PAYROLL GIVING - A GUIDE FOR EMPLOYEES

How would you feel if you found a way of giving more to your favourite charities every time you give?

Payroll Giving – giving more can really cost you less

A donation made through your payroll is taken at source (before tax) so it costs you less to give. For example, if you donate £10 a month to the Hospice, it will only cost you £7.80. If you want to give £5 it will actually cost £3.90 (about the cost of a glass of wine a month) – fantastic! You are already giving much more for less!

For the first six months the government will match your donation up to the value of £10. That means that whatever you donate up to £10 the taxman will give the same amount. So your chosen charity gets twice as much.

For example:
Your monthly gift	£10	£8	£5
Amount deducted (from your salary)	£7.80	£6.24	£3.90
The tax man gives (for the first six months)	£10	£8	£5
Charity actually receives	£20	£16	£10

Can I give to more than one charity?
Yes - you can specify how much you want to give and to which charity.

Just think!
If every charity donation was given through the payroll, it has been estimated that charities could claim an estimated £900 from the Inland Revenue every year!

Other people’s payroll giving experiences
“It’s a wonderful way to help your local Hospice and I haven’t missed the money at all”

What do I do now?
Download and print, then complete the form (PDF). Then simply tell your employer that you want to give money through the payroll giving scheme. You can give as much or as little as you like. The money will be deducted at source so it will just appear on your payslip as a pre-tax payment. If you want to stop giving again simply tell your employer to stop the payments.

Why does the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice need your help?
The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice is your local hospice, providing care for patients and their families facing a life limiting illness, such as cancer or motor neurone disease.

The Hospice costs £3.5 million a year or £10,000 a day to run. The NHS funds less than 16% of this cost – the remaining £3 million needs to be raised every year through the support of local businesses, organisations and individuals like you.

The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice’s future is in your hands – thank you for your support.
