Plenty of doctors manage straightforward PAYE employment without professional help. The picture changes once there is anything beyond a single salary — private medical income, locum fees, consultancy work, a partnership share or a limited company. At that point, Self Assessment, expense claims, record keeping and structuring decisions all come into play, and mistakes can be costly to unwind. A specialist accountant helps make sure everything is reported correctly and that you are not paying more tax than you need to.
Your NHS salary is taxed through PAYE, but it still needs to be included on your Self Assessment return if you have other income that triggers a filing requirement, such as private practice or locum earnings. All sources are reported together, and the tax already deducted through PAYE is credited against your overall liability. Because the interaction between salary, self-employed profits and any tax already paid can affect the final calculation, it is worth having the return prepared carefully rather than estimating.
Allowable expenses depend on your circumstances, but locum doctors commonly look at costs such as medical indemnity cover, professional body subscriptions, training and continuing professional development, specialist equipment, stationery and administrative support, and travel to temporary placements where the rules permit. The key test is whether a cost is incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of your work, and whether you can evidence it. Regular commuting to a permanent workplace is generally treated differently from travel between temporary sites, so it is worth checking before you claim.
In most cases, medical indemnity insurance and subscriptions to professional bodies relevant to your work are treated as allowable expenses, which can reduce your taxable profits if you are self-employed or reduce your taxable income where relief is available for employment expenses. The exact treatment depends on your employment status and how the cost relates to your work, and relief is not automatic in every situation, so it should be reviewed against your own position rather than assumed.
There is no single right answer. A limited company can suit some doctors because profits are taxed differently, while a partnership may be more appropriate where two or more doctors share premises, costs and profits. Sole trader status remains workable for smaller or part-time private work. The decision depends on income levels, how profits are drawn, risk exposure, administrative capacity and your longer-term plans, and it is worth reviewing as your practice grows rather than setting it once and forgetting it.
As a general guide, keep payslips and P60s for employed income, invoices or receipts for private and locum work, bank and credit card statements for the business side of your affairs, receipts for expenses you intend to claim, mileage records for business journeys, and pension statements. Pension contributions, whether through NHS arrangements or private schemes, can affect your tax position, so keeping that paperwork together is worthwhile. Digital record keeping makes this far easier, and good records reduce the risk of queries later.
Yes — accounting support does not require you to be in the same room. Documents can be shared securely, questions handled by email, phone or video call, and records maintained digitally. If you are moving from another accountant, we can help with the handover, including requesting your professional clearance and obtaining the information needed to take over your records and filings. There is usually nothing complicated about the switch, and we will explain what happens at each stage.
