What is allowable for employees?

Fees and subs are allowable if they are in this list and are:

  • a statutory fee or contribution where employees pay this out of their earnings from an employment and are required to pay this as a statutory condition of their employment
  • are an annual subscription to a body where employees pay this out of their earnings from an employment and the activities of the body are directly relevant to the employment
  • where the activities of a body are directly relevant to an employment where the performance of the duties of that employment is either:

    – directly affected by the knowledge concerned

    – involves the exercise of the profession concerned.

You can find the list of deductions for fees and subscriptions paid to professional bodies or learned societies on HMRC’s website.
