Professional Indemnity Insurance

Hi, I am a pharmacist working in a GP surgery, where my employer pays for a blanket professional indemnity insurance for the team. However, it is strongly recommended that we also have our own personally paid professional indemnity insurance. If I pay for my own professional indemnity insurance via the National Pharmacy Association, and I am not reimbursed by my employer, can I claim tax relief on this? If so how is the best way to claim this?

Hi
Professional indemnity insurance counts as an allowable expense, as it is tax deductable. To claim the relief due, record it as a business expense on your tax return, or write to us confirming the amounts paid towards this insuarnce at
