It depends on your circumstances. If all of your income is taxed through PAYE and you have nothing unusual to report, you may not need much support. But many doctors have income outside their main employment — private fees, locum shifts, consultancy work, rental income or practice profits — and that usually brings Self Assessment obligations, expense claims and payments on account. In those situations, an accountant can help ensure your return is accurate, your expenses are properly claimed and your tax position is planned rather than reactive.
Your NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, but any private or locum income must generally be reported through Self Assessment. HMRC collects the additional tax either through an adjustment to your tax code or through the return itself, and payments on account may apply if enough tax is due. The practical challenge is keeping private income, expenses and mileage records complete across the year so the return is correct and you know what to set aside.
Common examples include medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college subscriptions, relevant training and continuing professional development, specialist equipment, professional journals, and business travel or mileage. Whether a particular cost is allowable depends on the nature of the expense and your working arrangements, and some costs are only claimable where they are wholly and exclusively for your work. It is worth reviewing expenses properly rather than assuming or overlooking them.
Locum doctors are often treated as self-employed for tax purposes, which means registering with HMRC where appropriate, keeping records of fees, expenses and travel, and filing a Self Assessment tax return. Income can be irregular, so it helps to plan for tax across the year rather than at the deadline. Depending on your level of earnings and how you work, it may also be worth reviewing whether a limited company structure is suitable.
There is no universal answer. A limited company can suit some doctors with substantial private or consultancy income, while others are better off as a sole trader or within a partnership. The right choice depends on your income levels, how you work, your pension position, your plans for the future and how you want to take money out of the business. It is worth reviewing periodically, as the answer can change as your career develops.
Yes. Partnership work typically involves preparing partnership accounts, allocating profits between partners in line with the agreement, completing the relevant partnership tax return, and supporting each partner's own return. Where a practice employs staff, handles VAT or holds significant assets, bookkeeping and reporting need to be accurate and timely so the partners have a clear view of the practice finances.
Many medical services are exempt from VAT, but the position is not identical for every activity. If you provide non-medical services, sell goods, or have certain types of income, VAT registration thresholds and rules may become relevant. It is worth checking your specific activities rather than assuming either that VAT applies everywhere or nowhere in your case.
Yes, most accounting work can be handled remotely through secure document sharing, email and calls, which suits doctors with unpredictable schedules, and local meetings can be arranged where that is more convenient for you. If you are switching from another accountant, we can often contact your existing firm directly to request professional clearance and the records needed, so the transition is handled for you with minimal disruption.
