We've been working to make it easier for registrants to claim tax relief on their registration fees, and manage aspects of their own registration.
Our most recent improvement is now live: if you’re a registrant, you can now download a general payment receipt at the click of a button! This comes after analysis of queries to our Registration team, which indicated it would be helpful.
The general payment receipt is a list of the payments you've made to us since October 2020. It’s a PDF that is downloadable from each registrant’s online account.
More information and support on this is available via the Access your general payment receipt page.
Using the payment receipt to claim back tax
If you're a UK taxpayer and a current registrant, you can claim tax back on your registration fee. (This is because registration fees are a professional fee, which is tax-deductible.) The process is sometimes called 'claiming tax relief'.
In order to make a claim, registrants will need to make sure they have proof of an eligible payment that they made. The general payment receipt can provide that proof.
Registrants can also use the general payment receipt to confirm the amount they wish to claim and the date to give for the payment, as well as helping to determine which tax year the payment falls within.
We recommend reading our support on claiming back tax before making a claim.
Other available downloads
We're also pleased to confirm that all registrants can download a confirmation of their current registration status from their online account. This is also known as a certificate of current professional status (CCPS) or letter of good standing.
This is a PDF showing a registrant's registration status and their registration record, which is where details like historic sanctions, or the date they voluntarily deregistered, would show.
To read more, including information on how to download this, head to the confirmation of registration status page.
