Are RNAO fees tax deductible?

Every year, a number of members ask RNAO’s membership team: “Are RNAO fees tax deductible?”

The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) requires all of its members who are registered to practise to have professional liability protection (PLP). Because PLP is automatically included in your RNAO membership, it may be tax deductible.

RNAO recommends you consult a tax professional if you’re unsure about your personal circumstances.
