If you are a self-employed dentist, you are likely to need to complete a Self Assessment tax return each year. Accountants for dentists in Brenchley can help you keep records of your income and expenses, calculate your taxable profit, and submit your return accurately. They can also advise on allowable professional expenses, such as indemnity cover, professional subscriptions, and equipment costs, depending on your circumstances, and help you plan for tax payments.
Associate dentists often work under arrangements that involve paying a share of fees to a practice principal or receiving a set amount per session. This can create complex income and expense records, especially where NHS and private work are mixed. An accountant familiar with associate arrangements can help you understand what counts as allowable expenses, how to report your income, and whether you need to register for VAT if your turnover reaches the relevant threshold.
Practice ownership brings additional accounting responsibilities, such as payroll for staff, practice accounts, VAT returns where applicable, and potentially Corporation Tax if you operate through a limited company. A specialist accountant can help you manage these requirements, keep accurate records, and understand how your practice finances interact with your personal tax position. The level of support needed will depend on your practice structure and how it is run.
NHS and private dental income can be recorded and treated differently for accounting and tax purposes. We help you keep clear records of each income stream, which supports accurate bookkeeping, tax returns, and business planning. Where you receive income through a practice or a limited company, we can also help ensure it is reported correctly and that any expenses relating to each income source are accounted for appropriately.
Yes. Self Assessment is a common requirement for self-employed dentists, associates, and partners. We can prepare and submit your tax return, calculate any tax due, and help you understand payments on account. We also review your income and expenses to identify relevant reliefs or allowances that may apply to your situation, though the exact treatment will depend on your individual circumstances.
Switching accountants can be straightforward with the right approach. You will typically need to provide details of your current accountant, your business structure, and your recent financial records. We can help manage the transition, obtain professional clearance where required, and ensure your records are brought up to date. It is a good opportunity to review whether your current accounting setup still suits your dental work.
To get started, we usually need information about your working arrangement, income sources, and business structure, along with records such as bank statements, invoices, receipts, payroll details, and previous tax returns or accounts. If you are a practice owner, details of staff payroll, VAT returns, and practice expenses may also be relevant. We will confirm exactly what is needed based on your circumstances.
