Direct Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is the most tax-effective way to support The Sunflower Trust. It works as follows: you, the donor, commit to supporting Sunflower Trust on a monthly basis directly from your pay.

Payroll Giving allows you to make donations to charity directly from your pay or company/personal pension. The donations are made after your National Insurance contributions are calculated but before Income Tax is worked out and deducted. Because of this, you only pay tax on what's left. This means that you get tax relief on your donation immediately - and at your highest rate of tax.

Example - basic rate tax and Payroll Giving
You pay tax at the basic rate of 20% and authorise a monthly donation of £10. That means you save £2 tax (20% of £10). The actual cost of the donation to you is £8.

Example - higher rate tax and Payroll Giving
You pay tax at the higher rate of 40% and authorise a monthly donation of £10. That means you save £4 (40 per cent of £10). The actual cost of the donation to you is £6
