It depends on your circumstances, but specialist accounting support can be helpful if you are a self-employed associate dentist. You may need to complete Self Assessment, keep records of associate income, claim allowable professional expenses and understand payments on account. An accountant can help you organise this information and meet your filing obligations, although the exact support required will depend on your income sources and working arrangements.
NHS and private dental income can create different record-keeping and tax considerations. Some dentists receive income through a practice, while others receive payments directly or through a mixture of arrangements. Keeping these income streams clear can help with bookkeeping, tax returns and VAT reviews where relevant. The correct treatment can depend on your contract, business structure and the services provided, so it is worth reviewing your position rather than assuming a single approach applies.
Dentists may be able to claim expenses such as professional subscriptions, indemnity insurance, specialist equipment, continuing professional development and certain practice costs, provided they are wholly and exclusively for the business and the claim is appropriate. Private use and mixed-purpose costs can affect what is allowable. Because expense treatment can vary, it is best to keep clear records and discuss specific costs with an accountant.
Yes, payroll support for dental practices can include processing employee pay, PAYE, pension administration where relevant, and maintaining payroll records for staff such as dental nurses, receptionists, hygienists and associates paid through the practice. Payroll requirements can differ depending on how the practice is structured and who is being paid. We can help organise the information and keep payroll records in order.
VAT registration depends on taxable turnover and the specific services provided. Some dental services may be exempt, while others, such as certain cosmetic treatments or product sales, may be treated differently. Mixed supplies can make the position more complex. If you are unsure, a VAT review can help clarify whether registration is required and how VAT may apply to your practice.
To get started, it helps to have details of your business structure, income sources, previous accounts or tax returns, bookkeeping records, payroll information, VAT records where applicable, and any relevant correspondence from HMRC. If you are an associate dentist, information about your contract, expenses and other income is also useful. The exact information needed can vary depending on whether you are self-employed, a partner, a limited company director or a practice owner.
In many cases, yes. Switching accountants usually involves providing authorisation for your new accountant to contact the previous firm and obtain professional clearance. It can help to have recent accounts, tax returns and bookkeeping records available. The process can be managed smoothly, but the steps and timing may depend on your current filing position and the records held by your existing accountant.
Yes, we can support dental practices that operate as limited companies or partnerships. This may include annual accounts, Corporation Tax, partnership tax returns, payroll, VAT and tax planning. The accounting and tax rules can differ depending on the structure, and responsibilities such as filing deadlines and profit allocation can vary. We can help you understand the requirements that apply to your practice.
