Membership Application

The Gift Aid scheme allows us to treat individual and joint member subscriptions as Gift Aid donations. This means we can reclaim 25p in tax from the Inland Revenue for every £1 that you donate. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can claim further tax relief in your self assessment tax return. Due to recent HMRC changes in processing Gift Aid, in respect of all joint memberships, members must declare whether they are claiming Gift Aid as an individual or together. All previous Gift Aid declarations submitted to NODA are void. All we need is a declaration from you that you wish your subscription to be treated as a donation under the Gift Aid scheme. This declaration is on the renewals form.
