Plenty of doctors file their own returns successfully, so it is not compulsory to use an accountant. Where an accountant tends to add value is in the detail: recognising which professional expenses are allowable, handling NHS and private income in the same return, dealing with payments on account, and knowing when a change in structure or work pattern creates a new tax consequence. If you have straightforward PAYE income only and no additional sources, your needs may be simple. The more your income is split across NHS work, private fees, locum shifts or consultancy, the more there is to get right — and the more expensive mistakes tend to be.
Locum arrangements vary. Some locum work is paid through PAYE, particularly where you are engaged on a temporary contract by a trust or practice, while other arrangements are treated as self-employment, where you invoice for your services and account for tax through Self Assessment. The distinction matters because it affects what expenses you can claim, what records you need to keep, and whether you may need to register for Self Assessment at all. We review your contracts and payment arrangements before advising, because employment status depends on the facts of each engagement rather than the job title.
Common claims include medical indemnity cover, General Medical Council and specialty registration fees, professional body subscriptions, required training and continuing professional development, specialist equipment and uniforms, and professional travel and mileage. What you can claim depends on whether the cost was incurred wholly and exclusively for your work, and — importantly — whether you are claiming as an employee or as a self-employed person, since the rules are not identical. We review your outgoings each year and flag anything that looks claimable but is being overlooked.
It can. Scottish taxpayers pay different rates and bands on earned income compared with the rest of the UK, so your overall tax position may differ from that of a colleague working elsewhere, particularly if your income sits near a band boundary. Where you also have private or locum income reported through Self Assessment, the interaction between PAYE already deducted and the final liability needs to be calculated carefully. We take your residency position into account when preparing returns and planning, rather than applying a generic calculation.
Yes. Many doctors hold NHS posts while also seeing private patients or taking on medico-legal and consultancy work, and those strands need to be reported correctly. We can handle the Self Assessment side covering all your income sources, and where you operate through a partnership or a limited company for private work, we can prepare the annual accounts, deal with Corporation Tax or partnership returns, and manage payroll and VAT if those apply. The aim is a single, consistent picture rather than separate sets of figures that do not reconcile.
That is one of the most common issues we hear, and it is usually down to workload rather than unwillingness. We can take bookkeeping off your hands, keep your income and expenses recorded through the year, and make sure the paperwork is ready well before filing deadlines. If you would rather stay involved, we can set up a simple routine that fits around clinical commitments so nothing accumulates. Either way, better records mean fewer estimates, fewer queries and a tax position you can actually see during the year.
It depends. A limited company can be suitable for some doctors with substantial private or consultancy income, but it brings additional responsibilities — annual accounts, Corporation Tax returns, payroll obligations and stricter record-keeping — and it is not automatically more tax-efficient for everyone. Factors such as your level of profit, your other income, your pension position and your long-term plans all matter. We look at your circumstances as a whole before recommending a structure, and we will explain the trade-offs rather than presenting incorporation as the obvious answer.
Yes to both. Much of what we do is handled remotely through secure document sharing and scheduled calls, which suits doctors whose rotas rarely line up with standard office hours. If you are moving from another accountant, the process is generally simple: we contact your existing firm for the relevant records and professional clearance, confirm what information we need from you, and take over the filings from an agreed point. We will tell you clearly what is required at each stage so the handover does not interrupt your tax deadlines or leave gaps in your records.
