Not every doctor does, but many benefit from one. If all of your income is taxed through PAYE and you have no untaxed income, your affairs may be straightforward. Once you have locum income, private practice fees, consultancy or medico-legal earnings, partnership profits, rental income or higher-rate income that needs reviewing, an accountant can help ensure your return is complete, your allowable expenses are claimed properly and your filing obligations are met. Doctors with more complex arrangements often find the clarity alone is worthwhile.
Yes. Combining NHS pay with private fees, locum work or consultancy income is one of the most common situations we deal with. The key is making sure all income sources are captured, that expenses are allocated sensibly between them, and that payments on account and any higher-rate liabilities are anticipated rather than discovered at filing time. How it works in practice depends on whether the private income is earned personally or through a company.
Locum income is usually untaxed at source, which means you will generally need to register for Self Assessment and pay tax through the return process, often with payments on account. It is worth keeping a clear record of assignments, invoices issued, payments received and expenses such as travel between sites, indemnity cover and professional subscriptions. If locum work is your main activity, it is also worth reviewing whether operating through a limited company would suit you.
Commonly claimed items include medical indemnity insurance, GMC and specialist registration fees, professional body subscriptions, mandatory training and CPD, professional books and journals, and certain equipment or uniform costs. Travel and mileage for genuine business journeys may also be claimable, though ordinary home-to-work commuting is not. Each expense must be incurred wholly and exclusively for your work, and the position can differ between employed and self-employed doctors, so it is best reviewed individually rather than assumed.
VAT depends on your turnover and the nature of your services, and medical services are treated differently from some other activities. If you provide private medical services, run a practice with additional revenue streams, or supply non-medical services such as medico-legal reports, you may need to consider registration. Because VAT rules are detailed and the treatment varies, it is worth checking your specific position before you reach any threshold.
There is no universal answer. Sole trader arrangements are simpler and involve less administration, while a limited company can offer different tax outcomes and flexibility over how you take income, but brings filing, payroll and Corporation Tax obligations. The right choice depends on your income levels, whether you have employment income alongside self-employment, your plans for the future and how much administration you want to take on. This is a decision best made after reviewing your actual numbers.
Yes. Many doctors need both personal and business reporting, and keeping them aligned avoids the common problem of figures that do not reconcile. We can prepare personal tax returns alongside partnership accounts, limited company statutory accounts and Corporation Tax computations, along with bookkeeping, payroll and VAT returns where these apply. For practice partners, we can also work with the practice's own accountant so that your personal return reflects your profit share correctly.
Start with a conversation. Tell us how you work — employed, self-employed, locum, private practice, partner or a combination — and what you currently have in place for records and tax filings. We will review your circumstances, explain what support is likely to be relevant, and agree how to move forward. If you are switching accountants, we can manage the handover with your existing adviser and obtain the information needed to take over your records.
