Payroll giving is a scheme that lets you regularly give to a charity from your salary, tax-free.

It's an easy way to effectively make charitable donations, provided your pay or pension is taxed through Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and your employer offers the scheme, having appointed a Payroll Giving Agency.

Because your donation is deducted before tax, it lets you give more without it costing more.

For example:

• to give 10 costs you 7.80 (basic rate tax payer)
• to give 10 costs you 6.00 (higher rate tax payer)
