Frequently asked questions
What specific tax issues do accountants for doctors typically handle?
Accountants for doctors commonly deal with Self Assessment tax returns, pension annual allowance calculations, and the tax implications of multiple income sources such as NHS pay, private work, and locum shifts. They also assist with expenses that are unique to medical professionals, such as indemnity insurance, professional memberships, and equipment costs. By understanding these specific areas, they help ensure that you are not paying more tax than necessary and that you remain compliant with HMRC requirements.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW accountant help with HMRC enquiries?
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your tax affairs, an ACCA or ICAEW accountant can act as your representative and manage all communication with the tax authority. They will prepare the necessary documentation, explain the process to you, and ensure that your rights are protected throughout. Their professional expertise and knowledge of tax law mean they can respond to HMRC effectively, often resolving issues without the need for you to become directly involved. This support is invaluable for reducing stress and achieving a fair outcome.
Do I need an accountant if I am a locum doctor?
Yes, as a locum doctor you are likely to be self-employed for tax purposes, which means you are responsible for completing a Self Assessment tax return each year. An accountant who specialises in working with doctors can help you keep accurate records, claim all allowable expenses, and set aside the correct amount of tax and National Insurance. They can also advise you on whether operating through a limited company or as a sole trader is the most tax-efficient structure for your circumstances.
What is the difference between a chartered accountant and a certified accountant?
Chartered accountants are typically members of ICAEW or ICAS, while certified accountants are members of ACCA. Both qualifications require rigorous training and examinations, and both are recognised by HMRC as capable of providing tax and accounting services. The main difference lies in the professional body and the specific focus of the training. When choosing an accountant, it is more important to look for someone with experience in the medical sector than to focus solely on the designation.
How often should I meet with my accountant to review my finances?
It is advisable to meet with your accountant at least once a year to review your tax return and discuss any significant changes in your income or circumstances. However, many doctors benefit from more frequent contact, especially if they are considering major financial decisions such as buying a practice, changing their pension contributions, or restructuring their business. A proactive accountant will schedule regular check-ins to ensure that your tax planning remains up to date and that you are taking advantage of any new reliefs or allowances.
Can an accountant help me with VAT if I run a private medical practice?
Yes, if your private practice's taxable turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold, you must register for VAT and submit regular VAT returns. An accountant with experience in the medical field can advise you on whether you need to register, help you choose the most suitable VAT scheme, and ensure that your returns are accurate and submitted on time. They can also identify whether any of your services are exempt from VAT, which could reduce your administrative burden and potentially save you money.
