Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do accountants for dentists handle?
Accountants for dentists handle tax issues unique to the profession, such as the classification of associates versus self-employed contractors, claiming allowable expenses like lab fees and professional indemnity, and managing tax on private and NHS income. They also advise on capital allowances for dental equipment and ensure compliance with HMRC regulations, helping you minimise your tax liability whilst staying fully compliant.
How do I choose between an ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT qualified accountant?
All three qualifications indicate a high level of professional competence, but the choice depends on your needs. ACCA and ICAEW accountants are typically chartered and can handle complex tax planning and audit. AAT members are skilled in bookkeeping and preparing accounts. For a dental practice, a chartered accountant (ACCA or ICAEW) is often recommended for strategic advice, whilst an AAT professional may suffice for basic compliance.
Can accountants for dentists help with VAT on dental services?
Yes, accountants for dentists can assist with VAT matters. Most dental services are VAT-exempt, but certain treatments, such as cosmetic procedures, may be taxable. A specialist accountant will ensure you correctly account for VAT, manage partial exemption calculations, and submit accurate VAT returns to HMRC. They also advise on whether voluntary registration is beneficial for your practice.
What is the role of an accountant in preparing a dentist's Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant prepares your Self Assessment tax return by collating all income sources, including NHS contracts, private patient fees, and any other earnings. They ensure all allowable expenses are claimed, such as course fees, equipment, and travel. They also calculate your tax and National Insurance due, submit the return to HMRC before the deadline, and advise on payments on account to avoid surprises.
How often should I meet with my dental accountant?
It is advisable to meet with your dental accountant at least twice a year. One meeting should be for tax planning before the end of the tax year, and another to review your year-end accounts. Regular communication ensures you stay on top of changing regulations, cash flow, and any practice changes. Many accountants offer quarterly check-ins to provide ongoing support and proactive advice.
Are there accountants who specialise in dental practice valuations and sales?
Yes, many accountants for dentists also specialise in practice valuations and sales. They can help you determine the market value of your practice, prepare financial statements for potential buyers, and structure the sale tax-efficiently. They also assist with due diligence and negotiating terms. This specialist knowledge ensures you achieve the best possible outcome when buying or selling a dental practice.
