From the type of clubs, local societies mentioned in the list and presumably generated through the enactment of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 it looks like there are quite a few societies who are not on the list but could be.

From the Act section 201, the board seem to be Commissioners of the inland revenue after that I an not sure it seems to go a bit hazy as to who the commissioners are, how you become one, where you live, who appoints you but then that?s human rights in Britain for you or my sheltered life.
Presumably if you wanted to set up an alternative professional association to the ifa (and run your own courses) it would be these commissioners that you would have to get to recognise you. The fact that they have entitled the list DEDUCTION FOR FEES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS PAID TO PROFESSIONAL BODIES OR LEARNED SOCIETIES: SECTION 201 ICTA 1988 (formerly Section 192 ICTA 1970) might also suggest that they have some handle on the recognition of what a professional body is (which might be of interest to the cba (not on the list) person who is currently writing a 5000 worder on "Professionalism" .
