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 work covers the same core accounting and tax duties as any accountancy service, but applied to the way healthcare income and costs arise. In practice that means preparing Self Assessment tax returns where you have NHS salary, private fees or locum income, preparing annual accounts and Corporation Tax computations for incorporated practices, maintaining bookkeeping, running payroll for practice staff, handling VAT where it applies, and advising on allowable expenses such as indemnity cover, professional registration fees, clinical equipment and travel between sites. It also includes planning, such as reviewing whether your current trading structure still suits your circumstances.
Because different sources of income are taxed in different ways. Your NHS salary is taxed through PAYE, but private consultation fees, locum sessions and other self-employed earnings normally need to be reported through Self Assessment. Expenses have to be attributed sensibly between employed and self-employed activity, and pension figures may need checking against your records. Getting this wrong can mean paying too much tax or facing questions from HMRC later, so it is worth having the figures reviewed properly.
Yes. Mixed NHS and private income is one of the most common situations we deal with. The key issues are correctly identifying what is taxable, attributing costs to the right activity, and understanding whether VAT applies to any private element. Practices and clinicians often find it helpful to agree a consistent method for splitting shared costs so that the position is defensible and repeatable year after year.
There is no single answer that suits every clinician or practice. Sole trader and partnership structures are straightforward and involve less administration, while a limited company can offer different tax treatment on profits and a clearer separation between business and personal finances, but brings additional filing and compliance obligations. The right choice depends on your income levels, how you take money out of the business, whether you have partners and your longer-term plans. We can talk through the practical trade-offs with you.
Common claims include professional body and registration fees, medical and professional indemnity insurance, specialist equipment and instruments, protective clothing and uniforms, continuing professional development that is relevant to your existing work, and travel between work sites. Home-office costs and mileage can also be claimed where the rules are met. The important point is that every claim needs to be genuinely for business purposes and backed by records, which is why we encourage clients to keep evidence as they go rather than reconstructing it later.
Many healthcare services are exempt from VAT, but exemption is not automatic across everything a practice does. Private cosmetic treatments, retail sales in a pharmacy, non-clinical services and certain goods can be standard-rated, and registration depends on your taxable turnover reaching the relevant threshold. Where a practice has a mix of exempt and taxable activity, partial exemption rules can apply. This is one area where the detail matters, so it is worth reviewing your position rather than assuming you are outside the system.
Yes. We can handle payroll end to end, including payslips, Real Time Information submissions to HMRC, pension contributions and the administration around starters, leavers and changes in hours. On the bookkeeping side, we can maintain your records, reconcile bank and card transactions and produce reports that show how the practice is performing. Taking these tasks off your desk is often the quickest way to free up time and reduce the risk of missed deadlines.
Yes. Most of the accounting work we do does not require in-person meetings. Records can be shared securely online, questions can be answered by phone or email, and documents signed electronically. Many healthcare clients prefer this because it fits around clinics, surgeries and on-call rotas. If you would rather meet in person, that can be arranged as part of getting started.
Start with a conversation. Tell us how you work, what income you receive, whether you employ anyone and what currently worries you about your tax or accounting. From there we review your position, identify any deadlines or gaps, and set out which services would help and how the working relationship would operate. It is a straightforward process, and you will know quickly whether we are a good fit for your circumstances.
