Not every doctor does, but many benefit from one. If you are a salaried doctor with straightforward PAYE income and no additional earnings, your tax position may be simple enough to manage yourself. Once you add private fees, locum shifts, consultancy income, a partnership share or company directorship, the reporting becomes more involved, and an accountant can help ensure income from every source is captured correctly and that allowable expenses are not overlooked. It also helps to have someone checking your position as your career and income mix change.
NHS employment income is usually taxed through PAYE, while private medical fees, locum earnings and consultancy income often need to be reported through Self Assessment. Where both apply, we bring the figures together so the return reflects your total income for the year and the tax already paid through PAYE is properly accounted for. The exact treatment depends on whether the private work is carried out as an individual, through a partnership or through a limited company, so we review the structure alongside the numbers.
It depends on your circumstances, but costs commonly considered include medical indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, required professional development and training, specialist equipment, and business travel or mileage. The underlying test is normally whether a cost was incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of your work, and some items that feel work-related do not meet that test. We review your spending and identify what is legitimately claimable rather than applying a blanket list.
Locum work usually means income from multiple sources, so keeping a clear record of each engagement matters. That typically means invoices or payment statements, dates and locations worked, travel and mileage, indemnity cover, and any costs you incur directly to carry out the work. Getting this right as you go makes your tax return far easier to prepare and gives you a defensible position if HMRC asks questions later. We can also help you work out whether your current structure still suits a locum pattern of work.
Sometimes it is worth considering and sometimes it is not, and the answer depends on your level of private or consultancy income, how you are engaged, your pension position and your wider financial plans. A limited company brings Corporation Tax, statutory accounts, payroll and dividend considerations, along with additional administration. We look at your circumstances in the round and explain the practical implications of each option so you can decide with a clear picture rather than a general rule of thumb.
Yes. NHS pension contributions, private pension arrangements and changes in income from year to year can affect your tax position and your planning, and they are worth considering as part of your annual review rather than in isolation. We look at how your pension arrangements interact with your overall income and flag areas that may warrant further attention. Where a question goes beyond tax, we will say so clearly rather than offer advice outside our remit.
Yes. Much of the accounting process can be handled remotely, with documents shared securely and conversations held by phone or video call, which suits doctors working shifts or moving between sites. If you prefer to meet in person, that can be arranged. What matters most is that you have a clear route to get information to us and to ask questions when they arise.
It is usually more straightforward than doctors expect. We ask for some basic information about your income sources and current arrangements, then contact your existing accountant to request the professional clearance and handover of records. From there we review your position, confirm what needs to be filed and when, and set out how the ongoing service will work. If a filing date is approaching, tell us early so the transition can be planned around it.
