Giving    Donees   

Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is a voluntary scheme which allows employees to make donations directly from their pay.

If your organisation currently has PAYE services carried out by iPayroll Ltd you automatically qualify to use the new "iPayroll® Giving Services" as follows:-

iPayroll Ltd will provide all administrative services on behalf of employers:-
  1. Deduct the requested donation amount from your employees salary or wage
  2. Calculate the correct tax credits for each payroll donation made
  3. Record the tax credit for payroll donations on your Employers Monthly Schedule
  4. Keep records of all tax credits for payroll donations, donation amounts, approved donee organisations and payment dates
  5. Pass the donations on to the chosen donee organisations within the specified timeframe
  6. Advise the donee organisation the donations are through payroll giving
These services relate to donations made by employees (donors) to the Charities and Not-for Profit Organisations (donees) on the pre-approved "iPayroll® Giving Service" Donee List.

The Donee List will be maintained by iPayroll and will only contain organisations which meet all requirements as laid down by IRD for donors (who have PAYE deducted from their pay) to receive tax credits for payroll donations made through the iPayroll Giving Service.

Making Donations

There are two ways for donors to make donations:-
  1. Donors are able to make donations themselves directly through the Payslip Kiosk (recommended) or
  2. Donors may request their payroll person to make the donation through timesheet entry
As this is a Voluntary Service for employers and to eliminate administration it is expected that most employers will require donors to make donations themselves directly through the payslip kiosk. iPayroll has enhanced the payslip kiosk to ensure donors may do this easily and we have also provided clear instructions to guide donors’ through this process.

Additional Donees

From 1-Apr-2010 additional donees who wish to join the iPayroll Giving Service may be added to the Donee List. If you or your employees would like to donate to organisations which are not on the donee list in the first instance these organisations should be referred to:-
