Not every doctor needs specialist support, but many benefit from it. If your income comes solely from a salaried NHS post and your affairs are straightforward, a general accountant may be sufficient. Once you add private fees, locum shifts, consultancy income, a partnership or a limited company, the reporting becomes more complex and the expense rules more nuanced. An accountant used to medical income will typically spot issues such as incorrect expense claims, missed allowable costs or a structure that no longer fits your working pattern.
Your NHS salary is normally taxed through PAYE, and private or locum income is usually reported through Self Assessment alongside it. Both need to be reflected accurately on your return, and the interaction between PAYE and tax already deducted can affect what you owe or what is repayable. If you also have pension income, consultancy fees or property income, the calculation becomes more involved, so keeping clear records throughout the year makes the return far more straightforward.
Commonly claimed items include medical indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, registration fees, professional development and training costs, specialist equipment, and business travel or mileage. What you can claim depends on whether you are employed, self-employed, or working through a company, and on whether the cost is wholly and exclusively for your work. It is worth reviewing expenses annually, because claiming the wrong items can create problems just as easily as missing legitimate ones.
Both arrangements exist among locum doctors and neither is automatically better. Sole trader status is simpler, with fewer filing obligations, whereas a limited company can suit doctors with higher earnings or a longer-term locum career, though it brings payroll, Corporation Tax, accounts filing and potential VAT considerations. Agency arrangements, IR35-type rules and your overall income mix all affect the answer, so it is worth discussing your specific circumstances before deciding.
Yes. Doctors running a private practice, clinic or consultancy often need bookkeeping to keep fee income and expenses organised, and VAT may apply depending on the services provided and total turnover. Where you employ practice staff, payroll and pension reporting may also be required. We can set up a record keeping approach that fits around clinic hours so that information is captured as it happens rather than reconstructed later.
Pension contributions, annual allowance matters and the interaction between NHS pension income and private or locum earnings can all influence your tax position. These areas are technical and change over time, so rather than relying on general rules of thumb, it is sensible to review your own figures with an accountant who can see your full income picture and flag where planning may be worthwhile.
Absolutely. Most accounting work can be handled remotely using secure document sharing, email and video calls, which suits doctors whose clinical schedules make daytime appointments difficult. What matters most is that your accountant understands your income sources and can respond when questions arise, whether that communication happens in person or online.
Changing accountants is usually more straightforward than doctors expect. We would typically ask for details of your current arrangements, review your latest accounts and tax returns, and contact your existing accountant for the relevant records with your authorisation. Once we have a clear picture of your income sources, expenses and filing obligations, we can take over the compliance work and discuss any planning points arising from the review.
