Please note: For those who are accessing our paid for services online from India, there is a requirement from the Indian Government to pay the Online Information Database Access and Retrieval (OIDAR) tax. This means that if you are accessing any of our paid for services online – such as exams, membership, or our online events – there will be an 18% surcharge added to the cost of the service we provide in order for us to meet our obligations to the Indian Government. This rate is set by the Government and the cost, while collected by us as Royal College, is passed directly onto India and is beyond our control. If you require any further clarification or assistance, including any further information about OIDAR tax and how it applies to you or the services we provide then please do not hesitate to contact us.
