"Wat een fantastische service! Gratis belastinghulp in NGT maakt het voor de dovengemeenschap veel makkelijker om hun belastingzaken te regelen, en dat is heel belangrijk. Geweldig om te zien dat organisaties zoals MDCC zorgen dat iedereen de ondersteuning krijgt die ze nodig hebben. Bedankt dat jullie zo’n verschil maken!" https://eddarbelastingadvies.nl/belastingadviseur
