Payroll Giving For Business

Payroll Giving for Employers

Payroll Giving is a tax-efficient scheme that allows your employees to donate to us directly from their salary.

By encouraging your team to make a donation on a monthly basis, you are giving us the gift of regular sustainable funding for habitat restoration in the UK. Anyone who pays UK tax through PAYE can donate via Payroll Giving and there is no minimum or maximum amount.

Benefits of Payroll Giving

It’s free For You to set up

It’s free – there’s no charge for you to set up a Payroll Giving scheme. What’s more, there’s no need to purchase new payroll software either.

Donations cost less

Donations are taken after National Insurance but before tax, so the donations are cheaper for your employees and it avoids Gift Aid admin.

It’s simple for employees

Each payday your payroll team takes the donation directly from your employee’s gross salary and sends it to the Payroll Giving Agency.

You can match donations

You can match or boost employee donations with tax-deductible contributions. These are a great incentive for people to sign up.

100% Employee Giving

You can pay the admin fee charged by the Payroll Giving Agency to allow 100% of your employees’ donations to be passed to us.

How It Works

We partner with Charities Aid Foundation to make it happen. Charities Aid Foundation is an HRMC-approved Payroll Giving Agency. They work with your payroll team to take the hassle out of Payroll Giving.

When your employee—who pays the basic 20% tax rate—pledges £10 via Payroll Giving, Natural World Fund receives the full £10 but only £8 is deducted from their salary.

Essentially, the income tax due is donated to Natural World Fund rather than paid to HMRC. This is even more efficient for higher rate taxpayers to donate through Payroll Giving, as opposed to Gift Aid, as, like all charities, we’re unable to claim back tax above the basic rate through the Gift Aid scheme.
