Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving, also known as Give As You Earn, is a convenient and tax efficient way to make a regular donation to charity. The donation is taken from your gross pay or pension, before Income Tax is applied. This means a £10.00 donation would only ‘cost’ a standard rate taxpayer £8.00 and a higher rate taxpayer just £6.00.
Many employers and pension providers are already signed up for Payroll Giving schemes, so it is very easy to set up. The first step is to check with your HR Department to make sure that your company offers Payroll Giving. If they do, simply complete a brief form and your payroll team will arrange your donation.
If your employer does not currently offer Payroll Giving, you can write to them and encourage them to set one up. To set up a Payroll Giving scheme, your organisation will need to register with an approved Payroll Giving agency.
If your circumstances change and you want to change or cancel your donation at any time, simply tell your employer. If you change your job, your donations will not be transferred to your new employer, so you may wish to start a new Payroll Giving scheme with them.
