The day-to-day work usually covers preparing and filing Self Assessment returns, annual accounts and Corporation Tax computations, maintaining bookkeeping records, running payroll for practice staff, managing VAT returns where applicable, and advising on allowable expenses, tax planning and business structure. What makes healthcare accounting different is the context: understanding mixed NHS, private and locum income, the specific rules around medical expenses and VAT exemption, and the way practices and partnerships share profits between principals, associates and partners.
You are not legally required to use an accountant, but self-employment brings obligations that are easy to get wrong when you are also working long shifts. You need to report all self-employed income, keep records to support your expenses, understand payments on account so you are not caught out by two tax bills in one year, and consider whether your structure remains appropriate as your income grows. An accountant can also confirm which costs — indemnity cover, registration fees, equipment, travel between sites, a proportion of home costs — are defensible in your particular circumstances.
The key is separating each income stream and applying the correct reporting treatment. NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, while private patient fees, locum payments and partnership profit shares typically fall to be reported through Self Assessment. Where a practice receives contract income alongside private fees, and where VAT applies to some services and not others, the records need to distinguish between them from the outset. We set up a bookkeeping approach that captures this properly during the year, which makes the return far more accurate and considerably less stressful to prepare.
There is no single list that applies to everyone, but common claims include professional indemnity insurance, professional body and registration fees where they are required for your work, specialist equipment and clinical clothing, continuing professional development that maintains existing skills, clinical software subscriptions, and a reasonable proportion of home running costs where you genuinely work from home. Travel between separate practice locations is often allowable, whereas ordinary commuting is not. The test is whether an expense is incurred wholly and exclusively for your work, and we will tell you honestly when something is unlikely to stand up.
Many medical and healthcare services are exempt from VAT, but exemption is not the same as being outside the VAT system. Income from dispensing, retail sales, non-medical treatments such as cosmetic procedures, room hire, medico-legal reports or wider advisory services may be standard-rated, and once your taxable turnover crosses the registration threshold you generally need to register. Practices with a mix of exempt and taxable income also need to consider partial exemption. We review your income streams and confirm the correct position rather than assuming healthcare is automatically exempt.
Yes. Practice payroll often involves a mixture of salaried clinical staff, administrative employees, part-time workers and associates, each with different pay arrangements, pension contributions and reporting requirements. We handle payslips, RTI submissions to HMRC, pension auto-enrolment duties and year-end reporting, and can do the same for you personally where you also draw a salary or have self-employed income. Keeping payroll and personal tax under one roof generally makes the year-end smoother for sole directors and practice owners.
Yes. Most of the information we need — bank statements, invoices, payroll records, HMRC correspondence and clinical income summaries — can be shared securely online, and many healthcare clients prefer this because it fits around clinic lists and unpredictable working hours. Documents can be uploaded at a time that suits you, questions can be answered by email or a scheduled call, and cloud accounting software gives you a live view of your figures without an office visit. Where a face-to-face conversation is genuinely useful, that can be arranged separately.
The first step is a conversation about your circumstances. It helps to have a rough picture of your income sources, how you are currently structured, whether you are registered for VAT, how many staff you employ and any deadlines or outstanding matters with HMRC. From there we review your position, explain what we would recommend and what it would involve, and agree how the ongoing support will work. If you are switching accountants, we can handle the handover of records and authorisation with HMRC and your previous adviser as part of the process.
