Not every doctor needs one, but many benefit from professional support. If your only income is a straightforward NHS salary taxed through PAYE, your tax affairs may be simple. However, once you add private fees, locum shifts, consultancy work, a limited company, practice profits or significant professional expenses, the position becomes more involved. An accountant can help you report income correctly, claim allowable expenses, meet filing deadlines and understand what you will owe before the bill arrives.
Yes. Doctors with a mix of NHS employment and private medical income usually need to report both through Self Assessment. We bring together your payslips, private invoices, expense records and any other income into a single accurate return, taking into account the way tax is collected through PAYE so you are not paying twice or missing something. The exact treatment depends on how your private work is structured and whether you also have locum or consultancy earnings.
There is no single list that applies to every doctor, because allowable expenses depend on your income source and working arrangements. Costs that doctors commonly ask about include medical indemnity, professional body subscriptions, registration fees, required training and professional development, specialist equipment, and travel or mileage for work-related journeys. Some of these are clearly allowable in certain circumstances, while others need closer review, so it is worth checking your position rather than assuming.
Locum income can be taxed in different ways depending on whether you work through an agency, directly for a practice or trust, as a sole trader, through a partnership or via a limited company. Off-payroll working rules may also apply to some engagements, particularly where an intermediary is involved. The right approach is to look at how each engagement is structured and make sure your reporting, tax payments and records match that reality.
Most medical services provided by registered health professionals are exempt from VAT, but not all work falls into that category. Some non-medical services, such as certain cosmetic treatments, medico-legal reports or advisory work, may be treated differently. If you provide a mix of services, it is worth reviewing whether VAT registration and reporting obligations apply to any part of your activity.
It depends on your circumstances. A limited company can suit some private practitioners, consultants and locums, but it brings additional responsibilities including annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll, possible VAT registration and compliance with off-payroll working rules where they apply. For other doctors, sole trader or partnership arrangements may be more appropriate. The decision should be based on your income levels, contracts, plans and appetite for administration.
Yes. GP partners and doctors in partnership arrangements need partnership accounts that allocate profits and losses correctly, along with individual Self Assessment returns that reflect each partner's share. We can help with profit shares, drawings, practice expenses, capital accounts and the tax implications of joining or leaving a partnership, with the detail depending on the partnership agreement and individual circumstances.
Yes. Accounting support can be provided remotely, with documents and records shared securely and communication handled by email, phone or video call. This suits doctors with busy or unpredictable schedules, and it means you are not restricted by geography. If you are looking for accountants for doctors in Hexham and would prefer to work remotely, that can be arranged.
Changing accountants is usually more straightforward than doctors expect. Once you decide to move, we can contact your existing accountant for the relevant information, review your records and tax position, and confirm what needs to be filed and by when. The key is a clean handover so nothing is missed in the transition.
