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![]()

The core work is familiar — bookkeeping, accounts, tax returns, payroll, VAT — but it is applied to the way healthcare income and costs behave. That means handling NHS salary and superannuation alongside private fees, locum or associate income, separating clinical from non-clinical activity for VAT, and recognising expenses that are specific to practice, such as indemnity cover, professional registrations, CPD, specialist equipment and clinical software. The difference shows up in the questions asked and the accuracy of the final position.
Both sources are reported on the same Self Assessment return, but they are recorded separately because the nature of the income differs and expenses may only be claimable against some of it. Accurate figures for superannuation and pension input are also needed. Where income has grown, payments on account can rise significantly, so it helps to plan for those instalments rather than be caught out by them. We gather these figures, reconcile them and explain what the final liability means in practice.
Commonly claimable costs include professional indemnity insurance, registration and professional body fees, CPD and training relevant to your existing role, specialist equipment and uniforms, medical software and subscriptions, and a business proportion of home, phone and travel costs where justified. Costs with a personal element, ordinary commuting, and general clothing are not allowable. The key is demonstrating that an expense was incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of your work, which is why record keeping matters as much as the claim itself.
It depends on the mix of services. Many healthcare services delivered by registered professionals are exempt from VAT, but other activities — cosmetic or non-clinical treatments, retail sales, dispensing, equipment hire and some consultancy — are standard-rated. If your taxable turnover exceeds the registration threshold, or if you make both exempt and taxable supplies, you will usually need to register and may need a partial exemption method. Getting the apportionment right matters, because it affects how much input VAT you can recover.
Yes. Payroll for practices often includes practice managers, reception and admin teams, nurses, healthcare assistants and associate clinicians, each potentially on different pay arrangements. We manage PAYE, payslips, statutory payments, pension auto-enrolment, and the reporting obligations that come with employing people. We can also work alongside existing practice software and payroll processes where you prefer to keep those systems in place.
The practical answer is a simple digital system with a clear routine. We help set up an approach for capturing receipts, invoices and mileage as they happen, reconcile bank and card transactions regularly, and flag anything missing before it becomes a problem. This keeps your records accurate through the year and prepares you for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, which is being introduced in phases. Small, consistent habits remove almost all of the January pressure.
Each structure has different implications for tax, National Insurance, profit extraction, liability and administration. Sole trader and partnership arrangements are simpler but less flexible on profit timing, while a limited company can suit practices with retained profits or multiple owners but brings additional filing and compliance obligations. The right answer depends on your income level, expansion plans, risk profile and how many people are involved, so we usually work through the numbers for your specific circumstances before recommending anything.
It starts with a conversation about how you work — your income sources, structure, staffing and current pain points. We then review your existing records, returns, VAT treatment and payroll arrangements to see what is accurate, what needs correcting and what could be organised better. From there, we agree the services you need and the schedule going forward. If you are partway through a tax year or dealing with outstanding HMRC correspondence, that can be handled as part of the same process.
