How to pay your membership subscriptions and fees

Pay quickly and easily online

Your ICAS membership subscription and fees are due to be paid by 1 January every year. ICAS offers a range of different ways to pay, so you can find the one that suits you.

How to complete your Annual Renewal

Completing your Annual Renewal online is easy and only takes a few minutes. We'll be in touch by email when renewal for 2023 membership opens in November 2022.

If you have any questions, please see our FAQs.


Direct Debit

Direct Debit is the easy way to pay and provides peace of mind that your annual subscription will be paid on time, every year.

Choosing Direct Debit includes a range of interest-free options for paying your fees:

  • One convenient annual instalment
  • Four monthly instalments
  • Twelve monthly instalments

Learn more about paying by Direct Debit.

Online by debit or credit card

You can use our secure online payment service to pay by credit or debit card after completing your Annual Renewal.

We accept most major card types, including American Express.


What other payment methods I can use to pay my membership fees?

If you are unable to make payment of your Annual Subscription fees by the secure online payment service, please get in touch with us for other payment options.


Confirmation of payment (renewal receipt)

You will be sent a receipt once you have completed your Annual Renewal and payment is received.

If you pay by Direct Debit, the receipt will be issued once ICAS has received and processed your full payment.

If you pay by debit or credit card, you will receive an automatic email to confirm payment by WorldPay and also receive an email from ICAS with a copy of your Annual Renewal receipt once your payment has been processed.

If you arranged some other form of payment and have not received your receipt, get in touch with us. It may take up to 14 days for us to send you a manual receipt.

Please note that receipts cannot be issued before payment has been made. If the payment was made by your employer under arrangement by ICAS for larger employers, you will not have access to a receipt as this will be with your employer.


Invoices and receipts

ICAS does not issue invoices. ICAS only records the renewal income and issues a receipt once you have decided to renew your membership. You are sent an e-mail in November asking you to complete your Annual Renewal and requesting payment by 1 January 2023. If you complete your Annual Renewal and make payment, ICAS will then generate a receipt. You can then use this receipt as the basis to re-claim this expense from your employer, if permitted. Expense claims should only be made once you have incurred the cost and can then be based on the e-mailed receipt.


VAT

There is no VAT charged on ICAS membership fees or regulation fees. Annual membership subscriptions are exempt from VAT and Regulatory fees are not within the scope of VAT. The VAT registration number and VAT information appears on your receipt.


UK tax relief

Your annual subscription fees should be eligible for UK tax relief as a deduction from employment earnings or business profits. We have worked to ensure the receipt produced from the ICAS website after completion of the online Annual Renewal process is suitable for this purpose.

ICAS is approved for the purposes of section 201 of the Income and Corporation Taxes 1988. Accordingly, the whole of the annual subscription and regulatory fees are allowable for tax purposes, if paid by a member who qualifies under that section.
