Why offer Payroll Giving?

As an employer you can enable your employees to donate to their chosen causes direct from their salaries or pension through the Payroll Giving scheme.

Donations are taken from salaries after National Insurance is deducted but before tax, making it the most tax-efficient way for UK employees, paid by PAYE, to donate to any charity, good cause or place of worship.

Advantages of the scheme:

  • Simple to run with Payroll Giving in Action's free services
  • Over £2 billion donated through Payroll Giving since it's inception in 1987
  • Increases employee engagement and demonstrates a commitment to supporting the community
  • Employees can support any charity, good cause or place of worship
  • Charities receive tax-relief at the highest level paid by the employee
  • Quality Marks awarded depending upon participation levels achieved - Bronze 1%, Silver 5%, Gold 10%, Platinum 20%, Diamond 30%.


Payroll Giving in Action can get the scheme up and running for you within days and our free services make light of the admin required from your payroll team. Why not join the thousands of employers that already offer the Payroll Giving scheme to their employees?
