The Taxes Office now allows employers to collect small, regular donations through the payroll system which are paid to the charity as a lump sum at the end of the year.
Previously, the Taxes Office would only accept claims for donations of at least £50 but earlier this year Caring Cooks founder Melissa Nobrega asked them if payrolls could be used to encourage smaller donations.
Mrs Nobrega said: ‘If half of employees in Jersey gave £1 a week, it could generate up to £2m a year extra for the charities.’
