Doctors often carry more financial complexity than their job title suggests. NHS pay, private fees, locum work and consultancy income can all arrive in different ways and on different timescales, which makes record keeping, expense claims and tax returns harder to keep on top of.

It depends on your circumstances. A doctor with a single salaried NHS post and no other income may not need much beyond a straightforward tax position, but once private fees, locum work, consultancy income, practice profits or a partnership are involved, the reporting and planning work grows quickly. An accountant can help ensure your returns are accurate, your allowable expenses are claimed properly and your tax position is considered as a whole rather than year by year.
Yes. Where you have NHS employment income alongside private medical income, your employment is usually taxed through PAYE while the self-employed element is reported through Self Assessment. The two need to be brought together correctly, including any payments on account and adjustments such as pension-related or student loan matters. We prepare and file the return, but we also look at how the income mix affects your overall position so you are not caught by an unexpected bill.
Commonly claimed items include medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college or specialist society subscriptions, professional development and training that maintains or updates your existing expertise, specialist equipment, and travel or mileage for business journeys between sites. Whether a particular cost is allowable depends on your employment status, your contract and the specific purpose of the expense — employment expenses face stricter tests than self-employed ones, so it is worth checking rather than assuming.
Locum doctors often work through a mix of engagements, some paid directly and some through agencies, which can mean multiple payments, varying tax treatment and more administration. Keeping a clear record of each engagement, its dates, income and associated costs makes the tax return much easier to prepare and reduces the risk of something being missed or misreported.
Sometimes, but not automatically. A limited company can suit some private practitioners, consultants and medico-legal practices, particularly where profits are retained or where a corporate structure fits the way you work. For others, sole trader or partnership status is simpler and more appropriate. The right answer depends on your income levels, how the work is contracted, your pension position and your plans, so it is worth discussing before making a change.
VAT is a common confusion for doctors because some medical services are exempt while others, such as certain cosmetic procedures or medico-legal reports, may be taxable. Whether registration is required depends on the value and nature of your taxable supplies, and some doctors can also come within scope when selling goods or services alongside clinical work. We can review your activities and advise on registration and reporting where it applies.
Yes. Much of the information we need can be shared digitally, and many doctors find remote communication convenient alongside a demanding clinical schedule. What matters most is having a clear way to pass across records and documents and an agreed point of contact for questions, so the accounting work keeps moving even when your diary is full.
Changing accountants is usually straightforward. We will ask for your authorisation to contact your current accountant, request the relevant professional clearance and information, and review what has been filed previously. If there are gaps in your records or outstanding filings, we will explain what needs to be addressed before moving forward so the transition does not create avoidable problems.
