Frequently asked questions
What specific services do accountants for doctors typically offer?
Accountants for doctors typically offer a range of services tailored to the medical profession. These include preparing and filing Self Assessment tax returns, managing limited company accounts, advising on NHS pension annual allowance issues, and structuring private practice income efficiently. They also assist with VAT registration and returns, capital allowances on equipment, and provide ongoing tax planning to help you retain more of your earnings. Many also offer bookkeeping and payroll services for practice staff.
How can an accountant help with my NHS pension annual allowance?
The NHS pension scheme has complex rules regarding annual allowance and the tapered annual allowance, which can catch many doctors out. An accountant who specialises in medical finances can calculate your pension growth and compare it against your available annual allowance. They can help you understand if you have a tax charge and advise on whether paying it from your pension scheme is beneficial. They can also recommend strategies to manage your allowance, such as adjusting your pension contributions or making additional contributions in other tax years.
Why is it important to choose an accountant who is ACCA or ICAEW certified?
Choosing an accountant who is certified by a recognised body such as ACCA or ICAEW provides assurance of their competence and professionalism. These qualifications require rigorous training and examinations, and members must adhere to strict ethical guidelines and continuing professional development requirements. This means they are up to date with the latest tax laws and HMRC regulations. Using a certified accountant also gives you access to their professional indemnity insurance, offering you protection should an error occur.
What is the difference between a tax return and a Self Assessment?
A tax return and Self Assessment are essentially the same thing. Self Assessment is the system HMRC uses to collect Income Tax from individuals who are not taxed through the PAYE system, such as self-employed people or those with additional income. A tax return is the form you complete to declare your income and gains for the tax year. Accountants for doctors will prepare and submit this form on your behalf, ensuring it is accurate and that you claim all allowable expenses.
Can an accountant help me if I am a locum doctor with multiple sources of income?
Yes, absolutely. Locum doctors often have income from multiple sources, including different NHS trusts and private agencies. This can make tax affairs complicated, as you may need to register for Self Assessment and potentially for VAT if your turnover exceeds the threshold. An accountant can help you keep track of all your income, ensure you are registered correctly, and file your tax return accurately. They can also advise on whether operating through a limited company would be more tax-efficient for you.
How do I know if I need to register for VAT as a doctor?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover for the previous 12 months exceeds the current VAT threshold, which is £85,000. This applies to income from your medical services, whether you are self-employed or operating through a limited company. An accountant can monitor your turnover and advise you when registration becomes necessary. They can also help you decide whether to register voluntarily, which might be beneficial if you incur significant VAT on business expenses, as you could reclaim that VAT.
