It depends on your circumstances. A doctor with a single NHS salaried post and no other income may only need light-touch support, but as soon as you add private fees, locum shifts, consultancy or medico-legal income, you have untaxed income to report and possibly several sets of records to reconcile. An accountant can help make sure your Self Assessment is accurate, that you are claiming the professional expenses you are entitled to, and that deadlines are met without penalties.
Your NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, but the private element almost always needs to be reported through Self Assessment, with any tax due paid separately. You need to account for income already taxed at source and make sure the private side is calculated correctly, including allowable costs. The exact position depends on whether your private work is self-employed, channelled through a company, or treated as additional employment income.
Indemnity cover, GMC fees, royal college and specialist society subscriptions, and certain professional body memberships are common areas doctors look at, but the relief available depends on whether the cost relates to your employment or your self-employed work, and whether the relevant rules are met. Training and CPD costs can also be claimable in some situations, though not where they amount to qualifying for a new profession. We review your specific costs before treating anything as allowable.
Locum doctors typically need to record each engagement, the payer, the amounts received and any tax already deducted, alongside the expenses of doing that work — travel between sites, professional insurance, equipment and similar costs. Because locum income is often irregular and can be paid through agencies or directly, keeping records current throughout the year makes filing far simpler and reduces the risk of missing income altogether.
There is no automatic answer. Whether a limited company is beneficial depends on your level of private or locum income, how you intend to draw money from the business, your pension position and how much administration you are willing to take on. Operating through a company brings additional obligations such as annual accounts, Corporation Tax returns and payroll, and it may not suit everyone. We look at your circumstances and explain the trade-offs before you commit.
Yes. GP partners and doctors in joint private practice need clear profit shares, drawings records, expenses allocation and reporting that satisfies both the partners and HMRC. We can prepare partnership accounts and the related tax returns, and help make sure the way profits are split reflects the actual agreement between partners.
Both arrangements can work. Many doctors prefer to share documents digitally and handle matters by email, phone or video call, which fits well around clinical rotas. What matters most is that your records are shared securely and that you have a clear point of contact whenever a question arises.
Switching is usually more straightforward than doctors expect. We ask for details of your current accountant, obtain authorisation to act on your behalf with HMRC and request the relevant records and filing history. From there we review what has been done, identify anything outstanding, and take over bookkeeping, returns and deadlines going forward. It helps to start the process before a filing deadline rather than in the middle of one.
