I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.Posted on Google![]()

I had a positive experience with Accotax. The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.Posted on Google![]()

We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.Posted on Google![]()

I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.Posted on Google![]()

Not every doctor does, but many find it worthwhile. If you are purely salaried with no other income and no complex expenses, your tax position may be straightforward. Once you add locum work, private practice income, consultancy fees, a partnership share or a limited company, the reporting and planning considerations increase considerably. An accountant can help ensure your returns are accurate, your allowable expenses are claimed correctly and you are not overlooking obligations such as registration or payment on account.
Your NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, and you would normally report it on a Self Assessment return alongside any private, locum or consultancy income. The interaction between the two matters because additional income can affect your overall tax position, and payments on account may apply. The exact treatment depends on how your private income is earned, whether you operate as a sole trader, partnership or company, and your individual circumstances.
Yes. Locum work typically brings irregular income, travel between sites, and costs such as indemnity cover and professional subscriptions. We can help you keep organised records, work out which expenses are allowable in your situation, and report your locum income correctly. Where your locum activity is substantial, it may also be worth reviewing whether a different business structure would suit you.
Commonly considered costs include medical indemnity, professional body subscriptions, certain training and professional development costs, specialist equipment, and travel or mileage where it relates to your work. Whether a particular cost is allowable depends on the rules that apply to your employment or self-employment, and whether it was incurred wholly and exclusively for the purpose of that work. Because the detail matters, we review expenses individually rather than applying a blanket approach.
It depends on your circumstances. Sole trader or partnership arrangements are common for locum and private work, while a limited company can suit some doctors, particularly where profits are retained or income needs to be extracted flexibly. The right answer depends on your income levels, how you work, your pension position and your plans. We can talk through the advantages and drawbacks so you can make an informed decision.
Yes. Where you employ staff or pay yourself through a company, payroll support can cover payslips, PAYE reporting and the associated filings. If your private practice activity exceeds the VAT registration threshold, we can assist with registration, returns and the correct treatment of medical and non-medical services. Whether VAT applies to a particular service is a detailed question, and we will look at your specific activities.
Changing accountants is usually more straightforward than people expect. We can contact your existing accountant for the information needed, review your recent accounts and returns, and agree a handover so there is no gap in your compliance. It helps to plan the switch at a sensible point in the year, but it can generally be managed at any time.
We work with clients using secure digital communication and document sharing, which suits doctors with busy and unpredictable schedules. You can provide records electronically and we can hold meetings online or by phone at times that work around clinical commitments. If you would prefer to meet in person, we can discuss what is practical for your situation.
