Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my medical practice?
When selecting an accountant, ensure they have experience with medical professionals and understand the complexities of NHS pensions, locum income, and private practice. Look for qualifications from recognised bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Check that they are registered with HMRC for agent services and can handle your tax returns and any VAT obligations. A good accountant will also offer proactive advice on tax planning and business structure.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can prepare and submit your Self Assessment tax return accurately and on time, ensuring you claim all allowable expenses and reliefs. They will analyse your income from various sources, including NHS work, private practice, and any other earnings, and calculate your tax and National Insurance liabilities. They can also advise on payments on account and help you plan for future tax bills, reducing the risk of HMRC penalties.
Do I need an accountant if I am a locum doctor?
Yes, locum doctors often have complex tax affairs, especially if they work through an umbrella company or their own limited company. An accountant can help you determine your employment status, manage your expenses, and ensure you are not overpaying tax. They can also assist with VAT registration if your turnover exceeds the threshold and provide guidance on pension contributions and other tax-efficient savings.
What is the difference between ACCA, ICAEW, and AAT qualified accountants?
ACCA and ICAEW are chartered accountancy bodies, requiring rigorous exams and practical experience. They are recognised internationally and can audit large companies. AAT is a vocational qualification focusing on bookkeeping and accounting skills. All three are respected, but chartered accountants (ACCA or ICAEW) often have broader expertise and can offer more strategic advice. For complex medical finances, a chartered accountant may be preferable.
Can an accountant help me with VAT if I run a private practice?
Yes, if your private practice turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold, you must register for VAT. An accountant can manage your VAT returns, advise on which supplies are exempt or zero-rated, and help you decide whether to use the flat rate scheme. They can also ensure you claim input VAT correctly on business purchases, potentially saving you money and keeping you compliant with HMRC.
How often should I meet with my accountant to review my finances?
It is advisable to meet with your accountant at least twice a year, once for tax planning before the end of the tax year and once to review your annual accounts. However, you may need more frequent meetings if your income changes significantly or you are starting a new venture. Regular communication ensures that you stay on top of deadlines and can adjust your financial strategy as needed.
