Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do accountants for doctors handle?
Accountants for doctors are experienced in dealing with the complex tax rules that affect medical professionals. This includes managing the pension annual allowance taper, which can catch many doctors out, and ensuring that income from locum work or private practice is correctly reported. They also help with the calculation of taxable benefits, such as a company car or private medical insurance, and they will ensure that you claim all legitimate expenses, from professional subscriptions to indemnity insurance. Their specialist knowledge ensures your tax return is accurate and that you are not paying more than required.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant help with HMRC enquiries?
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your tax affairs, having a qualified accountant by your side is invaluable. ACCA and ICAEW professionals are regulated and must adhere to strict ethical and technical standards. They can communicate directly with HMRC on your behalf, prepare the necessary documentation, and provide expert representation. Their understanding of tax law and HMRC procedures means they can respond effectively to any questions, reducing the stress and potential financial impact on you. They will work to resolve the enquiry as quickly and favourably as possible, giving you peace of mind.
Do I need a specialist accountant if I am a locum doctor?
Yes, locum doctors often have complex financial arrangements that benefit from specialist advice. You may work through an umbrella company, a personal service company, or as a sole trader, and each structure has different tax implications. A specialist accountant can help you decide which arrangement is most tax-efficient for your circumstances, manage your Self Assessment tax return, and ensure you are correctly registered for VAT if your turnover exceeds the threshold. They can also advise on the IR35 rules, which are particularly relevant to locum work, and help you plan for your tax liabilities throughout the year.
What is the difference between a chartered accountant and a certified accountant?
Chartered accountants are typically members of ICAEW, whilst certified accountants are members of ACCA. Both are highly qualified and regulated, but their training and focus can differ slightly. ICAEW chartered accountants often have a strong grounding in audit and financial reporting, whilst ACCA certified accountants are known for their broad business and tax expertise. For most doctors, either qualification provides a high level of competence, and the choice may come down to personal preference or the specific services offered. The key is to ensure that your chosen accountant has relevant experience with medical professionals.
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, but many doctors benefit from more frequent contact. Your accountant should be available to answer questions throughout the year, especially if your circumstances change, such as a new role, a change in your pension contributions, or the start of a private practice. Regular meetings allow you to plan for tax payments, review your cash flow, and adjust your financial strategies. A proactive accountant will also alert you to any upcoming deadlines or changes in tax legislation that could affect you, ensuring you remain compliant and optimise your position.
Can an accountant help me with VAT if I run a private practice?
Yes, an accountant can provide comprehensive VAT advice for your private practice. If your taxable turnover exceeds the current VAT threshold, you must register for VAT and charge VAT on your fees. Your accountant can help you decide whether to use the standard scheme or the flat rate scheme, which may be simpler and more cost-effective. They will also manage your VAT returns, ensure you claim input tax on eligible purchases, and advise on the treatment of services such as cosmetic procedures, which may be exempt or zero-rated. This ensures you remain compliant and avoid penalties.
