Not every doctor does, but many benefit from one. If your income comes solely from a single salaried NHS post and your tax affairs are handled through PAYE, your position may be relatively straightforward. Once private fees, locum shifts, consultancy income, medico-legal work, practice profits or company income enter the picture, the reporting requirements multiply and the risk of an inaccurate return rises. An accountant can help you report everything correctly, claim the expenses you are entitled to and plan ahead rather than discovering a liability after the event.
Your NHS salary is normally taxed through PAYE, while private fees, locum income and similar earnings are usually reported through Self Assessment. The return brings both together, and the tax already deducted through PAYE is taken into account. Because the interaction between the two can affect your overall liability, it is worth keeping clear records of private income and related expenses during the year rather than gathering them at the deadline.
Locum work often involves multiple agencies or direct engagements, each paying separately and sometimes without tax deducted. Keeping a record of every shift, invoice, payment received and expense incurred makes the year-end position far clearer. It also helps identify whether payments on account are likely, so you can plan for them rather than being caught out. Travel between sites, agency fees and professional costs may also be relevant, depending on the circumstances.
Commonly claimed costs include medical indemnity insurance, GMC or specialist register fees, professional body subscriptions, mandatory training and continuing professional development, and certain equipment used for work. Travel and mileage may qualify where journeys are genuinely business related, though ordinary commuting generally does not. What is allowable depends on your employment status and the nature of the expense, so it is worth checking your specific situation rather than assuming any cost is deductible.
There is no single right answer — it depends on your income level, how many income streams you have, whether you work alone or with others, and your wider plans. Sole trader status is simpler administratively, partnerships suit shared practice arrangements, and a limited company can be appropriate for certain private or consultancy activities. Each structure carries different tax, filing and pension implications, so it is worth reviewing the options against your own circumstances before committing.
Many services provided by registered medical professionals are exempt from VAT, but not everything a doctor does falls into that category. Certain non-medical activities, report writing and some cosmetic or advisory services can be treated differently, which may affect whether registration is required and how invoices should be raised. The position depends on the exact services you provide, so it should be reviewed individually.
Yes. NHS pension contributions and any private income sit alongside each other when assessing your overall tax position, and pension considerations can influence decisions about how much private work to take on or how to structure it. We can look at your income mix and flag where pension-related matters may need attention, so those decisions are made with a fuller understanding of the implications.
Many doctors prefer to handle things remotely, sharing documents securely and communicating by email, phone or video call, which fits around clinical rotas and on-call commitments. If you are already working with another accountant, changing over is usually a straightforward process — we would take on the necessary authorisations and contact your existing adviser for the relevant records, so the transition happens without disruption to your filing obligations.
