A message from the Membership Secretary. To all prospective members. You would be most welcome as a member of the Trust and I look forward to hearing from you.

There are many benefits of being a member. These Web Pages are just one small part. Our in house magazine, the Windscreen, which has been voted the best of it's kind in Europe is another.

There is the social side of Area meetings, the ready availability of technical information with access to the MVT Library and of course, no matter what vehicle you get, there is someone in the Trust that has had dealings with that type of vehicle before, either in the forces or has owned one themselves.

There is the  free access to all MVT Shows in the UK and the ability to show off your vehicle to the public at the numerous Shows the MVT organise throughout the UK and Europe.

There is the not inconsiderable insurance discounts that are available to members along with a host of other benefits from our Wants and Sales facility to the Vehicle Verification scheme. Details of all these benefits can be found in these Webpages.

If you want me to send you the latest edition of Windscreen before you decide to become a member, please send a cheque or card payment details for £5:00 to cover the cost of the magazine plus postage, and a copy will be in the post to you the same day. The £5:00 will of course, be refunded on joining.

GIFT AID

Being a registered Charity, and qualifying for Gift Aid, the MVT can claim back from HM Customs and Revenue £0.28p of every pound of all subscriptions and donations received by the MVT from UK Taxpayers.

The first proviso is that those members making payments of this nature must have paid the equivalent in Income or Capital Gains Tax during the year in which the subscriptions/donations were paid.

The second proviso is that we have to ask you to complete a Gift Aid Declaration and submit it online or post it to Garry Anstee, MVT Membership Secretary, 15 St. Leonards Road, Surbiton, Surrey, KT6 4DE or fax it to the Membership Secretary on +44 (0) 208 399 9560 and only then can we apply to HM Customs and Inland Revenue for the appropriate amount. Even if you have signed a Direct Debit form you need to sign the new formatted form which is statutory compliant.

It is important for you to note that signing a Gift Aid Declaration does not effect your tax position in any way unless you pay tax at a higher rate and then it is recommended that you inform your tax advisor/accountant in the usual way.

Please help the Trust and ultimately yourselves by Completing and Submitting a Gift Aid Declaration on line
