Regularly donating a fixed sum of money from your salary is a simple way to give. It's also the most tax-effective, because donations are deducted before you pay tax. For example:
If you donate £10, only £8 comes out of your salary and the taxman pays the rest. Or if you're on a higher tax rate (40%), only £6 comes out of your salary and the taxman pays the rest.
Double-matched payroll giving
The Royal Bank of Scotland Group has one of the most generous payroll giving schemes in the UK.
For every £1 donated directly by group employees from their pay, the group donates a further £2 (up to a maximum monthly contribution from the group of £200).
To sign up to payroll giving please visit the community investment pages on Insite. You can also download a donation form [PDF, 634kb] to make a one-off donation by post.
In 2007 480 RBS employees generated an amazing £104,262 – thank you!
