Latest update on payroll giving
Since payroll giving was introduced, over $5.7 million has been donated directly from a growing number of peoples' pay to their favourite charity or donee organisation.
In March 2012 alone 2,587 employees donated just over $386,000. Because the donations were made through payroll giving, these employees received immediate tax credits totalling nearly $129,000. They did not need to wait until the end of the year to make a claim.
