Payroll Giving

About two–thirds of people in the UK give to charitable good causes, but not many do this in a tax–efficient way. Through Payroll Giving you can choose to donate to three of your favourite charities and it's the easiest way to make sure the tax you would have paid goes to the charity. Payroll Giving also provides charities with a regular, reliable income and makes your money go further.

Key points to consider

• Click on the button at the top of the page to login and select Payroll Giving at any time.
• At the end of the selection window you will receive an email confirming your selection.
• With Payroll Giving, you donate money to charity in a tax–efficient way directly from your salary – for example, a £10 donation will only cost you £8 if you're a basic rate tax payer, or £6 if you're a higher rate tax payer.
• Is the way you currently donate to charity as tax efficient as Payroll Giving?
• Or would you rather have a My Giving Account so you can make ad hoc donations to a number of charities as and when you like?

How it works

• You can select or change the amount you donate or the charity at any time.
• You can give a regular amount each month to up to three different charities.
• If you want to support more charities, or if you want to be more flexible and give different amounts at different times or to different charities you can open a My Giving Account. Your monthly donation goes into your very own charity account and you'll get a charity cheque book. You pay into the account from salary, and then give what you want, to a charity you want, when you want – you can manage this account online too. Find out more about My Giving Account (PDF, 529KB)
• The minimum donation to a specific charity is £1 a month or £10 a month for a My Giving Account.
• Which ever approach you take, you have the choice as to whether your details are passed on to the charity, or whether your donation remains anonymous.
