Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do accountants for doctors handle?
Accountants for doctors typically manage Self Assessment tax returns, claiming allowable expenses such as professional subscriptions, indemnity insurance, and equipment. They also advise on pension contributions, including NHS pension annual allowance complexities, and help with tax-efficient structuring of income from private practice or locum work. Their expertise ensures you remain compliant with HMRC while minimising your tax liability.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW accountant help with my NHS pension?
An ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant understands the annual allowance and lifetime allowance rules that affect NHS pensions. They can calculate your pension input amounts, identify potential annual allowance charges, and suggest strategies such as scheme pays elections. This specialist advice is crucial for doctors who may be at risk of exceeding thresholds due to career progression or additional clinical work.
Do I need to register for VAT if I run a private medical practice?
If your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold, you must register for VAT. However, private medical services are often exempt from VAT, which creates a complex area. A qualified accountant can assess your specific services, advise on partial exemption methods, and manage your VAT returns to ensure you claim the correct input tax while staying compliant with HMRC regulations.
What is the difference between a locum and a limited company for tax purposes?
Working as a locum can be done as a sole trader or through a limited company. A sole trader pays Income Tax and National Insurance on profits, while a limited company pays Corporation Tax and offers more flexibility in extracting income via salary and dividends. An accountant can model both scenarios to help you decide which structure is more tax-efficient for your circumstances.
How often should I meet with my accountant to review my finances?
It is advisable to have a formal review at least twice a year, typically before the end of the tax year and after your Self Assessment is filed. However, your accountant should be available for ad hoc advice whenever your circumstances change, such as a new role, a pay rise, or a property purchase. Regular communication ensures proactive planning and avoids year-end surprises.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant to prepare my tax return?
You should keep records of all income, including payslips, P60s, and invoices from locum work. Also retain receipts for any expenses you intend to claim, such as travel, courses, and equipment. Bank statements and dividend vouchers are also essential. Your accountant will provide a checklist to ensure you have everything needed for an accurate and timely tax return submission to HMRC.
