Ooops just spotted my mistake.........I meant to say in my experience of constituted (not chartered) societies!
I understand folks comments now!
But we don't live in a democracy. Our taxes are (meant to be) for the services we receive not for the right to be in the country, though thats a fine line.
My problem would be if the situation arose where an archaeologist couldn't work without paying the IfA (or anyone else) for the right to do so. It wouldn't really effect people in my situation as the company would pay, but would hit sole workers and small companies more.
Don't know if this would be the case...............but it smells like it.
Of course it won't be an issue if that fee is tax-deductable
