Gift Aid
You might think that ticking the Gift Aid box doesn't really make that much of difference. Last year, however, we were able to claim back an extra £2.6 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.
As basic rate tax in the UK is currently 20%, a donation of £10 is treated as the amount after tax is deducted from £12.50 (£12.50 minus 20% is £10). With your permission, through the Gift Aid scheme, NDCS can get the £2.50 back from HM Revenue & Customs, thus giving an additional 25% to NDCS on top of the original donation for basic rate taxpayers at no extra charge to the donor.
Use the Gift Aid calculator (right) to find out how much extra money your donation will be worth if you sign up for Gift Aid.

Do I qualify?
Providing you pay as much tax as 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 £25 to HMRC that year.
