IR pushes payroll donation scheme

Large UK firms are being urged by the Government to sign up to "payroll

Payroll giving enables workers to make charity donations from their gross

The Inland Revenue is encouraging employers to sign up by adding 10 per cent

One employer benefiting from running a payroll giving scheme is Andersen,
which has more than 400 employees donating over £150,000 to charity each year.
