Ian Turner comments on [UK] Claiming tax back on donations as a higher rate tax payer with a normal job

[Ian Turner]

Is donating via payroll deduction a simpler way to achieve this result?

[Will Howard🔹]

I personally find it simpler to do it this way because:

1. It’s easier to change the amount and where you are donating to

2. Not all employers offer Payroll Giving, you could probably ask them to set it up but that would be a hassle. I’m currently employed via Deel, which doesn’t offer it as far as I’m aware

Also I found ringing them up really quite straightforward, it took me maybe 15 mins each time.
