Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do accountants for doctors handle?
Accountants for doctors typically manage complex areas such as pension annual allowance calculations, which are often a significant issue for NHS consultants. They also handle the tax implications of private practice income, locum work, and any income from medical research or teaching. They will ensure your Self Assessment tax return is accurate, claim all allowable expenses, and provide strategic advice on income splitting and incorporation to minimise your overall tax liability.
Why is it beneficial to use an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
Choosing an accountant who is a member of a professional body like ACCA or ICAEW provides you with a guarantee of high professional standards and up-to-date knowledge. These qualifications require continuous professional development, ensuring your accountant is fully aware of the latest tax legislation and HMRC regulations. They also operate under a strict code of ethics, providing you with confidence and recourse should you have any issues with the service you receive.
How can an accountant help with my private practice income?
An accountant can help you structure your private practice efficiently, whether you see patients on a self-employed basis or through a limited company. They will advise on the most tax-efficient way to draw income, manage your VAT registration if your turnover exceeds the threshold, and ensure all your private practice expenses are correctly recorded and claimed. This proactive approach helps you retain more of your earnings whilst remaining fully compliant with HMRC.
What is the difference between an accountant and a tax return service?
A tax return service simply submits the figures you provide to HMRC, whereas a professional accountant offers a comprehensive service. This includes interpreting your financial records, identifying all available tax reliefs, and providing strategic planning advice for the future. An accountant will also act as your agent with HMRC, handling any queries or investigations on your behalf, which is a crucial level of support that a basic filing service cannot offer.
How do I know if I need to be VAT-registered for my private work?
You are required to register for VAT if your total taxable turnover for the previous 12 months exceeds the current VAT threshold, which is reviewed by HMRC. Your accountant can monitor your income levels and advise you on when registration becomes mandatory. They can also help you decide whether to register voluntarily, which can sometimes be beneficial, and will manage the entire registration process and subsequent VAT returns for you.
Can an accountant help me with an HMRC investigation or tax enquiry?
Yes, having an accountant is your best defence if HMRC opens an enquiry into your tax affairs. Your accountant will handle all communication with HMRC, prepare the necessary information and evidence to support your tax return, and represent you throughout the process. This professional representation is invaluable, as it ensures your rights are protected and reduces the stress and time you would otherwise have to dedicate to resolving the matter.
