Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my medical practice?
When selecting an accountant, prioritise qualifications from recognised bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Look for experience with doctors, including handling Self Assessment, pension contributions, and private practice income. Check that they offer proactive advice on tax planning and that they are registered with HMRC to file returns electronically. A good accountant will also be accessible throughout the year, not just at tax deadline time.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant will ensure your Self Assessment tax return is accurate and submitted on time, avoiding penalties. They will help you identify all allowable expenses, such as professional indemnity insurance, medical equipment, and home office costs. They can also advise on payments on account and ensure that you are not overpaying tax. By using a professional, you reduce the risk of errors and HMRC enquiries.
Are accountants who are ACCA or ICAEW members better than others?
Membership of ACCA or ICAEW indicates that the accountant has passed rigorous exams and adheres to strict professional standards. These bodies require ongoing continuing professional development and have robust ethical codes. While not a guarantee of perfection, it provides a strong assurance of competence and reliability. Many doctors prefer such qualifications for peace of mind, as they also allow the accountant to act as your agent before HMRC.
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 will advise on the best VAT scheme for your situation, such as flat rate or standard accounting. They will handle your VAT returns, ensure you claim input tax correctly, and keep you compliant with HMRC. They can also help you plan for the impact of VAT on your fees.
What is the difference between a tax return and a Corporation Tax return?
A tax return, or Self Assessment, is filed by individuals, including self-employed doctors, to report income and gains. Corporation Tax is a tax on the profits of limited companies, which some doctors use for their private practice. A Corporation Tax return must be filed with HMRC, and the company pays tax on its taxable profits. An accountant will prepare both, ensuring compliance with deadlines and regulations.
How often should I meet with my accountant for financial planning?
It is advisable to meet at least twice a year: once before the tax year end to plan and once after to review your tax position. However, you should contact your accountant whenever you have significant changes, such as new income sources, buying property, or restructuring your practice. Regular communication ensures that you benefit from ongoing tax-saving opportunities and stay ahead of any legislative changes.
