Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is an easy, tax-efficient way to donate regularly to your chosen charities.


Why Choose Payroll Giving?

Payroll Giving is an easy, tax-efficient way to donate regularly to your chosen charities.

The Scottish SPCA’s mission is to make Scotland the best place in the world for an animal to call home. We need supporters like you to make it possible for our team to do vital work protecting Scotland’s animals from cruelty and neglect. And be their voice where it’s needed most.

 

3 Reasons to Choose Payroll Giving

Simple & flexible

Everything is handled through your employer’s payroll system so you don’t need to do anything after signing up. It’s flexible so you can start, stop or change your donation amount at any time.

Tax efficient

Donations are processed before tax is applied. This means a £10 donation would only cost you £8 (or £6 if you’re a higher-rate taxpayer). You give less; the charities you care about get more. Some employers even match your donations.

High impact

Charities benefit from steady, predictable income streams so your monthly contributions help fund vital work now and support future plans.
