Further information
When does the subscription year start and end?

The majority of our members will have a membership start date of 1 January and an end date of 31 December. To better satisfy our customer's needs, we have now moved to a rolling membership. For new or returning members, your membership will run for one year from the date you joined.

Can I reclaim tax on my membership subscription?

CIH is an HMRC approved professional body which means that if you are a UK taxpayer and you pay your own membership fees, you may be entitled to claim tax relief on your subscription. By claiming tax relief, you are able to reduce the cost of your membership. Contact the membership team today on 024 7685 1700 or email customer@cih.org.
