The work covers the same core compliance tasks as any accounting service — Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, bookkeeping, payroll and VAT — but applied to healthcare circumstances. In practice that means handling returns where NHS and private income are mixed, identifying expenses that are genuinely allowable for clinicians, running payroll for shift-based and associate staff, advising on whether a limited company structure suits your income, and keeping a clear timetable of filing and payment deadlines. Many healthcare clients also want periodic management accounts so they can see how a practice is performing and plan ahead.
It usually means more than one income source to report, and possibly more than one tax treatment. Self-employed locum or private fee income is generally reported through Self Assessment, while employed NHS earnings are taxed through PAYE. The two interact: the tax already deducted through PAYE is offset against your total liability, and payments on account may be required. Careful record keeping of sessions, fees, travel and clinical expenses is essential so that the return reflects your true position rather than an estimate.
Commonly claimed items include professional indemnity insurance, GMC, NMC or GDC registration and subscription fees, medical equipment and instruments, clinical clothing such as scrubs, mandatory training and CPD, professional journals, and business travel between sites. Where you work from home for admin, a reasonable proportion of household costs may be claimable. Each item needs to be incurred wholly and exclusively for the business and supported by records, so it is worth reviewing your spending with an accountant rather than assuming something will be accepted.
It depends on your turnover and the nature of your services. Some healthcare services are exempt, while others — including certain cosmetic, non-medical or retail elements such as dispensing — may be taxable. Mixed NHS and private income can therefore make VAT treatment less straightforward than it first appears. If your taxable turnover approaches the registration threshold, or you are already registered, it is worth reviewing what falls inside and outside the scope so returns are prepared accurately and you do not pay more than necessary.
Yes. Healthcare payroll often involves salaried staff, bank or locum workers, part-time team members, overtime and enhanced rates, plus associate clinicians paid on a profit-share basis. We can run payroll, calculate PAYE and National Insurance, issue payslips, handle pension auto-enrolment duties and produce the reports needed for year-end. Keeping payroll and the practice accounts in the same place also helps avoid the mismatch that creeps in when two separate processes run side by side.
Keep records of all income — NHS statements, private fee invoices, insurer payments, locum timesheets — along with receipts and invoices for expenses, bank and credit card statements, payroll records and anything relating to equipment, premises or professional fees. HMRC generally expects records to be kept for around six years from the end of the relevant tax year, and longer for certain items such as assets. Digital record keeping through cloud accounting makes this far easier, and we can help set up a system that fits the way you already work.
Yes. Much of the day-to-day work — sharing documents, reviewing accounts, signing returns and discussing queries — can be handled remotely using secure online tools, cloud accounting software and scheduled calls. That said, many clients value a mix, with more detailed conversations held in person or by video when a decision needs proper discussion, such as incorporating or restructuring a practice. We agree the working arrangements with you at the outset so you know how and when to get in touch.
Start with a conversation about how you work and what you need. It helps to have your most recent tax return, accounts, and a rough idea of your income sources and current bookkeeping arrangements available, although nothing needs to be perfect before you make contact. We will review your position, explain what needs attention, outline the services that fit and set out a clear timetable for filings and payments. If you are switching accountants, we can handle the handover with your existing adviser on your behalf.
