As your national association for teaching primary English, we want to make sure you're aware of every possible advantage you can leverage on the road to providing your students with a meaningful education, especially the ones that help you achieve even more value on the investments you make into your professional development. 

Here are all the PETAA resources you can claim back on your tax* — and before you scroll down to check: yes, that does include your annual membership fees!

✓ CAN CLAIM: ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEES

• Invest in your professional development and in your finances by claiming membership fees back on your tax - just save your payment invoice, or request a new copy from our friendly membership team!
• An individual membership starts at just $100 for 12 months (or $180 for two years) and will give you immediate 24/7 access to our massive collection of online resources, readings and videos to support you in your day-to-day work. For schools, the annual savings are massive, especially if you choose a PL Subscription School Membership.

✓ CAN CLAIM: PETAA ANNUAL LEADING WITH LITERACY CONFERENCE

• Shop smarter with our discount book bundles. Claim back critically acclaimed texts that focus on teaching EAL/D learners, teaching reading and writing with texts, or grammar essentials.

✓ CAN CLAIM: ONLINE PL COURSES

• Funding your own teacher PL? You can claim self-education and study expenses if your course relates directly to your employment as a teacher and it maintains or improves the skills or knowledge you need for your current duties — and at PETAA, that's what our PL is all about!
• Our hot tip for taking advantage of this claim? Our range of affordable, highly practical online courses start at just $30 for members, and they cover everything from designing a teaching and learning sequence to reading to the all-important topic of grammar.
