Online application form

As a member of the ICG and a UK tax payer, you may get tax relief for the costs of membership where you have paid your membership out of your own pocket.

In order to help you, we have uploaded a form which you can use to claim this tax relief. When you have completed and signed the form, send it to your tax office - do not send it to the ICG.

There is also a second page of information which should answer any immediate questions, including how much tax relief you should get: basic rate tax payers will get relief at the basic tax rate - currently 20%, and higher rate tax payers will get relief at the higher tax rate - currently 40%.
