Payroll Giving is a UK-wide scheme that enables people who work to pledge a portion of their weekly or monthly pay direct to their favourite charity.
As a business owner starting a Payroll Giving scheme is straight forward. There is very little investment required in either cost or administration, and moth payroll systems can be adapted to operate the scheme.
Donations are passed to an approved Payroll Giving agency who distributes donations to employee's chosen charities.
People who donate via Payroll Giving find the scheme beneficial because:
It allows them to support their favourite charity.
Its easy and hassle-free.
It provides a regular income to their chosen charity.
Your money goes much further when you donate through Payroll Giving.
Because the donation is made before the tax is deducted, a £10 gift will cost a standard rate taxpayer only £8 or a higher taxpayer just £6.
If your employer doesn't have a scheme we can provide information on how to set one up. Alternatively they can visit www.hmrc.gov.uk/payrollgiving
