It depends on your circumstances. A doctor whose entire income is taxed through PAYE and who has nothing beyond a straightforward pension position may be able to manage without one. However, once you add locum shifts, private fees, consultancy work, a partnership share, property or investment income, or a limited company, the reporting becomes more involved. An accountant helps you capture every income source, claim the expenses you are entitled to, meet your filing obligations and plan for tax payments rather than being surprised by them.
Yes. This is one of the most common situations for doctors we speak to. NHS pay is taxed through PAYE, while private fees and similar income usually need to be reported through Self Assessment, and the two have to be brought together correctly on your return. We also look at which expenses relate to which type of income, since the rules for employed and self-employed costs are not the same.
Locum work is often treated as self-employment, which means you register with HMRC, keep records of your fees and expenses, and report the profit through Self Assessment. Some locum arrangements operate differently, for example where you are engaged through an agency on a PAYE basis. It is worth checking how each engagement is structured, because that determines how the income should be reported and what you can claim against it.
Allowable costs commonly include medical indemnity cover, professional body subscriptions, and travel between work locations. Training, equipment, professional development and use of a home office may also qualify in certain circumstances, but the rules are specific and depend on whether the cost relates to your existing work or to acquiring a new skill, and whether the income is employed or self-employed. We review your spending and confirm what is genuinely claimable so that your return is accurate.
There is no universal answer. Operating as a sole trader is simpler administratively, while a limited company can offer different tax treatment and flexibility over how you take money out, but it also brings filing obligations, payroll responsibilities and additional compliance. The right structure depends on your level of profit, your other income, your pension position and your longer-term plans. We can work through the numbers for your situation before you decide.
Many healthcare services provided by appropriately qualified professionals are exempt from VAT, but not every activity connected to a medical career falls into that category. Medico-legal work, some advisory services and certain products or supplies can be treated differently, and liability also depends on your turnover and registration status. We review what you actually provide and advise on whether registration or reporting is needed.
Yes. Much of our work with doctors is carried out remotely, using secure digital sharing of documents and online communication, which fits well around clinics, theatre lists and on-call rotas. You can provide records electronically and review your accounts and returns online, and we can arrange calls at times that suit your working pattern.
It is usually straightforward. Once you decide to move, we contact your existing accountant to request professional clearance and the handover of your records and accounts history. You do not need to manage that conversation yourself. We then review what has been filed, confirm nothing is outstanding, and set up your records in a way that works for the year ahead.
