Payroll Giving is a tax effective way of regularly donating to charity. This blog post will provide you with all the essential information you need to know about setting up Payroll Giving with CFINE.
What is Payroll Giving?
Payroll Giving, also known as Give As You Earn is a tax effective way of giving regular charity donations. This means that you can give more to charity for less.

How does it work?
Payroll Giving allows you to donate to CFINE straight from your gross salary and is eligible to anyone who pays UK tax through PAYE. This gives immediate tax relief by taking donations before tax is deducted from your salary.
How much of your donation you pay depends on what tax you pay. For example, if you pay the basic 20% tax rate, for every £1 you earn, 20p will be paid in tax. This means that you can donate £10 a month through Payroll Giving and only £8 will get deducted from your net pay. This means CFINE will still receive your full donation of £10 a month but you only pay £8- giving more for less!
Below is an example of employee pledges and costs through Payroll Giving.
