The work generally covers preparing and filing your Self Assessment tax return or company accounts, maintaining bookkeeping records, calculating and reporting tax due, and helping you plan ahead on matters such as profit extraction, equipment purchases or a change in structure. For practice owners, it usually extends to payroll for staff, VAT support where applicable, and accounting that separates NHS income from private fees so the figures are meaningful. The exact scope depends on whether you are self-employed, a partner or running a limited company.
It can, mainly because you may be receiving self-employment income from several sources, each with its own expenses such as lab fees, materials, indemnity cover and associate percentages. Those need to be recorded accurately and reported correctly, and where you also hold an employed role, the interaction between PAYE and Self Assessment needs care. Keeping clean records through the year makes the return far more straightforward.
Both are business income where you are carrying on a trade, but they often behave very differently in practice. NHS contract payments may arrive on a schedule that does not match the treatment period, and there may be clawback or reconciliation adjustments, whereas private fees tend to be received directly from patients. Recording these streams separately helps you understand profitability and makes the accounts and tax return more accurate.
It depends on your turnover and the nature of the services you provide, because some dental and medical services can be exempt while others are standard rated. Where a practice supplies a mix of NHS work, private treatment and items such as cosmetic procedures or retail products, the VAT position can become more involved. If your turnover approaches or exceeds the registration threshold, it is worth reviewing the position before you have to act.
There is no single answer, because the right structure depends on your profits, how many principals or partners are involved, whether you want to retain money in the business, and your personal circumstances. A limited company can suit some practice owners while a partnership or sole trader arrangement works better for others. It is worth reviewing periodically, particularly when profits change or when partners join or leave.
Yes. Practice payroll typically involves running weekly or monthly payroll, calculating PAYE and National Insurance, handling pension obligations where they apply, and issuing payslips and year-end submissions. Getting this right matters both for your staff and for your own records, and it is usually simpler to have it handled alongside the rest of your practice accounting.
For most dentists, we would ask for details of your income sources, your business structure, any existing accounts or tax returns, and access to your bookkeeping or bank records. Practice owners may also need to provide payroll information, details of equipment purchases and lease or premises costs. If your records are incomplete, that is not a barrier, as part of the initial work can involve getting them into order.
Switching is usually more straightforward than people expect. We would normally ask for your authorisation to contact your existing accountant, obtain the relevant records and filing history, and confirm the position with HMRC. Once that is in place, we can pick up the ongoing work and make sure nothing is missed in the transition.
