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.

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.

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.

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.

  • Recording professional expenses correctly, including medical indemnity cover, where the treatment depends on individual circumstances.
  • Staying on top of Self Assessment deadlines when income arrives from several different sources.

  • Understanding VAT considerations and whether registration applies to the services you provide.

FAQs About Medical Accountants

Medical Accountants in Galashiels provide accounting, bookkeeping and tax support for doctors, GPs, consultants, locum doctors, private practitioners and medical practice owners. The work typically covers annual accounts, Self Assessment, payroll, VAT and tax planning, depending on the income sources and business structure involved. Not every medical professional needs every service, so the support is shaped around your own circumstances.

It suits medical professionals and medical businesses of all sizes, from a locum doctor with self-employed earnings to a medical practice with employees and VAT obligations. Sole traders, partners and limited company directors are all catered for. If your work generates NHS income, private income or a combination of both, the accounting approach can be adapted accordingly.

Yes. Many medical professionals receive income from more than one source, and those income streams can be reported differently. We help you keep the records separate and accurate so that the figures used for your accounts and tax returns reflect what you actually earned and spent. How each source is treated depends on your individual circumstances.

Whether you need to file depends on your total income, your employment status and other factors, so it is worth checking rather than assuming. If a return is required, we can prepare and submit it and help you understand the deadlines involved. We can also review whether the expenses you incur are allowable, as the treatment depends on individual circumstances.

Common items include professional body subscriptions, medical indemnity cover and certain costs of running a practice, though whether a specific expense is allowable depends on your circumstances and how it relates to your work. We review your outgoings and explain what can reasonably be included. Accurate records kept throughout the year make this process much easier.

Yes. We can maintain day-to-day bookkeeping, reconcile income and expenditure, and prepare VAT returns where a practice is registered. Where VAT registration or a particular treatment is unclear, we explain the position and the options available to you. This helps keep practice records tidy and reporting deadlines on track.

Switching is usually straightforward and can be done partway through the year without disrupting your reporting. We can liaise with your previous accountant to obtain the records we need and then take over the ongoing work. Once everything is in place, you receive continuity of support for accounts, tax and any payroll obligations.

Getting started begins with a conversation about your role, your income sources and any accounting deadlines you are working towards. From there, we outline the support that fits your circumstances and explain what information we need from you. You can then decide how you would like to proceed.
