A non-practising concession is available for those professionals who no longer work within the surveying profession for remuneration. This is defined as providing a service or services within the meaning of Article 3 of the Royal Charter to professional, corporate, institutional and all other clients. This is a wide definition and includes, for example, those professionals who are in management or administrative jobs which benefit from their surveying qualification and/or experience. Payments received for services as a non-executive director are allowed, provided the professional receives no other remuneration and does not expect to return to work in the future for remuneration.
The non-practising/no longer working within the surveying profession concession reduces the annual subscription fee by 50%. This concession only applies to the current year, you must re-apply each year.
