The work covers both compliance and advice. In practice that usually means preparing and filing Self Assessment returns for clinicians with employed and self-employed income, preparing annual accounts and Corporation Tax returns for practices and clinics trading through a company, running bookkeeping so records stay accurate during the year, operating payroll for clinical and support staff, and advising on VAT where healthcare exemptions and taxable supplies overlap. It also includes the less visible work: checking that you are claiming the expenses you are entitled to, flagging filing dates before they become urgent, and helping you understand what your practice figures are telling you.
Income from locum sessions and private work is generally treated as self-employment, even if you also hold an NHS employment elsewhere. That means completing a Self Assessment return that reports each source correctly, calculating tax across all of your income, and accounting for Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance where applicable. Expenses directly connected to the self-employed work, such as indemnity cover, registration fees and travel between sites, may be claimable. Because PAYE already deducted on any employment income is offset against the final bill, the calculation is more layered than a single-source return, and getting it right matters to avoid overpaying or underpaying.
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we see. NHS salaried work, private patient fees, locum shifts, medico-legal reports, teaching sessions and research payments each need to be captured correctly, with the right expenses applied to the right stream and no duplication between them. We set out a clear structure for recording each source during the year so that the return is built from accurate records rather than reconstructed at the last minute.
Many medical and healthcare services are exempt from VAT, but that exemption does not cover everything. Cosmetic or purely aesthetic procedures, some non-medical consultancy, product sales and certain advisory services may fall outside it. A practice offering a mixture of exempt and taxable services needs to track them separately, apply the correct treatment and consider whether registration is required once turnover crosses the relevant threshold. Getting this wrong in either direction creates avoidable problems, so it is worth reviewing before turnover approaches the limit rather than afterwards.
Commonly claimable costs include professional indemnity and insurance cover, professional body and registration fees, CPD and training that maintains or updates your existing skills, specialist equipment and software, uniforms and laundry where relevant, and business travel between sites or to patients. Costs that are personal, or that relate only to ordinary commuting, generally are not allowable. If you are a company director or practice owner, the rules differ slightly again, and there is a distinction between expenses the business can deduct and benefits that may need reporting.
Yes. Payroll for a practice typically involves a mixture of clinical staff, reception and administrative team members, and possibly associates or locums engaged on a self-employed basis. We can run payroll on your behalf, handle PAYE and National Insurance deductions, manage statutory payments such as sick pay, and support your auto-enrolment pension duties. We can also advise on the employment status of associates and locums, since getting that classification wrong can lead to unexpected tax and National Insurance liabilities further down the line.
Accounting work is well suited to remote arrangements. Records, bank information and payroll data can be shared securely online, returns can be reviewed and approved electronically, and meetings can be held by phone or video at times that fit around clinics and surgeries. What matters is that documents move reliably between us and that you have a clear point of contact for questions. Many healthcare clients find this far more practical than arranging time away from patient commitments.
It begins with a conversation about your circumstances. We will ask how your income is generated, whether you operate as a sole trader, partner or company, whether you employ staff, and whether you have any outstanding filings or concerns. From there we review your existing records and compliance position, confirm what needs to happen and in what order, and agree how support will be provided going forward. If you are switching accountants, we can also help arrange the handover of records and professional clearance from your current adviser.
