Not every doctor does, but many benefit from one. A doctor with a single salaried NHS post and no other income may manage a straightforward return themselves. The picture changes once private fees, locum sessions, consultancy income, medico-legal work, partnerships or company structures come into play, because there are more sources to reconcile, more expense rules to apply and more room for error. An accountant helps ensure everything is reported correctly, expenses are treated properly and deadlines are met.
Where a doctor has private practice fees, locum earnings, consultancy income or other untaxed income, those amounts generally need to be reported through Self Assessment alongside employment income. NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, but private income is not, so the return brings the two together and calculates any additional tax due. Getting the figures right depends on accurate records and a correct view of which income is employment and which is self-employment.
Commonly considered expenses include medical indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, mandatory training and professional development, specialist equipment, and business travel that is not ordinary commuting. Whether a particular cost can be claimed depends on the rules and on your circumstances — for example, whether you are employed or self-employed for that piece of work. Records matter, because a claim needs to be supported if HMRC asks questions.
Locum work usually involves several engagements across the year, each with its own income and often its own expenses, such as travel between sites, indemnity cover and equipment. Keeping a running record of sessions worked, amounts invoiced and costs incurred makes the return far simpler to prepare and reduces the risk of missing income or duplicating an expense. It also helps when assessing whether your work pattern affects pension contributions or tax payments on account.
It depends on your circumstances. A limited company can suit certain types of private practice, consultancy or media work, but it brings additional obligations including annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and company filings. Whether it is worthwhile depends on the nature of the work, income levels, how you want to be paid and your wider financial position. It is worth reviewing the options before making a change rather than assuming one structure is always better.
Possibly, depending on the services you provide and the level of your income. Not all medical services are treated the same way for VAT, and registration depends on taxable turnover and what you actually supply. We can review your activities and advise on whether registration is required, how to keep VAT records and how to report where it applies.
It is helpful. NHS pension arrangements can interact with tax through contribution relief and annual allowance considerations, and if you also have private income the overall picture can affect planning decisions. You do not need to be a pension specialist — just share the information you receive, and we can factor it into the wider tax position.
Yes. Much of the accounting process can be handled remotely, with documents shared securely and questions dealt with by phone, email or video call, which suits doctors working unpredictable hours. If you already have an accountant, switching is usually straightforward: we can contact your existing adviser for the relevant records and take over the filings that fall due after that point.
