Not every doctor does, but many find it worthwhile. If your only income is a straightforward NHS salary taxed through PAYE and you have no other complications, an accountant may not be essential. However, once you add locum work, private patient fees, consultancy income, rental income, investment income, a practice partnership or a limited company, the picture changes. At that point, an accountant can help ensure the right income is reported in the right way, that you are claiming the expenses you are entitled to, and that you are not caught out by deadlines you did not know applied to you.
Your NHS salary is taxed through PAYE, so tax is already deducted at source. Private income, locum fees and consultancy earnings are usually not taxed in the same way, which means they generally need to be reported through Self Assessment. If you are registered for Self Assessment, you declare your total income, claim allowable expenses and any reliefs, and settle any additional tax due. The exact treatment depends on whether the income is employment income or self-employed income, so it is worth reviewing how each stream is structured.
Commonly claimed items include medical indemnity and professional indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, required training and continuing professional development, specialist equipment, and certain travel costs where they relate to your work rather than ordinary commuting. What you can claim depends on whether you are employed or self-employed, and on the specific purpose of the expense, so claims should always be considered against your own circumstances rather than applied automatically.
Locum doctors usually need to keep records of every placement, including agency statements or direct invoices, dates worked, locations and fees received. Travel between sites, accommodation if you work away from home, and professional costs such as indemnity cover and subscriptions can all be relevant. Because locum income can be irregular and spread across multiple payers, good bookkeeping throughout the year makes your tax return far more accurate and much less stressful to prepare.
It depends on your circumstances. A limited company can suit some doctors with substantial private or consultancy income, but it brings additional responsibilities such as statutory accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll obligations and potential IR35 considerations where contracts fall within the off-payroll rules. For others, working as a sole trader or within a partnership is perfectly appropriate. The right answer depends on your income levels, how your contracts are arranged and your wider financial plans, so structure decisions should be reviewed individually.
Yes. If you operate a private practice, clinic or consulting business, support can include annual accounts, Corporation Tax or partnership returns, bookkeeping, management accounts and payroll for practice staff. VAT support is available where your activities are VAT-relevant, including advice on whether registration is needed and how different services are treated. The exact package depends on how your practice is set up and what you need help with.
Accounting support can be provided remotely, which suits doctors with changing rotas or commitments across different sites. If you are currently with another accountant, moving across is usually straightforward: we review your existing records, confirm what information is needed, and handle the handover process so your filings continue without interruption. It helps to arrive with your latest accounts, tax return and bookkeeping records, but we can guide you through what to gather.
Pension contributions can affect both your tax position and your annual allowance, and doctors with NHS pension membership plus private income sometimes face annual allowance charges that need to be reported correctly. The interaction between NHS pension contributions, private pension arrangements, carry forward of unused allowances and your total income can be complex, so it is worth reviewing regularly as your earnings change rather than assuming your previous position still applies.
