Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do accountants for dentists handle?
Accountants for dentists typically manage Self Assessment tax returns for associates and principals, Corporation Tax for limited companies, and VAT calculations. They also advise on capital allowances for dental equipment, claiming expenses for professional memberships, and structuring income efficiently. Their expertise ensures that all submissions to HMRC are accurate and timely, reducing the risk of penalties.
How can a dental accountant help with VAT on dental treatments?
Most dental treatments are VAT-exempt, but some cosmetic procedures are standard-rated. A specialist accountant will analyse your treatment mix to calculate the correct partial exemption percentage. They will advise on whether voluntary VAT registration is beneficial and help you maintain the necessary records to satisfy HMRC requirements, ensuring you do not overpay or underpay VAT.
Why is it important to choose an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant for my dental practice?
ACCA and ICAEW qualifications demonstrate a high level of professional competence and adherence to strict ethical guidelines. These accountants are regularly audited and required to undertake continuous professional development. For a dental practice, this means you receive reliable advice on complex matters like practice valuation, partnership agreements, and tax planning, all delivered with a strong duty of care.
What records should I keep for my dental practice accountant?
You should keep records of all income from patient fees, including card payments and private treatment plans. Also retain receipts for laboratory fees, dental supplies, staff wages, and equipment purchases. Maintain a log of mileage for business travel and any home office expenses. Your accountant will use this information to prepare accurate accounts and tax returns.
Can an accountant for dentists help with practice purchase or sale?
Yes, a specialist accountant can provide invaluable assistance during a practice purchase or sale. They can conduct due diligence on the target practice's financial statements, assist with valuation models, and structure the deal to be tax-efficient. They will also advise on the tax implications of selling goodwill, ensuring you understand your capital gains position and any reliefs available.
How often should I meet with my dental accountant for financial planning?
It is advisable to meet with your dental accountant at least twice a year for formal reviews. However, many firms offer quarterly or even monthly check-ins to discuss cash flow, upcoming tax deadlines, and investment plans. Regular contact ensures that any changes in your practice or personal circumstances are reflected in your tax strategy, keeping you fully compliant.
