How would I have since I am not an accountant? I see you love to keep pointing that out but I have no desire to be one. Glad to see you have recognised that you are silly though.

Eh? You must be thinking of someone else. #persecution complex?

Sorry, just pounds of payroll, and millions and millions of £ payments.

I see what you mean, just a clerk, not an accountant. I'd have thought you would have come across some professional fees in your 22 years. Silly me.

We're getting off topic here, but I since I'm the one who inadvertently referred to LadyMissA as an accountant in the first place, please let me say something in her defence...

If we're talking professional subs, if the employer pays these, they're exempt from tax, so won't have to go on a P11D or P14.

If the employee pays these, the employee will write to HMRC directly to ask for relief through their tax code.

Someone working in payroll therefore may not ever come across professional subs directly - and if they're not a qualified accountant, they probably won't have to deal with the issue themselves on a personal level.

Really sorry for causing trouble. I didn't mean to!

And also if the employer pays for anything like this where I have worked it would all be confidential as things like that we never had a part in. They would be paid via the company bank account and coded to the general ledger by the accountant in question.

Aye, but all the people I've ever come across in the accounts dept will know what professional fees are as they have to accrue for them in the monthly forecasting.

Ok, if you say so.

Payroll is usually a separate function. Depends on the size of the organisation though, I guess.

people that are just clerks don't do forcasting, that's for the management accountants & not every company does accruals.
