Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving

What is Payroll Giving?

Payroll Giving is a way of giving money to charity without paying tax on it. It must be paid through PAYE from someone’s wages or pension. To set up a payroll giving payment in Chronicle Payroll, you need to create a deduction type that is before tax but not national insurance.

Adding a deduction to a pay run

When you do a pay run, select the employee, and then add deduction. Select Other. All payment types allow you to edit the description, so you can put either payroll giving or the name of your scheme.

Make sure you select Before Tax. You should also review if payroll giving is before or after pensions.
