which charities they want to give. Donations are deducted straight from an employee’s salary each month before the deduction of income tax. Such immediate tax relief means that anyone paying the standard rate income tax at 22% can give a £5 donation at a cost of just £3.90. The £1.10 that would have gone to the Inland Revenue comes straight to us instead

How do I start donating from my salary?

As long as your company has a Payroll Giving scheme set up, making a monthly donation is simple. All you need to do is decide how much you would like to donate and then contact your payroll department. They will be able to supply you with a simple form to fill in and the donations will then be deducted from your salary each month.

What can I do if my company does not have a Payroll Giving scheme in place?

This should not be a problem. Talk to your payroll department and ask them if they can arrange a scheme that will allow you to donate through your salary.
