What is payroll giving?

Children holding hands outIt’s one of the easiest ways for employees to give regularly to any UK charity – plus it’s both flexible and tax efficient.

Your employees choose how much they want to give each month, and the charities they want to give to. The donation then comes off their gross pay, before the taxman touches it.

Charities benefit from payroll giving because receiving regular donations means that they can make financial plans for their long-term future – knowing they can rely on the regular gifts of their payroll donors.

Employees can give as much or as little as they like, and because the donation is taken from their pay before tax, it actually costs them less.
