Many people on PAYE, who do not normally complete a tax return, should be able to notify their normal tax office - the one they get their notice of coding from - by letter. Simply state what you have paid, which body you paid it to and that it is required, explicitly or implicitly, within your terms of employment. My understanding is that it can only be claimed in arrears i.e. your coding for 2004/5 would be amended to reflect subs paid in 2003/4.
Other minor amendments of this nature can usually be notified in a similar manner, without having to go to all the trouble of filling in a tax return.
Ensure that you receive a revised notice of coding from your tax office within a reasonable period of time.
Regards
David Kett

I haven't heard any of the overseas members bemoaning the fact that they are not able to take advantage of this extra discount.
