Setting up payroll giving donee organisations (New Zealand)

Payroll Giving is a voluntary scheme that was introduced in 2010. The scheme allows employees to "give as they earn" by making donations directly from their pay to approved Donee organisations. For every dollar an employee donates, they receive a third back as a tax credit in the same pay period as the donation is being made.

Payroll Giving donations can only be made to Donee organisations that have Inland Revenue-approved donee status. To check if an organisation is an approved donee, visit the following IRD web page:

Any Donee organisations that employees want to donate to using the Payroll Giving Scheme must be set up in the MYOB Exo Payroll system before the donations can be processed.
