It depends on your circumstances. A salaried hospital doctor whose only income is taxed through PAYE may have little need for ongoing accounting support, although there are still situations where a tax return is required and a review can be worthwhile. Doctors with locum income, private practice fees, consultancy work, partnership profits or several income sources at once usually find that professional support saves time and reduces the risk of reporting errors. The right answer comes from looking at your actual income and working arrangements rather than applying a general rule.
Not necessarily. Many doctors whose tax is fully collected through PAYE do not need to file a return. However, a return may be required in various situations, for example where you have untaxed income from locum shifts or private work, income above certain thresholds from savings or dividends, high-income child benefit considerations, or where HMRC has issued a notice to file. If you have any additional income streams, it is worth checking your position rather than assuming either way.
Yes. NHS salary and private or locum earnings can be reported together, but they are treated differently in the calculation, and the interaction between employment income and self-employment profits is a common source of confusion. We look at each source separately, confirm what has already been taxed at source, and make sure the resulting liability and any payments on account are correct. If you are a Scottish taxpayer, the Scottish Income Tax bands apply to your earned income, which is another factor in the calculation.
Commonly considered costs include medical indemnity insurance, professional body and GMC or equivalent subscriptions, mandatory training and continuing professional development, specialist equipment, professional books and journals, and business mileage. The exact treatment depends on whether a cost relates to employment, self-employment or both, and personal or commuting costs are not allowable. Because the rules are specific rather than generous, it is worth having your expenses reviewed rather than assuming a particular item is claimable.
Locum work is often treated as self-employment, which means you may need to register with HMRC, keep records of income and expenses, and file a Self Assessment return. If you work through an agency, the way you are engaged matters, since some arrangements involve PAYE while others do not. Locums can also find themselves working for several different organisations in a single tax year, which makes accurate record keeping and a clear view of payments on account especially important.
There is no universal answer, and it depends on your level of profits, how you intend to take money out of the business, your pension position, your other income and your longer-term plans. A limited company can offer flexibility in some circumstances, but it brings additional filing, payroll and accounting obligations. We look at the trade-offs for your particular situation and explain the practical implications before you commit to a structure.
Distance is rarely a problem for accounting work. Records, bank statements and invoices can be shared securely online, and meetings can be held by phone or video, which suits doctors with irregular rotas or those who move between contracts. What matters most is that information flows reliably and that you have a named point of contact for questions, particularly around filing deadlines and payments on account.
It is usually straightforward. We can contact your existing accountant to request professional clearance and the handover of relevant records, and you do not need to manage that conversation yourself. In most cases we will ask for your previous accounts and tax returns, details of your income sources for the current year, access to bookkeeping records where they exist, and confirmation of any outstanding filing obligations. Once that is in place, we can confirm what needs to be done and by when.
