Tax Relief on Membership Subscriptions
The BSAVA is a recognised ‘approved body’ by the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) – so this means that your annual membership subscription can be offset as an allowable taxable expense against income earned from your veterinary work. So a higher rate tax payer can save 40% on their BSAVA membership subscription, or 20% for a basic rate tax payer.
