A tax-free way for your staff to make a regular donation through your pay process. It's simple to set up and run and is an excellent way to support your employees' charitable giving.

Benefits of Payroll Giving for your employees and business

  • It's easy and convenient, with little cost to the business. 
  • It's tax-effective; the donation is deducted before tax so giving £5 per month only costs staff £4 or £10 costs staff £8.
  • There is no limit on the size of the gift. Donations amounts can be changed or stopped at any time. 
  • Offers opportunity to gain recognition from your industry peers by attending a Quality Mark Award, given to organisations which implement Payroll Giving.

    • If you set up a regular payroll gift you can cancel your donation or change the amount by contacting your HR department.

    • Payroll Giving donations are taken directly from your gross pay (pre-tax). Gift Aid is a scheme that allows charities to claim back the basic rate tax on donations from HM Revenue & Customs.

      If you are a higher rate taxpayer, Payroll Giving is the only way that a charity can automatically receive all your tax on your charitable donation.

    • When you leave a company, the payroll gift is automatically cancelled. Please complete this online Payroll Giving form with your new company information and let us know this is a replacement of any previous donations by selecting the relevant box.

    • There's no lower or upper limit.

    • Your first gift to Help for Heroes will be taken on the next payroll day. However, if you are signing up towards the end of the month, donations are likely to start the following payroll day.
