Reduced fees and concessions

We want membership to be affordable. If your gross income from all sources is under £18,000 a year, you can apply for a 50% reduction on your annual fee.

How to apply

Tick the concession box when you join or renew and upload your most recent tax calculation (SA302) or a letter from your accountant. Concessions are for one year at a time.

Other help

Members facing a sudden hardship, such as serious illness, can ask to defer their fee for up to 6 months. Contact the membership team in confidence.

Good to know

  • Your membership number is on your certificate and in the top corner of your member account.
  • Members and Fellows appear in the Find a translator directory automatically; Associates don't.
  • You can download receipts for every payment under My account > Payments.
