Income tax relief in respect of AGI membership subscriptions
Approval has been granted to AGI for subscription tax relief status by HM Revenue & Customs under S344 ITEPA 2003. This means that members can obain tax relief on their AGI annual membership fee. This can be done either on a tax return or by contacting HM Revenue & Customs. Relief can be claimed retrospectively for up to 4 years. More information is available on the HM Revenue & Customs website here. This effectively reduces the cost of membership for a taxpayer by at least 20% - more if you are a higher-rate taxpayer. Of ocurse this does not apply if your organisation pays your membership on your behalf.
