Many doctors manage perfectly well with a straightforward PAYE position and no additional income, but the picture changes as soon as you have untaxed income, higher earnings, a limited company, a practice share or a mix of NHS and private work. That is where an accountant adds real value: making sure everything is reported correctly, deductions are claimed where they are genuinely allowable, and deadlines are met. Even where a return is not strictly required, advice on structure and planning can be useful.
Your NHS pay is normally taxed through PAYE, while private fees, locum income and consultancy earnings often need to be reported separately. The key is bringing those figures together accurately, avoiding double counting and claiming the expenses that relate to each income stream. How this applies depends on whether you are employed, self-employed, or working through a company, so the treatment is not identical for every doctor.
Commonly claimed costs include medical indemnity and defence organisation cover, professional subscriptions and registration fees, CPD, training and course costs that maintain or update your existing skills, specialist equipment and texts, and travel between work sites where it is not ordinary commuting. Whether a particular cost qualifies depends on your circumstances and how the expense relates to your work, so it is worth checking before assuming a claim is available.
Locum work can be paid in several ways. If you are engaged through an agency, tax may already be deducted at source, but you may still have costs to record and potentially a return to file. If you work through your own limited company, off-payroll and IR35 considerations can apply and the way contracts are structured matters. Because the rules differ between arrangements, it is worth reviewing how you are engaged before deciding on the most suitable approach.
Medical indemnity and defence organisation membership are generally treated as allowable professional expenses where they are incurred wholly and exclusively for your medical work. The position can differ slightly depending on whether you are employed, self-employed or operating through a company, and on the nature of the cover. Keeping the documentation together makes the claim straightforward when your return is prepared.
There is no single answer that suits every doctor. A limited company can be appropriate for some private practices, consultancy work and locum arrangements, but it brings additional reporting, payroll and filing obligations, and off-payroll rules may affect whether it is beneficial. The right structure depends on your income levels, how you are engaged, your wider financial plans and your attitude to administration, so it is a decision worth taking advice on rather than assuming.
Yes to both. Much of the work involved in preparing returns, accounts and bookkeeping can be handled remotely, with documents shared securely and conversations held by phone or video, while still providing the same level of support as an in-person arrangement. If you are already working with another accountant, the changeover can usually be managed smoothly: we contact them on your behalf, obtain the records and professional clearance needed, and pick up your filing position from there.
Partnership accounts bring together the practice's income and costs, then allocate profits between the partners according to the agreed profit-sharing arrangement. Each partner still needs their own Self Assessment return covering their share of profits alongside any other income, and capital accounts, drawings and practice overheads need to be tracked consistently. Getting the allocation and the underlying records right makes both the practice accounts and the individual returns far easier to prepare.
