The core work covers bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment tax returns, Corporation Tax returns, payroll and VAT advice where it applies. Beyond compliance, it includes tax planning around how you are structured, how you pay yourself, how profits are shared between partners, and how NHS and private income are reported. For healthcare clients specifically, it also means being alert to issues such as NHS pension income figures, associate or locum arrangements, employment status questions, and services that are exempt from VAT rather than standard-rated.
It suits almost anyone earning from clinical work or running a healthcare business. That includes GP partners and salaried GPs, locum and sessional doctors, consultants with private practice or medico-legal income, dentists and dental associates, pharmacists and pharmacy contractors, nurses, physiotherapists and other allied health professionals, as well as private clinics, care providers and practice managers. Some clients are sole traders with straightforward returns, while others are partners or limited companies with staff, premises and more complex VAT positions. The right level of support depends on your circumstances.
Yes. Income from NHS employment, locum sessions, private patient fees, partnership profits and other clinical or medically related work is generally taxable and must be reported through the correct route, whether that is PAYE through employment, Self Assessment, a partnership return or a company tax return. Keeping NHS and private income clearly separated in your records makes the figures far easier to reconcile and reduces the risk of errors, particularly when professional expenses need to be apportioned between different income sources.
There are several costs that are commonly allowable, including professional indemnity insurance, registration fees with professional bodies, medical equipment, continuing professional development, specialist clothing, professional subscriptions and business mileage. Certain expenses are not allowable or need apportioning, and the treatment can differ depending on whether you are employed, self-employed or operating through a company. Claiming for something that is not genuinely allowable can create problems later, so it is worth having your records reviewed rather than relying on assumptions.
It depends on what you provide and how much of your turnover is taxable. Many medical and paramedical services are exempt from VAT, but services such as cosmetic or aesthetic treatments, some non-medical services and retail sales can be standard-rated. Where a practice offers a mixture, you need to monitor the value of taxable supplies rather than total turnover. It is also worth reviewing whether any exemptions genuinely apply to what you do, since the VAT treatment of a service is not always obvious from its name.
We can help make sure the income and contribution figures used in your tax reporting are accurate and consistent, which is essential when pension tax charges may apply to higher earners. Producing reliable estimates of your pension input and taxable income allows you and your financial adviser to assess any annual allowance position properly. Pension-specific advice on scheme benefits is a separate matter, so where it is needed we would work alongside your existing adviser rather than replace that expertise.
No. Much of the work involved in accounts, tax returns, payroll and VAT is now handled through secure document sharing, cloud accounting software, email and video calls. Providing records digitally and receiving accounts and returns electronically is now normal practice for many healthcare professionals and practices, and it works well for people with limited time between clinics, surgeries or patient lists. If you prefer a more traditional way of working, that can usually be accommodated too.
Start with an initial conversation about how you work, what income streams you have and what is currently causing you difficulty. From there, we review your accounting and tax position, including your existing records, returns and business structure, and explain what we find in plain English. You then decide what level of support you want, whether that is help with a single Self Assessment return, ongoing bookkeeping and payroll, or a fuller arrangement covering accounts, tax planning and management reporting.
