The work covers both compliance and advice. On the compliance side that means preparing and filing Self Assessment tax returns, statutory accounts, Corporation Tax computations, VAT returns and payroll, and keeping bookkeeping records accurate and up to date. On the advisory side it means looking at your income mix, business structure, allowable expenses and cash flow, and explaining the tax consequences of decisions before you make them. For healthcare clients specifically, it also involves understanding how NHS income, private fees, associate percentages, locum payments and practice expenses interact.
You are not legally required to use one, but the practical benefits are considerable. Multiple income sources mean multiple sets of figures to reconcile, tax to be paid through payments on account, and expenses that need to be claimed correctly to avoid overpaying. An accountant can pull those strands together, check that your payments on account are set at a sensible level so you are not hit with an unexpected bill in January, and make sure your records would stand up to scrutiny if HMRC asked questions.
All of your taxable income for the tax year is reported on a single Self Assessment return, but the different sources are entered separately. NHS salary or pension income is usually already taxed through PAYE, while private fees, locum earnings and untaxed income are declared in full. If tax is owed, HMRC normally collects it through payments on account in January and July, based on your previous year's liability. Getting the figures right matters, because underpaying leads to interest and potentially penalties, while overpaying ties up money you could use elsewhere.
Yes. Practice payroll often involves full-time and part-time employees, locums paid at irregular intervals, salaried clinicians, reception and administrative staff, and pension auto-enrolment obligations. We can run the payroll on an agreed schedule, calculate PAYE and National Insurance, produce payslips, handle starters and leavers, and deal with the pension duties that apply. Keeping this consistent each month avoids the last-minute corrections that tend to appear when payroll is handled ad hoc.
It depends on your role and how you are structured, but common claims include professional registration and indemnity insurance, medical equipment and instruments, specialist clothing such as scrubs where they are required for work, professional subscriptions, and a reasonable proportion of costs such as home office use, business mileage or mobile phone bills where there is genuine business use. The key requirement is that the expense is incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of your work, and that you have evidence for it. We review claims against that principle rather than assuming everything is allowable.
Many private healthcare services are exempt from VAT, which can mean registration is neither required nor beneficial on those supplies alone. However, other activities such as retail sales from a dispensary, cosmetic or non-medical treatments, product sales, consultancy or training may be taxable, and those can count towards the registration threshold. Mixed taxable and exempt supplies also create partial exemption considerations. The right answer depends on exactly what your clinic provides, so it is worth reviewing before you assume you are outside the system.
There is no single correct structure — it depends on your income level, how many people are involved, your appetite for administration, and how much risk you carry. Sole trader status is simpler and cheaper to administer but leaves you personally exposed, while a limited company can offer a different tax treatment and limited liability at the cost of additional filing and reporting obligations. Practices and clinics with several partners face a further set of considerations around profit sharing. We look at your circumstances and set out the practical implications of each option before you decide.
Yes. Accounts, tax returns, payroll and bookkeeping can all be handled remotely using secure digital records and document sharing, which suits healthcare professionals whose working hours rarely align with office hours. To get started, the first step is a conversation about your circumstances — how you work, how you are structured, what income you receive and what is currently causing you difficulty. From there we review your existing position and set out a plan of support with clear responsibilities on both sides.
