Payroll Giving

How does payroll giving work?
Your donation comes out of your salary before tax. For example, a gift of £10 will only cost a standard rate tax payer £8.

How can I start payroll giving?
Setting up Payroll giving is simple:

1) Find out if your employer is registered with a Payroll Giving Agency. These agencies deal with distributing charitable donations. If they are not put them in touch with an approved agency and ask them to register.
2) Download a mandate form. Complete this and give it to your employer.
3) Then all your employer needs to do is take your donation out of your salary as a pre-tax deduction and send it to the Payroll Giving Agency with your mandate once a month. This is not complicated; most payroll systems are set up to do this.
