Professional Subscription Tax Relief: Who Qualifies and What You Get
If you pay professional body fees to do your job, you may be able to claim tax relief on those membership costs.
This scheme allows employees to claim tax relief on the cost of memberships and fees paid to professional bodies that are required for their specific job.
Who it's for
This is for employees who are required to pay fees to a professional organization to maintain their job or professional standing.
What you get
You can claim tax relief at the standard rate on the membership fees you have paid to your professional body.
What it costs you
There is no fee to claim this relief. To complete the process, you will need to provide your receipts as proof of payment.
The catch to know
Many people, including paramedics, often overlook the fact that they can claim this back for mandatory annual registration fees, such as those for PHECC.
