Gift Aid
You might think that ticking the Gift Aid box doesn't really make that much of difference. However...last year we were able to claim back an extra £1.4 million from the government through Gift Aid, enabling us to reach out to many more deaf children all over the UK.
Why should I use Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is one of the easiest ways to make your donation tax effective. Here's an example of how your donation is affected by Gift Aid: Although basic rate tax is currently 22%, a donation for £10 is treated as the amount after tax is deducted from £12.80 (£12.80 minus 22% is approximately £10). The NDCS gets £2.80 back from the Inland Revenue, or an additional 28% for basic rate taxpayers.
How do I sign up for Gift Aid?
You need to state that you want the tax paid on your donation to go to the NDCS rather than Inland Revenue.

Do I qualify?
Providing you pay as much tax as the NDCS will be entitled to reclaim on your donations, you are entitled to use Gift Aid. For example, if you wish to Gift Aid donations that total £100 in one financial year, you need to have paid at least £28 to Inland Revenue that year.
