Not every doctor is legally required to file a tax return, but many are, particularly if you receive locum income, private fees, consultancy or medico-legal earnings, or partnership profits. Even where your income is taxed through PAYE, an accountant can help confirm that your tax code, expense claims and pension position are correct. Whether you need ongoing support or a one-off review depends on your employment status, income sources and business structure.
Yes. Where you have NHS employment income alongside private medical income, locum fees or consultancy earnings, the full position usually needs to be reported through Self Assessment. That means bringing together your salary and tax already deducted with income that has been paid without tax taken off, then calculating what remains due. It relies on complete records, so keeping private income statements and receipts separate from your payslips makes the process far smoother.
Commonly claimed costs include medical indemnity or defence subscriptions, General Medical Council and royal college fees, specialist society memberships, professional journals, CPD and training that maintains your existing skills, and specialist equipment. Travel and mileage may also be claimable in certain circumstances. What is allowable depends on whether the cost relates to employed or self-employed work and whether it was incurred wholly and exclusively for that work, so each item is reviewed on its own merits.
Locum work often brings income that has not had tax deducted, or has been taxed under arrangements that differ from a standard payroll position. That income normally needs to be reported through Self Assessment, and National Insurance may also be due depending on how the engagements are structured. If you work through an intermediary, off-payroll working rules may be relevant. Keeping timesheets, payment summaries and a record of travel between sites makes the year-end far easier to manage.
There is no single answer, because the right structure depends on your income levels, whether you work alone or with other doctors, how you wish to draw income, and your pension and tax planning aims. A GP partnership is usually operated as a partnership, while some doctors providing private services or consultancy consider a limited company, subject to off-payroll working rules and the extra compliance involved. We can review your circumstances and explain the practical differences before you commit to a change.
VAT depends on the value of your taxable turnover and the nature of the services you provide. Many healthcare services supplied by registered health professionals are exempt, but not everything a doctor does falls into that category, and private practice or clinic income can raise different questions. If VAT applies to any part of your work, we can help you register, keep suitable records and complete returns correctly.
Yes. NHS Pension Scheme contributions and records, private pension saving, and the interaction between pension contributions and your overall tax position are all areas we can review as part of your wider accounting support. These matters often benefit from being looked at alongside your income sources rather than in isolation, and the right approach varies from doctor to doctor.
Switching is generally straightforward. We contact your existing accountant for professional clearance and the records we need, then confirm what information you should provide, such as previous returns, accounts and bookkeeping records. Timing matters if a filing deadline is approaching, so it helps to plan the handover rather than leave it late. Records can be shared securely and meetings held by phone or video, so working with us does not depend on being nearby.
