Did you know?

Your subscription could be tax deductible. As CET is a condition of continued registration, self-employed professionals and practice owners are able to claim tax relief on a subscription to Optician, by claiming the cost as an expense against their income.

(PAYE employees would not be able to claim tax relief, though a practice can subscribe on their behalf, subtracting the expense from the practice's profits.)

Also, qualified optometrists qualify for the NHS Grant for CET. Why not use your grant to pay for an Optician subscription, and access our CET platform?
