                                                                                        This number is given to you by the Revenue Commissioners. You will find it quoted on any form/correspondence sent to you by them.

                                                                                        I do not pay tax, but my husband/wife does.
                                                                                        If you are taxed as a married couple, either party can sign the form using either party's PPS number.

                                                                                        I am a pensioner. Am I eligible for charity tax relief?
                                                                                        Pensioners may pay some PAYE tax on their pension. Concern can claim on this amount.

                                                                                        What if I give to more than one charity?
                                                                                        It does not matter if you have given to other charities as well. MDI only reclaims tax on the donations made to MDI.

                                                                                        What if I am a self-assessed tax payer?
                                                                                        This scheme is for PAYE - only tax payers. If your income is self-assessed or partly self-assessed we cannot claim tax on your donation. You can claim your own relief from the revenue.
