Payroll Giving

Planned giving under the Government's Payroll Giving scheme is a great help to the Cathedral as it gives us a regular income. It also helps you, because you get immediate tax relief at your highest rate.

If you are a UK taxpayer, Payroll Giving offers a simple way to increase the value of your gift to charity by allowing you to authorise your employer to make the donation from your wages before deducting any tax.

Payroll Giving donations are made after deduction of National Insurance Contributions but before deduction of tax. Because you give the money before your tax is worked out, you only pay tax on what’s left. This means that you get your tax relief immediately at your highest rate of tax.

You can use Payroll Giving provided both of the following apply:

  1. You are an employee or pensioner and your employer deducts tax from your pay or pension
  2. Your employer operates a Payroll Giving scheme

If your employer does not operate a scheme, you could ask if they would be willing to start one.

For more information on Payroll Giving please contact the Cathedral Office.
