Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do accountants for doctors handle?
Accountants for doctors are trained to manage the unique tax situations faced by medical professionals. This includes dealing with the NHS pension annual allowance taper, which can create unexpected tax bills, and handling income from private practice or locum work. They also assist with Self Assessment tax returns, ensuring that all allowable expenses are claimed, and provide guidance on how to structure your income efficiently to minimise your overall tax liability.
Why is it important to choose an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
Choosing an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant gives you assurance of their technical competence and ethical standards. These professionals have undergone rigorous training and must adhere to a strict code of conduct, which is particularly important when dealing with HMRC. Their qualifications mean they are up to date with the latest tax legislation and can offer strategic advice that is both accurate and compliant, protecting you from potential penalties and ensuring your finances are managed correctly.
Can an accountant help with my NHS pension annual allowance?
Yes, an experienced accountant can provide invaluable assistance with the NHS pension annual allowance. The tapered annual allowance can be complex, and many doctors inadvertently exceed it, resulting in significant tax charges. A specialist accountant will calculate your threshold income and adjusted income, advise on whether you have any unused allowance from previous years, and help you plan your contributions to avoid or reduce any unexpected tax liabilities.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant?
To ensure your accountant can prepare your accounts accurately, you should keep records of all income and expenses. This includes payslips, P60s, receipts for professional subscriptions, travel expenses, equipment purchases, and any costs related to your private practice. If you are a locum, keep a detailed log of your assignments and any agency fees. Organised records help your accountant identify all allowable deductions and ensure your tax return is correct.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
It is advisable to meet with your accountant at least twice a year, once for a tax planning session and once to review your year-end accounts. However, many doctors benefit from more frequent contact, especially if their income fluctuates or they are considering significant financial decisions. Regular communication allows your accountant to provide proactive advice on tax-saving opportunities, pension contributions, and changes in your practice, ensuring you remain financially optimised throughout the year.
What is the difference between a tax return and a full set of accounts?
A tax return, specifically a Self Assessment return, is a form submitted to HMRC detailing your income and capital gains for the tax year, along with any allowable expenses and reliefs. A full set of accounts, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive financial statement that includes your income statement and balance sheet. For a limited company, you are required to prepare both, whereas a sole trader or locum may only need a tax return, but having accounts can help with financial planning.
