Payroll Giving

The Government has brought in payroll giving, which means that you can make donations directly from your pay: an easy way to support the Hawke's Bay Cancer Society.

The fact that people will receive an immediate tax credit rather than having to retain their receipts and wait until the end of the tax year to claim will be a big incentive to many people we hope.
Payroll giving, where offered by your employer, gives you the opportunity to donate to approved donee organisations, such as ours.

For every dollar donated you will receive a third back as a tax credit in the same pay period.

Tax credits for payroll donations are calculated at 33.33 cents for each dollar donated, which is deducted from your PAYE. This means that if you give $10 your net pay will only be reduced by $6.67, with the remainder coming from the tax you would otherwise pay.

To set this up and give regularly to the Cancer Society Hawke's Bay Centre there are two simple steps:

• ask your employer if they are offering Payroll Giving (it is voluntary for employers as well as employees). If they are check that they are happy for you to give to the HB Cancer Society.
• print and complete a copy of the Payroll Giving Request Form to give to your employer.
