What is Payroll Giving?
It is a simple, tax-free way of giving to charity directly from your salary.
How does it work?
Payroll Giving donations are deducted before tax. If you pay tax at the basic rate of 20%, for each £1 you donate, it will only cost you 80p. If you pay tax at the higher rate of 40% it will only cost you 60p. This means Payroll Giving donations cost you at least 25% less as they’re taken from your pre-tax pay.
What are the benefits of Payroll Giving?
Payroll Giving provides Carers Leeds with a regular, long-term income. This is invaluable because it not only provides guaranteed revenue but also enables us to budget and plan more effectively.
For you it is a tax-free, practical way of giving and you know that every £1 you donate will go directly to helping provide support and advice for unpaid carers in Leeds.
For example, giving just £5 a month (£60 per year) will go towards the cost of providing a massage therapy treatment for an unpaid carer, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.
