Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do accountants for doctors typically handle?
They manage complex areas such as pension annual allowance calculations, which are a common concern for higher-earning consultants and GPs. They also deal with income from multiple sources, including locum work and private practice, ensuring that all earnings are correctly reported on your Self Assessment tax return. Furthermore, they provide guidance on capital allowances for expensive medical equipment and ensure you claim all relevant professional expenses, such as indemnity insurance and course fees, to legally minimise your tax liability.
How can an accountant help with my practice's limited company structure?
If you operate your private practice through a limited company, an accountant will manage your statutory obligations. This includes preparing and filing annual accounts with Companies House, calculating and advising on Corporation Tax payments, and managing your payroll through RTI (Real Time Information). They will also advise on the most tax-efficient way to extract profits, whether through a salary, dividends, or pension contributions, and ensure you remain compliant with all relevant regulations and deadlines.
What is the benefit of choosing an accountant who is ACCA or ICAEW accredited?
Choosing a professional from a body like ACCA or ICAEW provides assurance of their high level of expertise and ethical standards. These accreditations require rigorous training, continuous professional development, and adherence to a strict code of conduct. This means you can trust that the advice you receive is current, accurate, and in your best interest. It also offers a level of recourse should you have any issues with the service provided, as these bodies have formal complaints procedures.
How often should I meet with my accountant to review my financial position?
While a minimum of an annual meeting is necessary to finalise your accounts and tax return, many doctors benefit from more frequent contact. A good accountant will offer at least quarterly reviews to discuss cash flow, forecast your tax liabilities, and plan for upcoming investments or large purchases. This proactive approach allows for timely tax planning, such as making pension contributions before the year-end to reduce your tax bill, rather than simply reacting to events after the tax year has finished.
Can an accountant assist with HMRC investigations or tax disputes?
Yes, having a qualified accountant is invaluable if HMRC decides to open an enquiry into your tax affairs. They will handle all communication with HMRC on your behalf, preparing the necessary evidence and building a robust case to support your position. They understand the enquiry process and can negotiate effectively to resolve disputes, often without the need for a tribunal. This professional representation reduces stress and protects your reputation, ensuring your rights are upheld throughout the process.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant to prepare my tax return?
You should keep a comprehensive record of all your income and expenditure. This includes your P60 or P45 forms from NHS employment, invoices and receipts for any private work or locum shifts, and records of any expenses such as travel, professional subscriptions, and equipment purchases. You should also retain bank statements and details of any charitable donations. Organising these documents digitally or in a dedicated folder throughout the year will help your accountant work efficiently and ensure you claim every deduction you are entitled to.
