Payroll giving - We'll all be better off

If you pay tax through PAYE (Pay As You Earn), Payroll Giving offers a simple way to reduce the cost to you of making regular gifts to UK charities. It allows you to make donations to charity directly from your pay or company/personal pension. The donations are made after your National Insurance contributions are calculated but before Income Tax is worked out and deducted. Because of this, you only pay tax on what's left. This means that you get tax relief on your donation immediately - and at your highest rate of tax.

Over 20 million people are paid via PAYE and many charitable-minded employers already offer payroll giving schemes direct to charities. If your employer or company/personal pension provider runs a Payroll Giving Scheme, you simply authorise them to deduct regular charitable donations from your gross pay or pension before deducting any tax.

Payroll giving donations are deducted before tax so each £1 you give will only cost you 80p, and if you are a higher rate tax payer it will only cost you 60p.

Thank you for your support!
