Membership fees

CIHT subscriptions run on an annual basis, January to December. We offer a pro rata rate in the first year of your membership, meaning you only pay from the month you join until the end of the calendar year, thereafter you pay the full year's fee in January.
We offer a range of payment options including credit/debit card and direct debit.

UK membership applies to residents in the UK on 1 January. International membership applies to residents outside the UK on 1 January. A reduced fee has been applied if you reside in a lower or middle income country (LMIC) as defined by the World Bank.

If you have any questions about joining CIHT or pro-rata fees, please ask our Membership Team at membership@ciht.org.uk or complete the enquiry form

Help with your membership fees 

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). 

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
