Payroll giving

Payroll giving is a tax-effective way for employees to donate to the charity of their choice. Your donations will be deducted from your salary before tax which ensures the charity gets the full amount you have chosen to donate at no extra cost to you. Choosing to donate through your payroll provides the charity with a regular, reliable income stream that enables us to plan and budget for the future.

Please see the table below for examples of how your pledge is calculated:

Employee pledge	Actual cost to a standard rate tax payer -20%	Actual cost to a higher rate tax payer -40%
£5	£4	£3
£10	£8	£6
£15	£12	£9

You will need to check that your employer offers Payroll Giving and if they do, it couldn't be simpler. You need to complete a form that you can get from your Payroll Department or Personnel and fill in details about the charity/ies you would like to support. Your employer will then forward the form on to a Payroll Giving Agency (PGA) to deduct your pre-tax chosen amount from your salary. Your donation is then forwarded monthly to the PGA and they then distribute the gift each month to the charity/ies of your choice.

If your company doesn't already have a Payroll Giving scheme in place, please direct them to the Payroll Giving Centre's website for more information: www.payrollgivingcentre.org.uk and you can also download our Payroll giving form to take to your employer.
