Guidance: List of approved professional organisations and learned societies (List 3)

Imported from official source

  • professional membership fees, if you must pay the fees to be able to do your job
  • annual subscriptions you pay to approved professional bodies or learned societies, if being a member of that body or society is relevant to your job
  • annual subscription for some journals or other publications where the letter ‘J’ appears in brackets after the organisation’s name on the list

    • You cannot claim tax relief on life membership subscriptions, or for professional membership fees or annual subscriptions you have:

  • not paid yourself (for example, if your employer has paid for them)
  • paid to professional organisations that are not approved by HMRC

    • Use the list to see if your organisation has been approved by HMRC.

    Your organisation can tell you how much tax you’re allowed to claim back.
