Payroll giving
Payroll giving is a very easy and cost effective way for you and your employees to give regular support to your favourite charities. It allows you to make regular donations directly from your pay packet before any tax is deducted.
If you pledge £10 from your gross salary, it will only cost £8.00 (at 20% Tax rate) or £6.00 (at 40% tax rate), for instance:
| Amount pledged | 20% tax rate will cost you… | 40% tax rate will cost you… |
| £5.00 | £4.00 | £3.00 |
| £7.50 | £6.00 | £4.50 |
| £10.00 | £8.00 | £6.00 |
The government has also introduced a Payroll Giving quality mark. This rewards companies who make payroll giving available to their staff. Companies are awarded a quality mark to use in their literature. There are bronze, silver and gold awards according to how well they promote the scheme.
