We're able to offer a reduced membership fee to members in specific circumstances so they can continue to access our member benefits and services to support their work, careers and continuing professional development (CPD). 

Financial assistance

A member may apply for a concessionary membership rate for a period of one year, if they are not working due to:

  • Maternity leave (including paternity and adoption leave) and career break
  • Unemployment
  • Long-term sickness
  • Hardship

Requirements 

Relevant evidence will be required to support the application.  

Rate of concessionary membership fee 

The concessionary rate for members in the United Kingdom and internationally will be a reduced annual membership fee as determined by the Institution on an annual basis, in line with the annual review of membership fees.

Membership status

Being on the concessionary rate does not affect an individual’s membership status, rights, and obligations.

Save money on your CIHT membership subscription 

CIHT is one of the HMRC approved professional bodies, therefore, if you are a UK tax payer and pay your own membership subscription fee, you may be entitled to claim tax back on your membership fee (between 20-40%). You will not be able to claim tax relief if you are a non-UK tax payer, if your membership fee is paid by someone else such as your employer or if you have a free-of-charge subscription. 

How to claim

To claim tax relief, you will need to send a receipt for your membership payment (a receipt will be automatically sent to your registered email on payment), which you can submit to the tax office with your tax return form. Please quote "CIHT". If you complete a self-assessment form you can note the fee paid on Form SA 102. If you do not complete a self-assessment form you can advise HMRC of your membership fees so they can adjust your tax code by completing and returning Form P87
