It depends on your circumstances. A doctor whose entire income is taxed through PAYE and who has no private income, expenses to claim or complex pension position may manage without one. But once you have locum income, private fees, consultancy work, a practice partnership, a limited company or multiple income sources, the reporting becomes less straightforward and the scope for error increases. Many doctors also want reassurance that allowable expenses, such as medical indemnity and professional subscriptions, are being claimed correctly.
Not every doctor does. If all your income is taxed through PAYE and there is nothing else to report, a return may not be required. However, Self Assessment is generally needed where you have self-employed income from locum or private work, untaxed income, higher-rate tax charges, or income from a partnership or company. The position can change from year to year, so it is worth reviewing rather than assuming it stays the same.
NHS salary and pensionable pay is normally taxed through PAYE, so tax is deducted as you are paid. Private fees, locum work and consultancy income are usually self-employed income, meaning tax is not deducted at source and you are responsible for reporting it and paying the tax due. Where you have both, they come together on your tax return, and the interaction between the two can affect the overall liability.
Common claims include medical indemnity insurance, GMC and specialist register fees, professional body subscriptions, qualifying training and professional development costs, specialist equipment, and business travel or mileage. Whether an expense is allowable depends on whether it is incurred wholly and exclusively for your work, and employed and self-employed expenses follow different rules. Because of that, it is worth reviewing your costs with an accountant rather than assuming a claim is automatically valid.
Sometimes, but not always. A limited company can suit doctors with substantial self-employed profits or those planning to retain earnings in the business, and it brings its own obligations such as statutory accounts, Corporation Tax and payroll for directors. For others, working as a sole trader or through a partnership remains simpler and equally appropriate. The right answer depends on your income levels, how you work and your personal circumstances, so it is worth discussing before making changes.
Yes. Partnership work involves profit shares, drawings, capital accounts and accounts preparation that sit alongside each partner's personal tax return. We can handle the partnership accounts and tax return as well as the individual partners' Self Assessment, so the figures are consistent and each partner understands their own position. How that is structured will depend on the partnership agreement and the way the practice operates.
Yes. Accounting support can be delivered remotely, with documents and records shared electronically and meetings held by phone or video where that suits you better. Many doctors prefer this because it fits around clinical commitments. The important thing is that Secure handling of your information and clear communication are maintained, whether we are working with you remotely or face to face.
It is usually straightforward. We would ask for your details, contact your existing accountant to request professional clearance and the relevant records, and review your current position before taking over. Most of the administration sits with us rather than you. If you are switching partway through a tax year, we will make sure deadlines are not missed during the transition.
