It covers the core compliance work plus the healthcare-specific detail that sits around it. In practice that means Self Assessment returns that combine salary, NHS pension figures, private fees, locum income and practice profits; annual accounts and Corporation Tax returns for incorporated practices, clinics and healthcare businesses; bookkeeping and VAT returns where registration applies; payroll for practice staff and associates, including pension auto-enrolment; and tax planning on areas such as business structure, equipment purchases and how you take money out of the practice. The emphasis is on reporting your income correctly rather than squeezing it into a standard template.
Both parts need to be reported, but they are treated differently. Salaried NHS income usually arrives through PAYE, while private fees, locum sessions and any practice profit share generally need to be included in your Self Assessment return. NHS pension contributions and annual allowance considerations can also affect your position. The important thing is that everything is captured in one coherent return, with the right expenses offset against the right income streams, so you are not paying tax on figures that should have been reduced or missing relief you are entitled to.
Many medical and healthcare services are exempt from VAT, but exemption is not automatic across everything a practice does. Services such as cosmetic or aesthetic treatments, dispensing, retail products, medico-legal reports and some consultancy work may fall outside the exemption. If you provide a mix of exempt and taxable services, turnover thresholds and partial exemption rules can become relevant. The sensible approach is to review what you actually supply and charge before assuming you are outside the VAT system entirely — or before registering when you may not need to.
Often yes, provided the expense is incurred wholly and exclusively for your work and you have evidence to support it. Common examples include professional body subscriptions, indemnity insurance, GMC or NMC registration, specialist clinical equipment, uniforms and laundry, mandatory training, and a reasonable proportion of home office or travel costs where you work across sites. Capital items such as significant equipment or premises fit-outs are treated differently and may qualify for capital allowances instead. Keeping receipts and a clear note of the business purpose makes all of this much easier to substantiate.
Locums often have the most to gain, because income arrives from several practices or agencies across the year and expenses such as travel between sites, indemnity cover, equipment and administrative costs are easy to overlook. An accountant can make sure all income is reported, allowable costs are claimed properly, payments on account are set at a realistic level so you are not overpaying during the year, and any question about whether a limited company or umbrella arrangement suits you is answered with figures rather than guesswork.
There is no universal answer. Partnerships remain common in medical and dental practices because of how profits, responsibility and practice agreements are structured, while limited companies can suit some clinics, consultancies and growing healthcare businesses for reasons including how profits are extracted and how liability is held. The right choice depends on profit levels, how many principals are involved, your plans for growth or retirement, and how you want to be paid. We look at the numbers behind each option before recommending a change, and we are equally happy to confirm that your current structure still fits.
Yes. Payroll for a practice typically involves a mix of reception and administrative staff, nurses, clinicians and associates, each with different tax codes, national insurance positions and pension arrangements. We can run the payroll, issue payslips, handle starter and leaver processes, manage auto-enrolment duties and deal with HMRC correspondence on your behalf. For dental and medical associates in particular, it is worth examining whether the arrangement is set up correctly, as the tax treatment can differ from standard employment.
Absolutely. Most of the day-to-day relationship works perfectly well by phone, email and secure document sharing, which suits healthcare clients who cannot easily step away from a clinic list. Records can be sent digitally, meetings held online, and questions raised as they arise. If you would prefer to sit down and go through the figures in person at key points such as year-end or a structure review, that can be arranged around your commitments.
