For most healthcare clients, the core covers preparation and filing of Self Assessment tax returns, annual accounts for practices and companies, Corporation Tax computations, bookkeeping, VAT returns and payroll. Alongside that, we handle items specific to healthcare, such as reporting NHS income correctly, separating private fees and locum earnings, tracking professional subscriptions and indemnity cover, and advising on how drawings, salaries or dividends should be structured. The exact mix depends on whether you work as a sole trader, in a partnership or through a limited company.
We support GPs, hospital doctors, consultants, dentists and dental practices, pharmacists and pharmacy owners, nurses, carers, physiotherapists, podiatrists, psychologists and other allied health professionals. We also work with clinics and medical practices, whether they operate as partnerships, limited companies or sole trader businesses, including those employing reception, nursing and administrative staff.
It does require care, but it is straightforward when handled properly. NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, while private fees and locum income generally need to be reported separately and may not have tax deducted at source. Professional expenses that relate to your private practice, such as indemnity insurance or equipment, are treated differently from those already covered by your employment. We map each income stream and expense category correctly so your return reflects your actual position and you avoid paying tax you do not owe.
Broadly, you can claim costs incurred wholly and exclusively for your professional or business activity. Common examples include professional body registration and indemnity insurance, specialist equipment and uniforms, business mileage, and relevant training or CPD. Costs with a personal element, or those already reimbursed by an employer, generally cannot be claimed. Keeping dated receipts and a clear note of the purpose makes the position easier to support, and we can review categories with you so the claims are defensible.
It depends on what you supply. Many healthcare services are exempt from VAT, but not all activities are treated the same, and non-medical income such as retail sales, cosmetic treatments or certain consultancy can be standard-rated. Registration thresholds and partial exemption rules apply, so the right answer comes from looking at your specific mix of services and turnover. If VAT does apply, we can manage the returns and the record keeping around it.
Yes. We can run payroll for practice teams, including associates paid through PAYE, receptionists, nurses and administrative staff, handling tax codes, statutory payments, pension auto-enrolment and the reporting that goes with each pay run. Where someone is engaged on a self-employed basis, we can help review whether that treatment is appropriate, because getting employment status wrong creates avoidable risk for a practice.
Yes. Much of the accounting process runs perfectly well remotely, including document sharing, payroll, VAT returns and routine queries. Many clients prefer to send records digitally and hold reviews by phone or video, particularly when clinic and surgery schedules make travel difficult. If you would rather meet in person at key points in the year, we can arrange that too.
Start with an initial conversation about your situation. We will ask about your role, how your income is structured, whether you work alone or with a practice, and any deadlines or issues you are already aware of. From there we review your current records and filings, identify anything that needs attention, and set out a clear plan covering the services you need, how information will be shared and what the filing timetable looks like.
