Tax Relief on Subscription

UK taxpayers

If you are working in a relevant occupation and are a UK taxpayer, you can claim tax relief on your SOE subscription if you paid it yourself and your employer did not refund it. This also applies to your Engineering Council registration fee if applicable.

When making your claim, enter it as "Society of Operations Engineers".

For further guidance, please visit the H.M. Revenue & Customs website.

You should be able to claim tax relief in retrospect for earlier years' subscriptions. You will need to contact your tax inspector with details.

Do not forget, if you paid your subscription by Direct Debit in previous years, the subscription may have been debited in two equal halves. If you experience any problems, it may help to send your tax inspector a link to this page.
