Step 1. Choose your donation
Decide how much you wish to pledge each payday. A £10.00 pledge would only ‘cost’ a standard rate tax payer £8.00 and a higher rate tax payer just £6.00. Try the donation calculator here to see how much your own pledge would cost based on your own tax rate.
The minimum deduction from your pay/pension is £1 per week or £5 per month. You may donate to as many UK registered charities or charitable organisations as you wish.
Step 2. You’re done!
Once you have confirmed your amount with your HR or Payroll department, there is nothing else you need to do … that’s one of the great things about Payroll Giving, it’s easy!
Your first deduction will usually be taken the month after you have submitted your instruction and will be shown on your payslip as a deduction from gross pay, commonly described as ‘Payroll Giving’. If at any time you wish to amend or cancel your donation, you can contact your HR or Payroll Department who will make these changes for you.
Payroll Giving
The Payroll Giving scheme enables you to donate regularly from your gross pay/pension to charities of your choice. The donations are taken from your pay/pension before income tax is applied, making it a tax-effective way to give.
You can contact your employer’s Payroll or HR to investigate whether they have a Payroll Giving scheme in place, if they do then you can choose to donate to us.
Some Payroll giving companies charge a small administration charge, no more than 25p or 4% per donor per month. Your employer may be supporting your giving by paying the fee – if not it will be removed from your donation before it is passed on to your chosen charity.
Contact your employer today, and give to us in the easiest and most tax-effective way! If you have any questions about Payroll Giving, please do contact us via our contact form and we will be happy to support you.
