Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do accountants for doctors typically handle?
Accountants for doctors often manage complex Self Assessment tax returns, including income from NHS roles, private practice, and locum work. They also provide advice on pension annual allowance charges, which are a common issue for higher earners. Additionally, they can assist with capital gains tax on property or investments and ensure you are claiming all allowable expenses, such as professional subscriptions and equipment costs, to reduce your overall tax liability.
Why is it important to use an ACCA or ICAEW certified accountant?
Using an ACCA or ICAEW certified accountant ensures you are receiving advice from a professional who is bound by a strict code of ethics and is required to maintain their technical knowledge through continuous professional development. These qualifications guarantee a high level of competence and expertise, particularly in complex areas like tax legislation. This provides assurance that your financial affairs are being handled accurately and compliantly, mitigating the risk of costly errors or HMRC investigations.
How can an accountant help me with my NHS pension and tax charges?
The NHS pension scheme can trigger significant tax charges due to the annual allowance, especially for consultants and GPs. A specialist accountant can calculate your pension growth and determine if you have exceeded the annual allowance. They can then advise on strategies to manage the resulting tax bill, such as using scheme pays or salary sacrifice arrangements. This proactive planning is essential to avoid unexpected and substantial tax demands from HMRC.
Should I use a limited company for my locum work?
Whether to operate through a limited company depends on your individual circumstances, including your total income and how often you undertake locum work. A qualified accountant can analyse your situation to determine if this structure is tax-efficient, considering factors like Corporation Tax rates and dividend taxation. They will also guide you through the administrative responsibilities, such as filing Company Tax returns and managing PAYE, ensuring you remain fully compliant with HMRC regulations.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant to prepare my tax return?
You should maintain a detailed record of all income received, including payslips and invoices, and keep receipts for any expenses you wish to claim. This includes costs for professional memberships, indemnity insurance, travel, and any equipment you have purchased. Your accountant will require a summary of these figures to complete your Self Assessment accurately. Using accounting software or a simple spreadsheet can help you organise this information efficiently throughout the tax year.
How often should I meet with my accountant to review my finances?
It is generally advisable to have a formal meeting with your accountant at least twice a year. One meeting should be before the end of the tax year in April to plan for any upcoming liabilities and discuss tax-saving opportunities. The second meeting should be after your tax return has been filed to review your financial position. However, you should also feel free to contact them throughout the year for advice on significant financial decisions, such as property purchases or changes to your employment status.
