It depends on your circumstances. If you are employed on a straightforward salary with no other income and no significant expenses, your tax position may well be handled through PAYE. The picture changes as soon as you have private fees, locum income, consultancy earnings, a partnership profit share, a limited company or higher pension contributions. At that point, an accountant can help ensure your returns are accurate, your allowable expenses are properly claimed and your tax planning reflects your actual income mix. Many doctors also value the reassurance of having deadlines and filings managed on their behalf.
Your NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, while private fees, locum work and consultancy income are typically reported through Self Assessment, either as self-employment or as other taxable income depending on how you are engaged. Both sources need to be included on the same return. Payments already made through PAYE are credited against your overall liability, and any balance is settled through the return, often alongside payments on account. Getting the classification and expense claims right for each stream is where an accountant adds most value.
Common claims include medical indemnity and defence union subscriptions, professional body and registration fees required for your role, mandatory training and continuing professional development, specialist equipment or clothing used only for work, professional journals, and business mileage between sites. Whether a particular cost is allowable depends on your employment status and whether it was incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of your work. Employment expenses are treated differently from self-employment expenses, so it is worth checking before you claim.
Medical indemnity is a professional cost most doctors have to meet, and it is often an allowable expense — but the correct treatment depends on whether you are employed, self-employed, in a partnership or operating through a limited company, and on whether the policy covers only your professional work. It is one of the areas we review as standard when preparing a return, because it can easily be overlooked or incorrectly allocated between income streams.
Locum work is often treated as self-employment, but VAT registration depends on your turnover and the nature of the services you provide, not simply on your job title. Medical services are treated specifically in VAT law, and the position can differ between locum work, consultancy and other activities. If your turnover is approaching the registration threshold, or you provide a mix of medical and non-medical services, it is worth reviewing before HMRC raises the question.
It can be worth considering, but it is not automatically the better option. Incorporation brings Corporation Tax, company accounts, payroll obligations and additional filing requirements, and the tax outcome depends on how much profit you make, how you take money out, your pension position and your other income. For some doctors it creates flexibility and planning opportunities; for others the extra administration outweighs the benefit. We look at your specific numbers before recommending anything.
Yes. Modern accounting technology means documents, records and correspondence can be shared securely online, and meetings can take place by video or phone. Many doctors find this fits better around clinical rotas than travelling to an office appointment. What matters is that your records reach us in good time and that you can ask questions when you need to — the working relationship does not depend on geography.
It is usually more straightforward than people expect. Once you decide to move, we can contact your existing accountant for the professional clearance and handover information, then review your previous returns and records to confirm everything is up to date. It helps to have your last set of accounts, tax returns, and details of any outstanding filings to hand. We will tell you exactly what is needed and manage the process so you do not have to chase anyone.
