Capitation fee - covers members insurance etc.

Please write the name (or names) of the member(s) for which you are paying on the back of the cheque. If you are a UK tax payer, and have not already done so please consider enclosing a completed gift aid form. Reminders will be posted to people who have not paid (if you have difficulty in paying your subscription please contact us).
For easier payment a subscription of £16.50 may be paid quarterly via standing order. Subscriptions paid this way are collected quarterly since some banks may not be able to process payments at term intervals.
To pay this way please fill in a standing order (and a gift aid form if applicable) and post to the address above. Please ensure the members name is written on the form. The date for the commencement of the standing order should be the next available from the right hand column of the table at the top of the page. Where payments have been missed please enclose a cheque of £16.50 for each missed quarter.
Please help us and yourself by filling in a Gift Aid form and/or a standing order for subscriptions.
Why? because it helps you, and us.
| It helps you: | by budgeting your payments by ensuring the payments do not “get lost on the way” by saving you writing cheques etc. |
| It helps the Leaders: | they do not have to spend meeting time collecting payments they are not involved with accounting they have more time for your youngster. |
| It helps the Group: | by reducing paperwork by giving a regular income ** by gaining an additional 28p for every pound you pay. ** If you complete the Gift Aid declaration the Group can claim back from Inland Revenue the tax that you have paid. This will gain the Group each year an extra £18.48 for each Beaver Scout, Cub Scout and Scout |
Please Note you must be paying income tax at the standard rate to fill in the Gift Aid form.
