Many do, though it depends on your circumstances. If you are employed on a straightforward salary with no additional income, your tax may be handled entirely through PAYE. However, once you have private fees, locum income, consultancy earnings, a partnership share, company directorship, or significant professional expenses, an accountant can help ensure everything is reported correctly, relevant expenses are claimed, and deadlines are met. Doctors with more complex income profiles often find the support worthwhile simply for the certainty it brings.
Not always, but often yes. A Self Assessment return is generally required if you have untaxed income such as private medical fees or locum earnings, if you are a company director, if you have income from a partnership, or if HMRC has asked you to file. High earners with certain tax charges may also need to file. Because the rules depend on your total income and its sources, it is worth checking your position rather than assuming PAYE covers everything.
Your NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, with tax deducted at source. Private medical income is typically self-employed income, reported on a Self Assessment return, and taxed after allowable expenses are deducted. If you have both, they are combined for tax purposes, which can mean the private income is taxed at a higher rate than you might expect and may create payments on account for the following year. Your exact position depends on your total income and circumstances.
Potentially allowable costs often include medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college subscriptions, professional memberships, relevant training and continuing professional development, specialist equipment, and business mileage for travel between sites. What you can claim depends on whether the cost relates to employed or self-employed work and whether it is wholly and exclusively for the purposes of that work. Keeping receipts and mileage records throughout the year makes the claims far easier to support.
There is no single answer — it depends on your level of income, how long you expect to work as a locum, your pension position, and your personal financial aims. Working through a limited company can suit some doctors, while sole trader status may be simpler and just as tax effective for others. There are compliance obligations attached to a company, including annual accounts, Corporation Tax and payroll requirements. We can talk through the practical differences and help you decide what fits your situation.
Yes. Where they apply to your circumstances, we can support with VAT registration and returns, payroll for you and any employees or practice staff, bookkeeping, annual accounts and Corporation Tax. Many doctors need a combination of these, particularly those running a private practice or operating through a company. Whether VAT applies depends on your turnover and the nature of your services, so we would review that with you.
Yes. Accounting work is well suited to remote arrangements, with documents shared securely and meetings held by phone or video where that suits you better than travelling. If you already have an accountant, we can liaise with them to obtain your records and handle the professional clearance process so the transition is as smooth as possible. It is helpful to arrange this outside a busy filing period where you can.
The first step is simply to get in touch and tell us how you work — your contracts, income sources, any private or locum earnings, and whether you operate as a sole trader, partner or through a company. From there we can review your current position and outline what accounting and tax support would be appropriate. If you are approaching a deadline, let us know early so we can prioritise accordingly.
