I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.Posted on Google![]()

I had a positive experience with Accotax. The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.Posted on Google![]()

We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.Posted on Google![]()

I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.Posted on Google![]()

Not every doctor does, but many benefit from one. If your only income is a single salary taxed through PAYE and you have no significant additional income, expenses or investments, your affairs may be fairly simple. The picture changes once you take on locum shifts, private practice fees, consultancy work, medico-legal income, a partnership role or company directorship, or once you want to make sure you are claiming the professional expenses you are entitled to. At that point, specialist accounting support can help you keep accurate records, file correctly and understand what you will owe.
Common claims include medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college subscriptions, professional body fees, specialist equipment and, in certain circumstances, training and study costs that maintain or update skills in your existing specialty. Travel and mileage may also be claimable where the journey is undertaken in the course of your work rather than being ordinary commuting. The rules are specific, and whether a particular cost qualifies depends on your employment status, contract and the nature of the expense, so each claim should be considered on its own facts rather than assumed.
Salaried NHS income is normally taxed through PAYE, while locum payments you receive directly, rather than through payroll, usually need to be reported through Self Assessment. If you invoice agencies or practices as a sole trader, partnership or limited company, the reporting obligations and the way tax is calculated can differ again. Because locum work is often irregular, it can help to keep income and expenses recorded as you go, and to plan for tax payments rather than waiting until the return is due.
Yes. Combining NHS salary with private practice, consultancy or medico-legal income is common, and it usually means a Self Assessment return is required. We bring the different income streams together, review what expenses relate to each, and consider how pension contributions and payments on account may affect your overall position. The exact treatment depends on how your private work is structured, your contracts and whether you operate as an individual or through a company.
There is no single answer that suits every doctor. Sole trader or partnership arrangements tend to be simpler administratively, while a limited company can bring different tax and reporting obligations, including annual accounts, Corporation Tax and possible payroll and VAT registration. The right structure depends on your level of income, how many contracts you hold, whether IR35 or off-payroll rules could apply, and your longer-term plans. We can talk through the practical implications so you can choose with a clear understanding of the trade-offs.
Medical indemnity cover, GMC registration and subscriptions to professional bodies or royal colleges are typical costs for working doctors and are frequently claimed as allowable expenses where they relate to your professional role. The precise treatment can vary depending on whether the cost is met by you personally, reimbursed by an employer, or paid through a practice or company, so we check how each payment has been made before including it in your return.
Yes. Much of the work involved in preparing accounts and tax returns can be handled remotely, using secure document sharing and cloud-based bookkeeping, which tends to suit doctors working unpredictable rotas. We can also arrange to meet in person where that is more practical for you. What matters is that you have a clear route to ask questions, share records and understand your position.
Changing accountants is usually straightforward. We can liaise with your existing accountant to obtain the information needed, including professional clearance where required, and then review your records and current position before taking over filings. It helps to have your most recent accounts, tax return, HMRC correspondence and bookkeeping records to hand, but if anything is missing we can work through it with you.
Start by getting in touch and describing your situation, including your employment arrangements, any private, locum or consultancy income, and your current accounting or filing obligations. From there, we can review what is required, discuss whether Self Assessment, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT or business structure advice is relevant, and agree how the ongoing support will work. If you have a deadline approaching, mention it early so it can be prioritised.
