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![]()

Our Pharmacist Accountants in Radlett cover the core accounting and tax work most pharmacists need, including annual accounts, Self Assessment tax returns, bookkeeping, payroll, Corporation Tax where relevant, tax planning and management accounts. We also provide VAT support where it applies to your circumstances and keep your financial records organised throughout the year. The exact scope depends on whether you are a locum, a self-employed pharmacist, a partner or a limited company running a pharmacy, and we agree the right level of support with you before anything begins.
We work with community pharmacists, locum pharmacists, self-employed pharmacists, pharmacy owners, independent pharmacies, pharmacy partnerships and other pharmacy businesses. If your income comes from a mix of NHS contracts, private prescriptions, retail sales or locum shifts, the accounting and record keeping needed to keep everything accurate can be complex, and that is exactly where we help. Whether you work alone or employ a team, our support is built around the way pharmacy work actually operates.
Pharmacy income usually arrives from several directions, and each stream needs to be recorded clearly so your accounts and tax returns are accurate. We help you separate NHS payments, private prescription income, retail sales and locum earnings in your records, so you can see what is coming in and where it comes from. How each element is treated for tax purposes depends on your individual circumstances and the structure of your business, and we will explain that clearly once we understand your position.
In most cases, self-employed income such as locum work needs to be reported through Self Assessment, but the position depends on your individual circumstances, including how much you earn and whether you also have employment income. We prepare and submit Self Assessment returns for pharmacists, making sure income and allowable expenses are recorded correctly and that relevant deadlines are met. We also help you keep the records you need during the year, so the return itself is straightforward rather than a last-minute scramble.
Yes. Pharmacists typically incur costs such as General Pharmaceutical Council registration fees, professional indemnity insurance, professional memberships and travel between sites, and these need to be recorded properly in your accounts. Whether a particular expense is allowable for tax depends on your individual circumstances and why the cost was incurred, so we review your expenses with you and explain how each item is treated. Keeping evidence and records organised makes this far easier at the end of the year.
We do. Our bookkeeping support keeps your income and costs recorded accurately and up to date, which makes year-end accounts and tax returns much smoother. For pharmacy businesses with employees, we can also run payroll, dealing with pay, deductions and the related reporting obligations so nothing is missed. If you have fallen behind with your records, we can help you get things back in order and then keep them that way going forward.
VAT registration depends on your turnover and the specific circumstances of your business, and the way VAT applies can differ between income streams and cost types. We monitor your position as part of our ongoing support and will tell you when registration may become relevant, along with what it would mean for your pricing, records and reporting. Because treatment varies from one business to another, we look at your individual situation rather than applying a general rule.
We can talk you through the common structures for pharmacy work, including sole trader, partnership and limited company, and explain how each affects your tax position, record keeping and paperwork. Which one suits you depends on your individual circumstances, your income levels and your plans for the business. Switching to us is generally straightforward: we contact your existing accountant where needed, arrange the handover of your records and make sure nothing is missed. To begin, simply get in touch and we will talk through your requirements.
