Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do accountants for dentists handle?
Accountants for dentists handle tax issues unique to dental practices, such as VAT on private treatments, which is often zero-rated, and the correct treatment of mixed supplies. They also manage Self Assessment tax returns for associates and principals, Corporation Tax for limited companies, and capital allowances on dental equipment. They ensure compliance with HMRC regulations and help you claim all allowable expenses, including professional indemnity insurance, laboratory fees, and continuing education costs.
How do I choose a qualified accountant for my dental practice?
When choosing an accountant for your dental practice, look for qualifications from recognised bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Check their experience with dental clients and their understanding of the NHS and private practice mix. Review their services, such as tax planning, payroll, and VAT returns. It is also wise to read client testimonials and compare fees. Using a directory like AccountingFirms allows you to browse local professionals and verify their credentials before making an appointment.
Can an accountant help with VAT for my dental practice?
Yes, a specialist dental accountant can provide invaluable assistance with VAT. Most dental services are exempt from VAT, but certain items like cosmetic treatments may be taxable. An accountant will analyse your income streams to ensure you are not overpaying VAT and that you correctly reclaim input VAT on eligible purchases. They will also prepare and submit your VAT returns to HMRC, keeping you compliant and avoiding penalties.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) are both prestigious professional bodies. ACCA has a global focus and is popular for its flexibility, whilst ICAEW is highly regarded in for its rigorous training and business focus. Both qualifications require extensive study and practical experience. AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) is a lower-level qualification, but many AAT members progress to full ACCA or ICAEW status. All are regulated and ensure high professional standards.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
It is advisable to meet with your accountant at least quarterly to review your financial position and plan for tax payments. More frequent meetings may be beneficial during periods of significant change, such as buying a practice or taking on associates. Regular communication helps ensure you are maximising tax efficiencies and meeting all HMRC deadlines. Your accountant can also provide proactive advice on cash flow and investment opportunities, so maintaining a close working relationship is key.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant?
You should keep records of all income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, bank statements, and payroll records. For dental practices, this includes records of private and NHS income, laboratory bills, equipment purchases, and staff wages. If you are VAT-registered, you must retain VAT invoices and a summary of your output and input tax. Your accountant will need these records to prepare accurate tax returns and financial statements. Using accounting software can simplify this process and ensure you are always organised.
