CIHT is one of the HMRC approved professional bodies, therefore, if you are a UK tax payer and pay your own membership subscription fee, you may be entitled to claim tax back on your membership fee (between 20-40%). You will not be able to claim tax relief if you are a non-UK tax payer, if your membership fee is paid by someone else such as your employer or if you have a free-of-charge subscription.
To claim tax relief, you will need to send a receipt for your membership payment (a receipt will be automatically sent to your registered email on payment), which you can submit to the tax office with your tax return form. Please quote "CIHT". If you complete a self-assessment form you can note the fee paid on Form SA 102. If you do not complete a self-assessment form you can advise HMRC of your membership fees so they can adjust your tax code by completing and returning Form P87
