They can help with the accounting, tax and compliance work that applies to dentists, including Self Assessment, bookkeeping, annual accounts, tax returns, payroll and VAT support where relevant. The right level of support depends on whether you are an associate, principal, practice owner, partner or limited company director. The aim is to keep your financial records organised and help you understand your obligations.
Yes, support can be provided for self-employed dentists and associate dentists who need help with Self Assessment, income and expense records, and tax returns. Associate arrangements can involve multiple income sources and expenses such as indemnity cover, professional subscriptions and travel between practices. Because everyone's circumstances differ, the work is tailored to your actual arrangement rather than a standard template.
NHS and private dental income can need to be recorded separately or in a way that gives a clear view of each income stream. The accounting and tax treatment can depend on whether you are employed, self-employed, in a partnership or operating through a limited company. Keeping accurate records throughout the year makes it easier to prepare accounts and returns correctly.
Payroll support can cover practice staff such as nurses, hygienists, reception teams and other employees, as well as payments to associates where relevant. The exact requirements depend on who is being paid, their employment status and how the practice is structured. Payroll records also need to align with the wider bookkeeping and accounts.
Dentists may be able to claim for expenses that are wholly and exclusively related to their work, such as professional subscriptions, indemnity insurance and certain equipment costs. The rules can be detailed and can vary depending on whether you are employed, self-employed or operating through a company. It is important to keep evidence and take advice on your specific circumstances.
Whether a dental practice needs to register for VAT depends on the services provided, the level of taxable supplies and the applicable VAT rules. Some dental services may be exempt, while others may be taxable, so the position is not the same for every practice. A review of your activities can help clarify whether registration or VAT accounting is required.
Accounting support can be useful when buying or selling a dental practice, as the transaction may involve tax, structure and valuation considerations. The right approach depends on whether you are buying shares, assets or a partnership interest, and on how the practice is owned. Early advice can help you understand the financial and tax issues before you proceed.
It helps to have details of your income sources, business structure, expenses, bank statements, loan or finance agreements, payroll information and any previous accounts or tax returns. If you are an associate dentist, details of sessions, practices and payments received are also useful. Having this information available can make the initial review smoother and more accurate.
