A professional-body fee
A compulsory professional-body fee linked to the activity can be a cost. A voluntary club is not the same thing. You record the receipt.
Compulsory, and for the activity
If you must belong to the body in order to practise, and the fee is that body’s, the receipt can be justified as an activity expense. Keep it in your name and with the document date.
- Compulsory professional-body fee.
- Linked to practising the activity.
- With the receipt.
A voluntary club is not the body
An association, a gym or a club you join by choice is not recorded as a professional-body fee. If there is no link to the activity, it is not this expense. The overview is in deductible expenses.
