Hi all,
Has anyone claimed tax relief on their CIPD membership fees?
I'm aware that you can claim tax relief on fees or subscriptions you pay to approved professional organisations. This only seems to apply however if you have to be a member of an organisation to do your job.
My employer encourages and supports it's HR staff to be CIPD qualified (and CMI qualified) and I'm therefore qualified to associate CIPD level and have Chartered CMI. However, this is now not an absolute requirement and they have employed people without any CIPD qualifications but with experience and who have relevant skills in other areas that are beneficial to the wider team.
Before I contact HMRC I'm keen to hear what other people have done?
Thanks in advance,
Gavin
Thanks to everyone for their input. I've checked the guidance from HMRC and it seems like they've changed it from:
You can reclaim tax you pay on fees or subscriptions to some approved professional organisations - but only if you must have membership to do your job or it’s helpful for your work.
To:
You can claim tax relief on fees or subscriptions you pay to approved professional organisations. This only applies if you have to be a member of an organisation to do your job.
So they've removed the 'or it’s helpful for your work'. Regardless, I'll submit my claim and will see what they do with it. Thanks again.
Dear Gavin, Please can you advise on which one i should choose for claiming Tax relief for CIPD. I am afraid either i m missing it or CIPD is not there. Looking forward for your response. Many thanks.

Hi Folks,
I wasn't aware that I was able to claim tax back from the subscription cost so am just doing this now.. Also backdating the 5 years but I can't for the life of me find out how much I paid per year - Have searched all through old emails and only seem to be able to find one years renewal costs. Any idea where I can find this info?
