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.

NODA reserves the right to request a higher subscription if it is believed the society/associate member's box office receipts are greater than indicated here and to inspect the society/associate members accounts.

Only societies / groups need to agree to our VAT terms and conditions VAT Invoice and receipts are NOT normally issued. If you require one please contact NODA's Finance Department on 01733 374 790
