AAT is a not-for-profit organisation. Your membership fee enables us to provide resources and support to boost your career, and we offer a variety of ways to make this as easy to manage as possible.
Direct Debit
All members with a UK bank account can set up a Direct Debit. This lets you pay in up to four consecutive monthly instalments, and you can set this up at any time until your fee becomes overdue.
If you’re an employer or training provider, please email us to request a Direct Debit mandate form.
Debit or credit card
You can also pay quickly and easily online using a debit or credit card. We accept Mastercard, Visa, Maestro, Solo and Electron. If you’re an employer or training provider, please call us on +44 (0)20 3735 2468 to pay over the phone. Our lines are open 09.00–17.00 (UK time), Monday to Friday.

If you're an employer or training provider paying by bank transfer, please email remittance advice made on behalf of your students or members to aatfinance@aat.org.uk.
Training providers and AAT Employer Scheme members can email us at customersupport@aat.org.uk to request to be invoiced for their employees’ fees.
Training providers can also download payment codes, which can be allocated to new students to be used during their student registration, and receive a weekly consolidated invoice.
Cheque
In line with official advice, the AAT office remains closed until further notice. As a result we are unable to process any cheque payments. Please use another payment method on this page.
If you're facing financial difficulties
As well as paying in instalments by Direct Debit, there are several other ways to make paying your fee more manageable.
If you pay your own membership fee, you may be able to claim tax relief. If you’re a full member, fellow member or AAT Licensed Accountant, you may also be eligible for a reduced membership or licence fee if you meet our criteria.
If none of these apply to you, do contact us so we can explore ways to support you. Should you unfortunately need to let your membership lapse, please check the tabs below for information on how to reinstate and come back to us.
Current fees
Annual membership fees are calculated on a 12-month rolling basis from the first of the month that your registration is approved.
