2. Members become eligible for the permanent retired subscription rate on the renewal date following their retirement from practice. Those with gross earnings from medical practice of less than £8,986 pa also qualify for this rate, although a separate claim must be made each year.
3. A Salary link can be claimed by any member whose gross professional income for the year October 2008 - September 2009 is not expected to exceed £33,226. A separate claim must be made each year.
4. The spouse/partner concessionary rate is available to a married couple or to unmarried partners in a long term relationship with financial interdependence and a joint home. The reduction is granted only to the partner who otherwise would have paid the lesser subscription rate.
5. A fresh claim form should be completed by members in this category for each year that they claim.
