Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do accountants for dentists handle?
Accountants for dentists specialise in the unique tax issues of dental practices, including the correct treatment of NHS and private income, claiming capital allowances on dental chairs and x-ray equipment, and structuring associate payments. They also manage your Self Assessment tax return, ensure VAT is handled correctly if your practice is VAT-registered, and advise on profit extraction methods that are tax-efficient for practice owners.
How do I know if an accountant is properly qualified?
You should look for accountants who hold recognised qualifications from professional bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These qualifications ensure the accountant has passed rigorous exams and adheres to a strict code of ethics and continuing professional development. Additionally, qualified accountants are regulated by their professional body and are authorised to represent you before HMRC, giving you confidence in their expertise and professionalism.
Can an accountant help me with HMRC investigations?
Yes, an experienced accountant can provide invaluable support during an HMRC investigation. They will help you gather the necessary records, prepare clear explanations for any discrepancies, and communicate directly with HMRC on your behalf. Their knowledge of tax law and investigation procedures can reduce stress and help you achieve a fair outcome. This is a key service offered by many firms specialising in dental practices.
What is the benefit of using a specialist accountant for my dental practice?
A specialist accountant understands the financial workings of a dental practice, including the mix of private and NHS income, the use of associates, and the importance of practice valuation. They can provide tailored advice on profit sharing, equipment leasing, and tax planning that a general accountant might miss. This specialist knowledge helps you maximise your income, stay compliant with HMRC, and plan for the future of your practice.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
It is advisable to meet with your accountant at least twice a year, once for tax planning before the end of the tax year and once to review your annual accounts and tax return. However, many dental practices benefit from more frequent contact, such as quarterly reviews, to monitor cash flow and adjust for any changes income or expenses.
