What is Payroll Giving?
Payroll Giving is an easy and effective way to support us to end homelessness by donating directly from your salary. As an added bonus, Payroll Giving is tax free. Payroll Giving is a stress-free, tax-free way of giving to a charity.
Why Take Part in Payroll Giving?
Payroll Giving is a valuable, long-term source of income for charities. Regular donations help us here at SSJ to budget and plan ahead, helping us make a lasting impact on ending homelessness in your community.
Benefits to you and your business:
- Easy tax-free donations: Payroll Giving is the easiest way to make a regular, tax-free donation to any cause you'd like to support. There is no income tax liability on your donation, and as a result, you will pay less tax.
Donate more for less: Donations are taken each month from your salary before tax, meaning more money goes to charity. A £5 monthly donation will cost you no more than £4.
- Simple set-up: You can start or stop your donations at any time, simply contact a Payroll Giving agency.
Help us end homelessness and support our vital work with a tax-free donation through your pay.
How to Sign Up to Payroll Giving?
Step 1: Contact a Payroll Giving agency to set up a scheme. Make sure to ask any questions you or your employees have.
Step 2: Make deductions each time you run payroll. The donation will be taken from your employees’ pay before tax but after National Insurance.
Step 3: Send the donations to your agency - they’ll pass them on to the chosen charities.
Agencies may charge an administration fee. They usually deduct this from employees’ donations before they pass them to the charity. You can choose to pay the fee, meaning the charities will get more money.
