The work typically falls into three areas. Compliance covers Self Assessment returns, annual accounts, Corporation Tax computations, partnership returns, VAT and payroll filings. Administration covers bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, record keeping routines and payroll processing for practice staff and locums. Advice covers tax planning, business structure questions, expense treatment, VAT liability on private services and financial reporting that helps you understand how the practice is performing. Which of these matters most depends on whether you work as a sole practitioner, within a partnership, through a limited company, or a combination of arrangements.
It often does, mainly because the income sources arrive in different formats and are taxed in different ways. NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, while private patient fees, locum payments and any profit share typically need to be reported through Self Assessment. The complication is usually about records rather than rules: matching payments to the right period, capturing expenses against the right income stream, and making sure nothing is either missed or double-counted. Keeping private income in a separate bank account and logging expenses as they arise makes the whole process considerably easier at filing time.
The test is whether an expense is incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of your work, and it is applied to the specific facts rather than to job titles. Costs that commonly qualify include professional indemnity insurance, GMC, NMC or GDC registration fees, mandatory CPD, specialist equipment and clinical software. Mileage between sites, a proportionate share of home running costs where you genuinely work from home on admin, and professional subscriptions may also be relevant. Clothing is a frequent trip-up: ordinary workwear generally does not qualify, while specialist protective items may. We review your records and explain which claims are defensible and which carry risk.
Many healthcare services provided by registered professionals are exempt from VAT, but the exemption does not stretch across everything. Dispensing, some cosmetic or non-clinical services, and certain goods and products can fall outside it, and where a practice has both taxable and exempt income, partial exemption rules may limit how much input VAT can be reclaimed. The right answer depends on exactly what is being supplied and by whom. We review your service lines and billing arrangements so the VAT position is clear before HMRC raises questions.
Yes. Practice payroll tends to involve a mix of salaried staff, part-time clinicians, associates on their own arrangements and occasional locum cover, with varying hours and sessional pay that change month to month. We process payroll accurately, handle PAYE and National Insurance deductions, manage auto-enrolment pension responsibilities, and produce payslips and reporting on a schedule that fits your pay dates. If you use payroll software already, we can work with it; if payroll is currently manual or in a spreadsheet, we can move it onto something more robust.
It depends on your income level, how you take money out of the business, whether you have partners, and what your longer-term plans are. Incorporation can produce a lower overall tax position in some circumstances and a higher one in others, and it also changes your administrative obligations, your public filing requirements and how you interact with the NHS and other contractors. There is no universal answer, and rules around contracting and intermediary arrangements can affect some clinicians. We look at your actual figures and talk through the trade-offs before you make a change.
Records need to be kept for a defined period after the relevant tax year or accounting period, and the exact requirement depends on the type of tax and whether you are self-employed, in a partnership or running a company. In practice, the safer approach is to keep everything digitally for longer than the minimum, particularly where equipment purchases or property costs may affect future capital gains calculations. We set up a simple folder and naming system so receipts, invoices and bank statements are captured as they happen rather than reconstructed months later.
Remote working is now the norm for most healthcare clients, and it fits well around clinic lists and shift patterns. Documents can be shared securely, records kept in cloud accounting software, and meetings held by phone or video at times that suit you. To get started, the first step is a conversation about how you work, what your income sources are and what is currently causing difficulty. From there we review your existing accounts and compliance position, agree what needs to happen, and put the support in place with clear responsibilities and dates.
