Tax relief

If you are a UK taxpayer you can save money by claiming tax relief on your IBMS membership fees.

IBMS membership fees are approved by the HM Revenue & Customs for tax relief.

All IBMS members that are UK taxpayers can claim tax relief from the HM Revenue & Customs on their IBMS membership fees and can claim back up to 20% of their IBMS membership fees. How much you can claim will depend on a number of factors, including how much your membership fees cost and your tax situation.

For first time claims, you can claim for the current tax year and include a backdated claim for up to the previous four tax years. Download the IBMS subscription fees information for 2020 - 2025 for information on what you may be able to claim. 

If you are still unsure contact the Membership Team at [email protected] or call on +44 (0)20 7713 0214.

Making a claim

To make a claim, please visit the HMRC website and claim tax relief for your job expenses.

You will need to:

  • send form P87 with your self-assessment return, if you make this annually, or
  • you can send it directly to your local tax office.

Claim tax relief on your HCPC registration fees 

You may also be able to claim back tax on your Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registration fees.

Details of your registration fees can be obtained by contacting the HCPC.
