Saving money on your annual subscription

You can save money on you annual CIISec subscription fees in two ways:-

  1. On behalf of our members, CIISec has successfully negotiated with HMRC to be listed as an approved professional body as per Section 344 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003. This means that you may claim tax relief for your annual membership subscription (if the subscription is paid by your personally). This applies to all levels of membership (Student, Affiliate, Associate and Full). Details can be found on the HMRC website.   Read more

  2. If you are an employee of one of our corporate members, then you are entitled to discounted rates.

The following examples show the savings available:
