It depends on your circumstances. A doctor whose only income is a straightforward salaried NHS post with no additional earnings may have little to report, though there are still situations where a return is required. Where things get more involved is when you have locum income, private patient fees, consultancy or medico-legal earnings, partnership profits, rental income or investments. Once your affairs involve more than one income source, allowable expenses worth claiming, or a decision about business structure, professional accounting support usually pays for itself in accuracy and peace of mind.
Both need to be reported, but the way they are treated can differ. NHS salary is normally taxed through PAYE and shown on your P60, while private fees, locum payments and consultancy income may need to be declared separately, sometimes with expenses allocated against them. The key is keeping income streams identifiable in your records so each can be reported correctly and any allowable costs are matched to the right source.
Commonly considered costs include medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college or specialist society subscriptions, professional journals, certain training and continuing professional development costs, and equipment used for your work. Travel and mileage claims depend on the nature of the journey and how you work, and home office costs need careful calculation. Whether a particular cost qualifies depends on your employment status and the reason for the expense, so it is worth reviewing your outgoings rather than assuming.
Locum income is often paid gross, which means you are responsible for reporting it and paying the tax and National Insurance due. Setting money aside as you are paid, keeping invoices and assignment records, and tracking expenses such as travel and indemnity cover makes the year-end return far easier to prepare accurately.
There is no universal answer. A limited company can suit some doctors with substantial private or consultancy income, while sole trader or partnership status may be more appropriate for others, particularly where NHS pension implications or IR35 rules are involved. The right structure depends on your income levels, how you contract with clients and your longer-term plans, which is why it is worth reviewing properly rather than copying what a colleague does.
Partnership accounting typically covers the preparation of partnership accounts, allocation of profits between partners, tracking of capital and current accounts, and the individual tax returns each partner needs to file. Clean underlying bookkeeping is essential, particularly where practice income, expenses and drawings are shared.
VAT registration depends on your turnover and the nature of your services, and the rules differ between NHS work, private practice and consultancy arrangements, while some medical services are exempt. If your private or consultancy income is growing, it is worth reviewing VAT position in advance rather than after you cross a threshold.
Yes to both, in most cases. Accounts and tax work can be handled remotely with secure sharing of documents, which suits doctors with busy or unpredictable schedules. If you wish to move from your current accountant, we can usually manage the handover by contacting them for professional clearance and any relevant records, and we will confirm what information is needed from you to get started.
