Payroll giving
A third of working Britons would give through their salary if
they knew how, according to a survey by Oxfam/YouGov plc. And
regular, predictable support helps us plan our work with
confidence, so we can continue to be always there for people in
crisis.
The Payroll Giving scheme enables
you to make tax efficient donations directly from your salary on a
monthly basis. The donation comes from the gross pay, before tax is
deducted. For example, to donate £5.00 a month to Samaritans
will only cost you £4.00 as the tax man will add the remaining
£1.00
