Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is easy.
Payroll giving allows you to make regular donations that deducted pre-tax from your pay. You automatically receive a tax credit of 33.33c for every donated dollar.
What is Payroll Giving?
Payroll giving is administered by employers, allowing employees to make regular donations to approved charities. As with other donations, you are entitled to a tax credit of 33.33c for each dollar donated, however, instead of having
to wait until the end of the tax year to receive the credit, 33.33c for every dollar donated is credited to your pay at the time of donation.
You can find more information on the IRD website .
Does my employer offer payroll giving?
Just ask your Manager or HR representative if it is available in your workplace. Any organisation which electronically files its employer monthly schedule and deduction form with the IRD can offer payroll giving to its employees. If your organisation would like to find out more about setting up payroll giving for its employees, please visit the IRD website or contact sponsorkids@variety.org.nz, (09) 522 3744.
