I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

I had a positive experience with Accotax. The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.

I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.

Key Accounting Challenges Faced by Veterinary Practices

Running a veterinary practice means dealing with much more than patient care. The financial side can become complicated as your practice grows. This is especially true if you have to deal with suppliers, staff, equipment and changing regulations.

Also, you have to deal with high staff turnover and heavily fluctuating pharmaceutical costs. If you add in staffing costs across vets, nurses and support staff, the financial side of running a practice becomes a job in itself.

Complex VAT treatment on different services

Managing payroll across multiple staff roles

Keeping accurate stock records for medication and supplies

Staying compliant with changing tax rules

Dealing with late payments from client insurance claims and split bills.

FAQs about Accountants for Vet Surgeries

How does CruseBurke help our vet surgery save money on taxes?

Our team looks closely at your business expenses. This is to make sure that you claim all valid allowances for expensive surgical tools, clinic vehicles, and specialised staff uniforms. We also structure your corporate taxes smartly so that you can always keep more of your hard-earned clinic profits.

Can you help with VAT for veterinary services?

Yes. VAT treatment for vet surgeries isn’t always straightforward. Some services and products can be treated differently. As expert accountants for vet surgeries, we make sure your VAT returns reflect your practice accurately. We also ensure that your VAT returns are submitted correctly and on time.

What expenses can a veterinary practice claim to lower tax?

You can claim tax relief on veterinary equipment, medical supplies, staff uniforms, CPD courses, and practice marketing. We review your receipts to ensure every legitimate business expense is claimed.

Do you provide payroll services for veterinary practices?

Absolutely. We manage payroll for vets, veterinary nurses, receptionists, practice managers and other members of your team. We make sure salaries are processed correctly, payslips are prepared, HMRC submissions are completed on time and workplace pension responsibilities are taken care of, giving you one less thing to think about.

How do veterinary VAT rules apply to prescriptions versus standard pet care products?

Veterinary VAT is highly complex because it changes based on what you are selling. Standard medical treatments and prescriptions are generally standard-rated, while certain animal feed, microchipping services, or specific farm animal treatments can have completely different tax rules. Missing these differences can lead to heavy HMRC penalties. As expert accountants for vet surgeries, we accurately categorise your sales to keep you fully compliant and avoid costly tax mistakes.
