Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is a way of making donations to a nominated charity such as Family Nursing & Home Care, directly from your salary. If the accumulated amount over the year is £50 or more, the charity will get an additional 25p for every £1 you donate. It is an easier way to give, as your employer will administer the scheme and you can spread your charitable giving over a year.

How does it work?

Payroll Giving enables you to donate regularly from your gross pay/pension to charities of your choice. The donations are taken from your pay/pension before income tax is applied, making it a tax-effective way to give.

For example:

you join an employer who has a payroll donation scheme, so you set up a £10 per month donation direct from your salary from January to December
the employer sends your donation to the nominated charity in December
as the donation is over £50, the charity can reclaim the tax
the charity will receive your £120 plus an additional £30 from Revenue Jersey

Your payroll will still provide your gross income (the amount before the charity deduction) to Revenue Jersey and this is also the amount you must declare on your annual tax return. You should also enter the details of the donation, along with any other qualifying donations to Jersey charities, on your personal tax return.

It is an easier way to give, as your employer will administer the scheme, and you can spread your charitable giving over a year. Even donating one hour of pay every month will make a huge difference to our work. Speak to your employer and set up payroll giving today!
