Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do doctors need to consider?
Doctors often have multiple income sources, including NHS salaries, private practice, and locum work. Each may be taxed differently, and it is important to track expenses accurately. A specialist accountant can help you maximise allowable deductions, manage pension contributions, and ensure your Self Assessment tax return is correct. They also advise on VAT thresholds and whether voluntary registration is beneficial.
How can an accountant help with HMRC investigations?
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your tax affairs, an experienced accountant can act as your representative and handle all communication. They will review your records, prepare a robust response, and negotiate on your behalf. Having professional support reduces stress and helps ensure a fair outcome. Many accountants offer insurance or protection plans that cover the cost of such investigations.
What qualifications should I look for in an accountant?
Look for a chartered or certified accountant who is a member of a recognised professional body such as ICAEW, ACCA, or AAT. These qualifications demonstrate a high level of training and adherence to strict ethical standards. Additionally, check that the accountant has experience working with medical professionals, as this ensures they understand the unique financial landscape of the NHS and private practice.
Can an accountant help with NHS pension scheme planning?
Yes, many accountants specialise in NHS pension planning. They can help you understand the annual allowance and lifetime allowance rules, which are particularly relevant for senior doctors. By analysing your income and pension contributions, they can advise on tax-efficient strategies to avoid unexpected tax charges. This may involve restructuring your income or making additional contributions to other pension schemes.
What is the difference between a tax return and a tax review?
A tax return is the formal submission of your income and gains to HMRC, usually by 31 January. A tax review is a proactive service where your accountant analyses your financial position and identifies opportunities to reduce your tax bill. While a tax return is compulsory, a tax review is optional but highly recommended for doctors with complex finances. It can uncover savings you may have missed.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
Most doctors meet with their accountant at least twice a year: once for a mid-year review and once before the tax return deadline. However, you may need more frequent meetings if your circumstances change, such as starting private practice or buying a property. A good accountant will be available throughout the year for ad hoc queries and will proactively contact you when important deadlines approach.
