The work covers the same technical ground as any accountancy service, but it is applied to healthcare circumstances. In practice that means preparing Self Assessment returns that combine NHS salary, private fees and locum income correctly, preparing annual accounts and Corporation Tax returns for incorporated practices, running payroll for practice staff, handling VAT where services or sales fall outside the medical exemption, maintaining bookkeeping records, and providing tax planning around matters such as pension contributions, allowable expenses and business structure. The value lies in knowing how those areas interact for clinical income rather than treating each one in isolation.
Often it is the mixed-income cases where specialist help matters most. A locum working through agencies, direct contracts and occasional private sessions may have PAYE deducted on some income and nothing deducted on the rest, which means the Self Assessment calculation has to reconcile both. Nurses and allied health professionals who take on private work alongside a salaried post face the same issue. Getting the treatment of expenses, payments on account and any off-payroll questions right early avoids corrections and unexpected bills later.
Yes. NHS salary and pensionable income is reported as employment income, while private practice fees, locum earnings and consultancy receipts are usually reported as self-employment income, sometimes across more than one trade. Both have to be reflected accurately, and the self-employment figures need proper records of income and expenses rather than estimates. We also look at how the two interact, since additional income can affect payments on account, pension-related tax charges and the amount you should be setting aside through the year.
Claimable costs typically include professional registration and regulatory body fees, professional indemnity insurance, Continuing Professional Development that maintains your existing skills, specialist equipment and clothing such as uniforms, professional subscriptions, and business travel including mileage at HMRC's approved rates. Where you work partly from home, a reasonable proportion of household running costs may be allowable. The key is separating genuinely professional costs from personal ones and keeping evidence. We review expenses as part of the return preparation so claims are supportable if HMRC asks about them.
Many healthcare services provided by registered professionals are exempt from VAT, which is why some practitioners assume VAT never applies to them. That assumption can be costly. Dispensary and retail sales, certain cosmetic or non-medical treatments, medico-legal reporting, training and commercial services may be standard-rated, and a business with both exempt and taxable income can face partial exemption calculations and restrictions on reclaiming input VAT. We assess your specific supplies and monitor turnover against registration thresholds so you register at the right time, and no earlier.
Yes. Payroll support covers practice employees such as receptionists, administrators, practice managers and nurses, including PAYE, National Insurance, statutory payments and employer pension duties. Locum and associate arrangements need particular care because the correct treatment depends on how the engagement is structured and, in some cases, who supplies the worker. We make sure each arrangement is set up consistently and that the payroll records match the contracts in place.
Yes, and it is worth reviewing periodically rather than assuming the structure you started with remains the best fit. Sole trader status is simple but offers no liability protection. Partnerships suit shared practices and require clear profit-sharing arrangements. A limited company can be efficient where profits are retained or reinvested, but brings Corporation Tax, director duties, dividend considerations and additional filing obligations. We look at your income levels, plans, pension position and appetite for administration before recommending a direction.
Yes. Most of the information we need can be shared securely without an in-person meeting, which suits clinicians working across sites, shifts and appointments. Getting started begins with a conversation about your circumstances — how you earn, what records you currently hold, which returns are due and what you want from an accountant. From there we review your position, confirm what we would take on and set out how records, deadlines and communication will work before anything is filed on your behalf.
