They handle the accounting and tax work behind an optical business, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax and payroll, while keeping in mind the mix of professional fees, spectacles, contact lenses and stock that practices deal with. The exact scope depends on how your business is structured and what you need.
Independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed practitioners, practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. Each has different reporting and tax obligations, so support is shaped around your role and structure rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists and locum opticians often need help with record keeping, expenses and Self Assessment, including how income from different practices is reported. If you also sell spectacles or contact lenses, the records need to capture that separately so your figures stay accurate.
Yes. Bookkeeping can be arranged to separate professional examination income from retail sales of optical goods, which makes Self Assessment and any VAT reporting clearer. How often records are reviewed tends to depend on the size and complexity of your practice.
They are generally treated as trading stock or goods sold, so purchases, stock levels and cost of sales all need tracking. Those figures feed into your accounts and affect reported profit. VAT treatment can differ between goods and professional services, so each supply should be considered on its own facts.
It depends on your turnover and what you supply. Optical businesses may provide professional services alongside spectacles, contact lenses and other optical goods, and these supplies can have different VAT treatments. Registration thresholds and the treatment of individual supplies depend on your circumstances, so tailored advice is worthwhile.
Yes. Payroll support can cover optometrists, dispensing opticians, optical assistants and reception staff, including tax codes and pension duties. Payments to locums and other contractors are handled differently from employee wages, so it is worth checking how each arrangement should be treated.
Yes, and the changeover is usually manageable. It helps to have your latest accounts, bookkeeping and any outstanding correspondence to hand so the transition can be handled cleanly. We can then confirm the information needed and identify any deadlines coming up.
