I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.Posted on Google![]()

I had a positive experience with Accotax. The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.Posted on Google![]()

We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.Posted on Google![]()

I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.Posted on Google![]()

Doctors rarely deal with one simple income stream. NHS pay, private fees, locum contracts, consultancy and practice profits can all arrive in different ways, on different timescales, and with different tax treatments. That combination creates a set of accounting challenges that a generalist accountant may not recognise.

It depends on your circumstances. A doctor whose entire income is NHS salary taxed through PAYE, with no private work, locum income, consultancy fees, investments or rental income, may not need to file a Self Assessment return at all. As soon as additional income sources enter the picture — private practice fees, locum shifts, medico-legal work, practice profits, or untaxed investment income — the reporting requirements and the risk of an inaccurate return rise considerably. An accountant is less about filing a form and more about making sure income and expenses are treated correctly, professional expenses are not missed, and you know what is likely to be payable and when.
Your NHS salary is taxed through PAYE, and that tax is credited against your overall liability. Private fees, locum income and consultancy earnings are usually reported through Self Assessment, where they are added to your total income for the year. Because the combined figure can push you into a higher band, the tax due on the private element is often higher than the basic rate, and payments on account may apply for the following year. We prepare the return, calculate the position and explain how the figures arise so there are no surprises.
Yes. Locum doctors often work as self-employed sole traders, sometimes with several agencies or direct clients during a year, and sometimes alongside employed NHS work. That means tracking income from multiple sources, keeping records of contracts and invoices, and identifying genuinely allowable costs such as travel between work locations, professional indemnity, registration and subscription costs, and equipment used for the work. The correct treatment depends on whether you are engaged as self-employed or employed for each contract, and we review that carefully.
Common examples include medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college or specialist society subscriptions, professional training and continuing professional development that maintains or updates existing skills, equipment used for your work, and business travel or mileage that is not ordinary commuting. Personal costs, everyday clothing, and the cost of travelling from home to a regular workplace are generally not allowable. Because the rules depend on the nature of the expense and how you are engaged, we look at each item rather than applying a blanket list.
Not automatically. Many doctors receive NHS and private income as an individual, and a limited company is often unsuitable where the work is effectively employment. Incorporation can be worth considering for some private practice, consultancy or medico-legal arrangements, where it may offer a different approach to profit extraction and administration, but it also brings additional filing, payroll and compliance obligations. The right answer depends on your income levels, your contracts, your plans and how your NHS role sits alongside your private work, so we review the position rather than assuming.
Yes. GP practices and other medical partnerships typically need partnership accounts, allocation of profits between partners in line with the partnership agreement, and individual Self Assessment returns for each partner. Where a practice employs staff, there may also be payroll obligations, and VAT may apply to certain income streams. We handle the accounts and the partner-level reporting together, so the numbers reconcile and each partner knows their own position.
Pension contributions and scheme membership can affect your tax position, particularly where your income is high or varies from year to year. Contributions into the NHS Pension Scheme are handled through payroll, while any additional private pension arrangements are claimed differently. How these interact with your total income, and with your annual allowance position, depends on your individual circumstances. We flag where a review may be worthwhile rather than assuming a standard answer applies.
Yes. Much of the work involved in preparing accounts and tax returns can be handled remotely, with documents and records shared securely, and the approach tailored to how you prefer to work. If you are moving from another accountant, we can manage the handover, including requesting the information needed from your previous firm, so the transition is orderly. The starting point is a conversation about your income sources, your current arrangements and what you need from an accountant going forward.
