Tax relief on professional memberships (in the UK)

The SRHE is an approved professional body as listed under https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/professional-bodies-approved-for-tax-relief-list-3 (note the listing is under ‘R’ as Research into Higher Education, Society of)

So it is quite easy to claim tax relief at your prevailing rate of tax (depending on salary, usually 20% or 40%). This can be done via an online account with HMRC, which takes a few mins to set up, and this applies not just to people on self-assessment. The details are here: https://www.gov.uk/tax-relief-for-employees. In addition, you can now claim the relief retrospectively for four previous tax years. You may also need to obtain your university or employer PAYE reference to do this.
