Payroll giving

Payroll Giving is important to the Myositis Support Group as it provides a regular and reliable income allowing us to plan ahead.

Payroll Giving is an easy, tax-effective way to give, so it costs you less to give more.

Payroll Giving schemes are run by the employer and are very simple to do. If your employer does not already have a Payroll Giving scheme in place, don’t worry – it’s quick and easy to set up. Employers simply sign a contract with a Payroll Giving Agency who will transmit donations on their behalf. Whether you are an employee or employer please visit the Payroll Giving Centre for further information. The Payroll Giving Centre is a comprehensive online information centre about Payroll Giving aimed at businesses, charities and the general public. This site hosts free guidance materials, promotional literature and useful links to help you make the most of Payroll Giving.

To join a Payroll Giving scheme (providing one is in place by your employer) contact your Personnel or Payroll department for a Payroll Giving Application form. On the form you decide how much you wish to give as a regular charitable donation and this will be deducted from your gross pay before tax. An example of this simple application form is available from the Payroll Giving Centre. Your employer will forward your completed form to a Payroll Giving Agency and your donation will be forwarded monthly to the Agency and they then distribute the gift each month to the charity or charities of your choice.

All Payroll Giving Agencies are registered charities and they make no profit from administering Payroll Giving donations although a small administration cost may be incurred.

Payroll Giving Agencies do not automatically inform us when you become a Payroll Giver so you might wish to let us know.

Give to the Myositis Support Group from your pay and you can get immediate tax relief of up to £4 for every £10 donated. For example a donation worth £10 to the Myositis Support Group will require a basic rate taxpayer (22%) to donate just £7.80 and a higher rate taxpayer (40%) will only need to donate £6. You will not pay any tax on the donation you make.

If you donate £5 a month to the Myositis Support Group through Payroll Giving this will actually equate to £6.41 and over a year this will be £76.92 -over £16 more than if you had just made a donation of £60!

“Payroll Giving offers businesses and employees alike the chance to play their part in generating a regular, reliable income stream for charities. Quick and easy to set up and run, Payroll Giving is good for business and a real benefit to offer employees.” - Lindsay Boswell, Chief Executive of the Institute of Fundraising
