Payroll giving can be one of the most tax efficient ways in which you can support LMN and the groups we work with, as you will benefit from the maximum tax break available.
If you want to support us through your payroll, you will need to talk to your employer to check out the arrangements they have set up.
You then agree with your employer that a specified amount will be deducted from your pay each month (or whenever) before tax is calculated and then donated to the specified charity. The deduction is made after the calculation of National Insurance Contributions (NIC) but before the deduction of Pay as You Earn tax (PAYE). In effect, you will get the entire tax relief on the donation straight away at your top rate of tax.
To encourage companies to set up Payroll Giving schemes for their staff, the Government set up the Quality Mark scheme to recognise and reward employers. The Payroll Giving Quality Mark programme was launched in January 2006. The programme recognises and rewards organisations for making Payroll Giving available to their staff.
