What is ‘Payroll
Giving’?
‘Payroll Giving’ is an easy and flexible way to support
Giving for Living. When you donate money to a cause in the normal
way you are giving money from your taxed income. When you choose
‘Payroll Giving’ your donation is taken from your gross
pay before tax is deducted.
So, a donation of £10 per month would actually cost
you £8, and the government pays the rest!
For example:
You give
gross per month |
Cost to you as
a 20% tax payer |
Cost to you as
a 40% tax payer |
| £50 |
£40.00 |
£30.00 |
| £20 |
£16.00 |
£12.00 |
| £15 |
£12.00 |
£9.00 |
| £10 |
£8.00 |
£6.00 |
| £5 |
£4.00 |
£3.00 |

How do I get started?
Ask your employer’s payroll department if they already offer
a scheme. Then you can sign up through the existing system. If they
do not offer a scheme, why not suggest that they start one –
it is easy and inexpensive to run. The HM Revenue & Customs
website explains how companies can set up a ‘Payroll Giving’
scheme; visit www.hmrc.gov.uk
for further information.
To get started, follow our
3-step plan:

Giving for Living, 3 Dufferin Street,
London, EC1Y 8NA.
- We will liaise with your payroll department to set everything
up.
How much should I give?
There are no limits on how little or how much you can give –
it’s really up to you! |
