Running a veterinary practice means dealing with much more than patient care. The financial side can become complicated as your practice grows. This is especially true if you have to deal with suppliers, staff, equipment and changing regulations.
Also, you have to deal with high staff turnover and heavily fluctuating pharmaceutical costs. If you add in staffing costs across vets, nurses and support staff, the financial side of running a practice becomes a job in itself. As expert accountants for vet surgeries, we help you manage all these challenges that are often faced by veterinary practices:
Complex VAT treatment on different services
Managing payroll across multiple staff roles
Keeping accurate stock records for medication and supplies
Staying compliant with changing tax rules
Managing complicated shift patterns and overtime pay for clinical staff.
Dealing with late payments from client insurance claims and split bills.
Calculating accurate accounting depreciation and capital allowances on medical equipment.

Standard medical treatments and prescriptions are generally standard-rated, while certain animal feed, microchipping services, or specific farm animal treatments can have completely different tax rules. Missing these differences can lead to heavy HMRC penalties. As expert accountants for vet surgeries, we accurately categorise your sales to keep you fully compliant and avoid costly tax mistakes.
