If you pay the subscription personally and claim it as an expense then it will cost you a net £75 (again assuming you are a higher rate taxpayer) as you will get 40% tax relief ie £125 - £50 = £75.Sun, 30 Dec 2007 13:12:08 GMTtaxmanhttp://www.horshamforum.co.uk/Topic2524-21-1.aspx<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>I'm certainly no expert but I do my own tax returns and in the past have paid this sort of thing out of my own funds and then claimed it on my tax return.

Should I get my employer to pay the £125 then get taxed as a benefit? The other way is if I pay it personally then claim it as a work-related expense.</FONT></P><P><FONT size=3></FONT> </P><P><FONT size=3>Any advice greatly appreciated</FONT>Thu, 13 Dec 2007 19:23:33 GMTM
