It depends on your circumstances. A doctor with only salaried NHS income taxed through PAYE may not need a tax return at all, although other factors such as private income, high income child benefit implications or pension considerations can change that. Once you have locum income, private fees, consultancy or medico-legal income, partnership involvement or a limited company, the position becomes more involved, and an accountant can help ensure everything is reported correctly while identifying legitimate expenses and planning points you may not be aware of.
NHS employment income is normally taxed through PAYE, while private practice, locum or consultancy income is often self-employed income that needs to be reported through Self Assessment. If tax has been over-deducted from some private work, it may be recoverable through the return; if tax has been under-deducted, the return identifies what is owed so you can plan for it. Because the interaction between the two matters, it is worth looking at them together rather than in isolation.
Potentially allowable items often include medical indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, mandatory training and continuing professional development, specialist equipment, professional journals and, where the rules are met, travel and mileage for genuine business journeys. The key test is whether the expense is incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the work, and the treatment can differ between employment and self-employment. Ordinary commuting is generally not allowable, which is why good travel records matter.
Medical indemnity cover and professional body subscriptions are commonly claimed, but the correct treatment depends on whether the cost relates to employed work, self-employed work, or both. Where a subscription covers both, the claim may need apportioning. Keeping the renewal notices and payment records makes this straightforward at the end of the year.
Locum doctors are often treated as self-employed, in which case registration for Self Assessment and reporting of profits is usually required, along with records of income and expenses. However, the correct treatment depends on the terms of the engagement — some arrangements are closer to employment. If you are unsure how your locum work is classified, this is worth reviewing before you file.
There is no single answer that suits every doctor. Sole trader status is simple and administratively light, partnerships suit doctors running a joint practice, and a limited company can offer different tax and pension planning options but brings additional filing, payroll and compliance obligations. The right choice depends on your income levels, how you draw money from the business, your pension arrangements and your longer-term plans.
VAT treatment depends on the nature of the services and on whether the medical exemption applies, as well as on your turnover against the registration threshold. Some medical services are exempt, while others are not. If you provide private work, medico-legal services or consultancy, it is worth reviewing your position carefully rather than assuming either way.
Yes. Many doctors prefer to handle their accounting remotely, sharing documents securely and communicating by email, phone or video call around clinical commitments. What matters is that your records reach us in a usable form and that you have a clear point of contact. Remote or in-person arrangements can be discussed at the outset so the way we work suits your schedule.
Switching is usually straightforward. We will ask you to authorise us to act as your agent with HMRC and to contact your previous accountant for the relevant records, accounts and tax return history. We then review what has been done previously, confirm your income sources and obligations, and set out what is needed going forward. If you are partway through a tax year, we will pick things up from the appropriate point.
