Claiming back professional subscriptions
If your employment requires that you obtain and maintain membership of a professional organisation, you can make a claim to set the cost against your taxable earnings for income tax purposes. As you would expect there are a few hoops you will need to jump through to claim this relief. They are:
- You must have the professional membership to do your job or if membership helps you with your work.
- You can only claim back subscriptions to organisations approved by HMRC.
- You cannot claim back fees for life membership subscriptions.
- You cannot claim subscriptions you have not paid yourself, for example, your employer has paid them for you.
