Who can claim

If QSi membership is advantageous to you in carrying out your work or is relevant to your job, members employed in the UK may claim tax relief on their membership fee.


Who cannot claim

· Non UK tax payers

· Members whose subscription fee is paid by someone else (e.g. employer)


How much can I claim ?

Higher rate taxpayers can claim 40% of their membership fee. Lower rate taxpayers can claim 20% of their membership fee.

How to claim

In order to claim tax relief, you will need to submit your membership payment receipt to the tax office with your tax return form.
