Many doctors manage straightforward tax affairs without help, particularly early in a salaried career where PAYE already accounts for most of the tax due. The picture changes when you take on private work, locum shifts, consultancy or medico-legal income, join or leave a partnership, set up a company, or have higher earnings where pension considerations come into play. At that point, an accountant's value is less about filling in a form and more about making sure income is reported correctly, expenses are claimed on a defensible basis and planning decisions are made before rather than after a tax year closes.
NHS employment income usually has tax deducted through PAYE, but you may still need to report it on a Self Assessment tax return, particularly if you have other income or higher earnings. Private medical fees, locum earnings and consultancy income are generally reported as self-employed income, which means recording income and expenses properly and potentially making payments on account. Where you have both, the two need to be brought together accurately, and for doctors resident in Scotland the income tax bands applied to earned income can differ from those elsewhere in the UK.
Common claims include medical indemnity or defence union subscriptions, professional body subscriptions, and training or professional development that maintains or updates skills you already use in your work. Equipment, professional journals, and travel or mileage to temporary or locum assignments may also be claimable depending on your circumstances. What is allowable can depend on whether an expense is incurred wholly and exclusively for your work, whether you are employed or self-employed, and how it is used, so it is worth checking the position rather than assuming.
Locum work is generally treated as self-employment, which means registering with HMRC and filing a Self Assessment tax return that reports your income and allowable expenses. Because locum earnings often vary significantly from month to month, it is sensible to keep records current and to plan for tax payments on account rather than treating each payment received as fully yours. If you combine locum shifts with a salaried post, both income streams need to be reflected in the same return.
It depends. Operating through a company can be appropriate for some private practitioners, consultants and doctors with significant non-NHS income, but it brings additional obligations such as statutory accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and possibly VAT, along with considerations around dividend income and pensions. It is not automatically more tax-efficient, and the right structure depends on your income levels, how you work and your longer-term plans. This is a decision worth modelling properly before making a change.
Yes. Doctors who are partners in a GP practice, or who run a practice or clinic with others, typically need partnership accounts, a partnership tax return and individual returns reflecting each partner's share of profit. Clear reporting on shared income, expenses and drawings helps partners understand the practice's position and deal with matters such as profit allocation without last-minute scrambling at the filing deadline.
Yes. Accounting work is well suited to being handled remotely, with documents and records shared securely and meetings held by phone or video at times that fit around clinics and rotas. If you prefer to meet in person, that can be arranged too. What matters most is that your records reach us in a usable form and that you know which deadlines apply to you.
Less than most people expect. Once you decide to move, we typically ask for your authorisation to contact your current accountant, then request the relevant information such as prior returns, accounts and HMRC correspondence from them on your behalf. From there we review your position, confirm what needs filing and when, and take over the ongoing work. If a deadline is approaching, telling us early gives more time to make the transition smooth.
