Not every doctor does, but many benefit from one. If your only income is a straightforward salaried NHS post and your tax code is correct, your accounting needs may be minimal. However, once you take on locum shifts, private fee income, consultancy work, medico-legal reports or property or investment income, the picture becomes more complex. An accountant can help ensure everything is reported accurately, legitimate professional expenses are claimed and deadlines are met.
It depends on your circumstances rather than your job title. Doctors with untaxed income — such as private practice fees, locum earnings paid gross, consultancy income or rental income — usually need to file a return. Higher earners claiming Child Benefit, or those with significant savings or dividend income, may also be required to file. If you are unsure, we can review your income sources and confirm whether a return is needed.
Broadly, expenses must be wholly and exclusively for your work. For doctors this commonly includes medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college or specialist society subscriptions, mandatory professional training, professional journals, specialist equipment and appropriate business travel. Ordinary commuting between home and your permanent workplace is not allowable. Because the rules depend on how and where you work, it is worth checking specific items with us before claiming.
Yes. We regularly handle returns that combine NHS employment income with private fees, locum payments and consultancy earnings. The key is recording each source correctly, applying the right treatment to each and keeping documentation that supports the figures. Where private work is substantial, we can also review whether operating through a limited company or partnership might be more appropriate for your circumstances.
It depends on your level of private income, how you are engaged, your exposure to risk and your longer-term plans. Incorporation can offer certain tax and administrative advantages in some situations, but it brings additional compliance obligations such as statutory accounts, Corporation Tax returns and payroll. For many doctors the answer is not obvious, so we review the numbers and the practical implications before recommending anything.
We can support you remotely, which suits doctors with unpredictable rotas and limited spare time. Documents, records and queries can usually be handled digitally, with calls arranged around your schedule. If you would prefer to meet, we can discuss the arrangements that work best for you when you get in touch.
As a rule, keep documentation for all income and expenses you intend to report — locum invoices or agency statements, private fee records, bank statements, receipts for indemnity and subscriptions, mileage logs, training costs and equipment purchases. Good records make your return faster to prepare, reduce the risk of errors and provide support if HMRC ever asks questions. Digital record keeping is increasingly expected, and we can help you set up a system that fits your routine.
Changing accountants is usually straightforward. We ask for authorisation to contact your existing accountant for your files and information, then review your previous accounts and returns to establish your position. Any outstanding filings are identified early so nothing is missed. Most doctors find the transition takes very little of their own time once the initial authorisation is in place.
