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![]()

It depends on how you work, but most healthcare clients need a combination of Self Assessment, bookkeeping, annual accounts, Corporation Tax or partnership returns, payroll, VAT where applicable, and tax planning. For a locum GP, that might be straightforward Self Assessment with careful expense records. For a dental practice or private clinic, it may include company accounts, payroll for the whole team, VAT treatment of mixed NHS and private income, and management accounts that track profitability.
It is not compulsory, but it helps considerably. NHS employments, private practice income and self-employed locum work each have their own tax treatment, and the way income is reported affects your tax position. A specialist accountant can separate those streams correctly, apply the right expenses against the right income, and help you understand how payments on account will work so your tax bill does not come as a surprise.
Associates are typically treated as self-employed rather than employed, which means completing a Self Assessment return and paying Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance where applicable. Common allowable costs include indemnity insurance, GDC registration, professional subscriptions, laboratory fees and a proportion of travel between practices. Because the self-employed treatment of associates is sometimes reviewed by HMRC, it is worth having the arrangement properly documented and your returns consistent with the contract you actually work under.
Yes. VAT in healthcare is one of the more nuanced areas, because some services fall outside the scope or are exempt, some goods and treatments are standard-rated, and mixed NHS and private provision can complicate the position further. We can review what your practice supplies, establish the correct treatment for each element, advise on registration thresholds, and prepare and submit VAT returns on the right basis.
Expenses must be incurred wholly and exclusively for your work. In healthcare that commonly includes professional registration and body fees, indemnity or malpractice insurance, specialist equipment and its maintenance, continuing professional development, professional journals, and travel to temporary or multiple work locations. Costs with a private element, such as clothing that could be worn outside work, are generally not allowable. Keeping clear records and separating business from personal spending makes the position far easier to support.
Yes, and it is a common starting point. We can review what you have, identify any gaps, and bring the records up to date before preparing returns. For healthcare clients, the practical solution is usually a simple routine built around how you already work — for example, capturing private fee income and expenses monthly, or reconciling card machine and bank transactions regularly rather than in one annual scramble.
Yes. Most of the accounting and tax work involved — Self Assessment, accounts preparation, payroll, VAT returns and ongoing advice — can be handled securely by sharing documents electronically and speaking by phone or video call at times that fit around clinics and surgery hours. Appointments and document exchanges can be arranged to suit your working pattern.
It begins with a conversation about how you earn, what structure you operate through, and what is currently causing you difficulty. From there, we review your existing records and filings, outline the support that would suit your circumstances, and agree how and when information will be shared. If you are switching accountants, we can usually manage the handover with your existing adviser on your behalf.
