Tax Relief Information

CIEA subscriptions have been approved for Income Tax relief under Section 344 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003. This applies to UK members who are in employment.

Members must pay the full CIEA subscription rate and claim relief from HM Revenue & Customs.

If there are any queries members should refer to HM Revenue & Customs Head Office Reference: CB/T1644/14/2006/JEM. Tax relief at the basic rate is 20% (effective April 2008) and 40% at the higher rate.

If you have any queries about completing forms please contact your local Tax Office. The tax relief you are entitled to depends on the rate of tax you pay.
