Frequently asked questions
What specific tax reliefs can accountants claim for doctors?
Accountants for doctors can claim a range of tax reliefs, including those for professional subscriptions, medical indemnity insurance, and necessary equipment. They can also help with expenses related to study, travel between workplaces, and home office costs. By identifying all eligible deductions, they ensure you pay the correct amount of tax.
How do I know if an accountant is properly qualified?
Qualified accountants will be members of recognised professional bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These organisations require rigorous training and adherence to strict ethical standards. You can verify an accountant's credentials by checking the register on the relevant body's website or by asking the accountant directly for their membership number.
Can an accountant help with HMRC investigations?
Yes, an experienced accountant can provide invaluable support during an HMRC investigation. They will handle all correspondence with HMRC, prepare the necessary documentation, and ensure that your rights are protected. Their expertise can reduce the stress of an enquiry and help achieve a favourable outcome.
What is the difference between a tax return and Self Assessment?
A tax return is the form you submit to HMRC, whilst Self Assessment is the system used to report your income and gains. Doctors who are self-employed or have additional income must register for Self Assessment and file an annual tax return. An accountant will prepare and submit this on your behalf.
Do I need to register for VAT if I run a private practice?
If your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold, you must register for VAT. Even if your turnover is below this threshold, voluntary registration may be beneficial in certain circumstances. An accountant can advise on whether VAT registration is right for you and help you manage your obligations.
How can an accountant help with my NHS pension?
Accountants can help you understand how your NHS pension interacts with your tax position. They can advise on annual allowance charges and whether it is beneficial to make additional contributions. By planning carefully, they can help you avoid unexpected tax bills whilst maximising your retirement savings.
