Can you expense CMI membership?

[Clare@InTouch]

You can claim a subscription, without it being a benefit in kind, if it's on List 3 (and the company pays it direct, rather than reimbursing you).......

HM Revenue & Customs: Subscriptions and professional fees

HM Revenue & Customs: deduction for fees and subscriptions paid to professional bodies or learned societies.

Can you expense membership of professional bodies (CMI, AMBA etc) related purely to work? I'm assuming so, but thought it worth asking (and my accountant posts on here, so in theory, I am asking him!! )

Seriously ... I used to believe that contracting required self starters and highly developed individuals, who can work effectively on their own initiative.

Has it just become a free for all, where anyone can do it?

I mean.... Google - "can you expense professional bodies" - and you have NUMEROUS links that will help you, including one from the HMRC.

And seriously, I can't believe a contractor as seasoned as you supposedly are, can ask such a basic, newbie question.

Hey scooby... your bus is leaving.

Honestly, I do it just because I know how much you love it, and how much you love to bitch and grumble.

Really?

And guess what will happen if you do that again?

NLUK is right, is pretty easy to do a search before posting on here

For someone that gave another poster some grief for not googling a very basic and simple question you don't half push it.....

Typing Expense Professional Bodies had the answer 3 times in the first 5 hits.

Even more lazy and thoughtless than the guy you gave some stick to.
