Not every doctor does. If you are employed on a straightforward salary with no additional income or unusual expenses, your tax is largely dealt with through PAYE. An accountant becomes genuinely valuable where there is complexity — private or locum income, multiple roles, partnership or practice involvement, a limited company, pension considerations, or simply a wish to know which professional expenses can be claimed and to have returns prepared accurately and on time.
Yes. Combining employed and self-employed income is one of the most common situations we see. PAYE will usually have been applied to your NHS salary, but private fees, medico-legal income and some locum work need to be reported through Self Assessment. We prepare the return, report both streams correctly, work out what remains payable after tax already deducted, and help you plan for payments on account so the bill does not come as a surprise.
Locum doctors are generally treated as self-employed, so you will need records of every assignment and the income received, along with the expenses you incurred — travel and mileage between sites, medical indemnity, professional subscriptions, training and any equipment used for the role. Keep invoices or agency statements, bank records and a mileage log. Good records throughout the year make the return far quicker to prepare and considerably easier to support if HMRC asks questions.
It depends on your employment status and your individual role. Common examples include medical indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, costs of training that maintains or updates skills required for your existing work, and travel to temporary or temporary-workplace locations. For self-employed doctors, a wider range of business costs can apply. There are specific rules around each category, so it is worth reviewing your own outgoings with us rather than assuming an expense qualifies.
There is no single answer, and it very much depends on how you work. Many doctors with NHS employment must remain on payroll for their employed income, and tax rules limit the benefit of providing services through a personal company in certain circumstances. For doctors working privately, running a practice or providing consultancy services, a limited company may be worth considering. We look at your total income, structure and plans before advising, and we are clear when incorporation is unlikely to help.
Pension contributions can attract tax relief, but for doctors with high earnings the annual allowance and any resulting charges can be complicated, particularly where NHS pension growth is involved. The interaction between contribution levels, total income and tax bands means the position is individual. We can factor pension information into your tax return and planning, and work alongside your pension adviser where specialist pension input calculations are needed.
Yes. Most of what we do can be handled remotely — secure document sharing, video or phone calls and digital bookkeeping mean physical location is rarely a barrier, and we are happy to work with doctors across Farnworth and further afield. If you already have an accountant, switching is usually straightforward: we contact your existing firm for the relevant records and professional clearance, review what has been filed previously, and pick up the work without you having to chase either side.
The first conversation is about understanding you. We will ask about your role, your income sources, whether you are employed, self-employed, in a partnership or running a company, how your records are kept and what deadlines you are facing. From there we explain what support is likely to be needed, what it involves and what information we would need from you, so you can decide whether we are the right fit before anything is finalised.
