Payroll giving
HMRC are consulting on draft regulations to reduce payroll giving donation handover time. The new rules in most cases will require payroll giving agents to hand over donations to charities within a maximum of 35, instead of, 60 days. The existing 60-day time limit will apply to money held in circumstances which do not meet the new conditions. The measure will have effect for money received by agents from 6 April 2014.
