Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my medical practice?
When selecting an accountant, ensure they are qualified with a recognised body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. They should have experience working with doctors, understanding issues like NHS pensions, locum income, and private practice. Check that they are registered with HMRC for agent services, and ask about their approach to tax planning and deadlines. A good accountant will offer proactive advice and be accessible throughout the year, not just at tax return time.
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. They will identify all allowable expenses, such as professional subscriptions, indemnity insurance, and equipment costs, ensuring you do not overpay tax. They can also advise on payments on account and help you plan for any tax due. This reduces stress and helps you avoid penalties from HMRC for late or incorrect submissions.
Are accountants who specialise in working with doctors more expensive?
Specialist accountants may charge a premium, but their expertise often saves you money in the long run. They understand the nuances of medical income and can identify tax reliefs that a general accountant might miss. For example, they can advise on pension annual allowance tapering and capital allowances for equipment. The fee is often outweighed by the tax savings and the time you save by not dealing with complex financial matters yourself.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are prestigious professional bodies, and their members are highly qualified. The main difference lies in their focus: ACCA has a global perspective and is popular industry and practice, whilst ICAEW is often associated with chartered accountancy in the UK, with a strong emphasis on audit and financial reporting. For most doctors, either qualification is excellent, and the choice may come down to personal preference or the firm's specialism.
Can an accountant help me with VAT registration and returns for my private practice?
Yes, if your private practice income exceeds the VAT threshold, you must register for VAT. An accountant can advise on whether to register voluntarily, help you complete the VAT registration, and prepare your VAT returns. They will also ensure you claim input VAT on eligible purchases, such as medical equipment and practice expenses. This ensures compliance with HMRC and optimises your cash flow.
How often should I meet with my accountant to review my finances?
It is advisable to meet at least twice a year: once for tax planning before the end of the tax year, and once to review your annual accounts and tax return. However, you should feel free to contact your accountant whenever you have a financial decision to make, such as buying equipment, taking on a partner, or changing your pension contributions. Regular communication ensures that your tax position is always optimised.
