Not every self-employed dentist needs an accountant, but professional support can be useful if you have multiple income sources, want help with Self Assessment, or need to track expenses and payments accurately. As a self-employed dentist, you may need to report income and allowable expenses through Self Assessment, and the records you keep can affect how straightforward that process is. An accountant can help you understand what information to retain, how to organise it and when specialist advice may be needed.
Associate dentists often work under arrangements that can involve self-employment, employed status or a mix of both, so the accounting treatment is not identical for everyone. If you are self-employed as an associate, you may need to keep records of fees, expenses and any other income, and report the relevant figures through Self Assessment. An accountant can help review your contract and working arrangements, explain what may be claimable and help you keep your records in order.
Yes, we can help dentists who receive NHS income, private income or a combination of both. The records and reporting requirements can vary depending on how those income streams are structured and which entity receives them. We can help you keep clear records, understand how the income should be reflected in your books and accounts, and ensure the information is organised for the relevant tax returns or practice accounts.
Dental practice owners may need support with annual accounts, Corporation Tax or partnership tax returns, payroll, VAT, bookkeeping and tax planning, depending on the structure of the practice. If you run a limited company, there can also be company secretarial and director reporting considerations that need attention. We can help coordinate the accounting work for the practice while keeping your personal tax position in mind where relevant.
The expenses a dentist can claim depend on their employment status, business structure and the reason for the cost. Commonly reviewed items can include professional subscriptions, indemnity cover, registration fees, continuing professional development, equipment and certain travel or practice costs. Some costs may be allowable in full, some may be restricted and others may not be claimable at all, so it is important to check the position rather than assume a cost is deductible.
Some dental practices need payroll support for receptionists, dental nurses, hygienists, associates or other team members, while others may have simpler staffing arrangements. VAT can also be relevant depending on the practice's taxable turnover, the services provided and the structure of the business. We can help assess whether payroll or VAT support is applicable and assist with the related records and returns where required.
Yes, we can help dentists who are considering a change of accountant. The process usually involves reviewing your current position, obtaining the information needed from your existing adviser and making sure your records are up to date. We can explain what is involved and help manage the transition so that your bookkeeping, accounts or tax return work continues with as little disruption as possible.
The information required will depend on your circumstances, but it may include details of your income sources, business structure, previous accounts or tax returns, bookkeeping records, payroll information and any relevant expense records. If you are a practice owner, you may also need to provide information about staff, VAT, equipment and practice finances. We can guide you through what is relevant to your situation before any work begins.
