Paying UNISON subs can often be cheaper than other unions… if you claim the tax back!

Did you know that as a SECAmb UNISON member, 70% of your subscription is tax free?

This is because we’re part of UNISON Health which is on the HMRC list of approved professional organisations, along with RCN and BMA.

To get this, simply update your details with HMRC.

You can also claim back up to 5 years if you haven’t claimed before.

Whilst you are there, make sure you’re also up to date on other claimable items like maintaining uniform (flat rate expenses) and professional registration fees (HCPC or NMC).

Make a claim online here using Government Gateway (contains link to create an account if you don’t have one already).

Or complete and post this form or call 0300 200 3300

Don’t forget, if anything changes (like you leave UNISON) you will need to update HMRC as you may then need to pay more tax.

Remember, there are a lot of benefits in SECAmb UNISON that you won’t get elsewhere, including:

  • Our Education Grant of £50 per year for all members or £100 in your first year of membership
  • Get a £10 Love2shop voucher for every new member you sign-up! – doubled to £20 until 31st December 2023

And if you are not already a member, why not Join UNISON and see what you could save!
