Frequently asked questions
What specific tax reliefs can an accountant for doctors help me claim?
An accountant specialising in doctors will help you claim all legitimate expenses, including indemnity insurance, medical defence union fees, professional subscriptions, and costs for courses or conferences. They will also ensure you claim capital allowances on any equipment you purchase, such as a stethoscope or computer. By keeping accurate records and understanding HMRC rules, they maximise your allowable deductions and reduce your tax bill.
How do I choose between an ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT qualified accountant?
All three qualifications indicate a high level of competence, but they differ in focus. ACCA and ICAEW accountants are fully qualified chartered or certified accountants, able to handle complex tax and audit work. AAT accountants are qualified in bookkeeping and basic tax, suitable for simpler affairs. For doctors with a limited company or partnership, an ACCA or ICAEW professional is often the best choice.
Do I need to be VAT-registered as a doctor?
Most doctors are not VAT-registered because their services are exempt from VAT. However, if you provide private services that are taxable, or if your turnover exceeds the VAT threshold, you may need to register. An accountant will assess your specific situation and advise you on whether registration is necessary. They will also handle your VAT returns and ensure you comply with HMRC requirements.
What is the difference between Self Assessment and Corporation Tax for doctors?
Self Assessment is used by self-employed doctors, such as locums, to report their income and pay tax and National Insurance. Corporation Tax is paid by limited companies on their profits, and the company's directors then pay tax on dividends or salary. Your accountant will help you decide which structure is best for you and ensure you meet all filing deadlines for both HMRC and Companies House.
Can an accountant help me with my NHS pension and tax planning?
Yes, a specialist accountant for doctors will work with you to manage your NHS pension contributions effectively. They will help you understand the annual allowance and how to avoid the tapered annual allowance charge. They can also advise on salary sacrifice arrangements and other strategies to optimise your pension while minimising tax liabilities. This is a complex area that requires professional expertise.
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. The first meeting should be before the end of the tax year to plan any last-minute tax-saving measures. The second meeting should be after your tax return is filed to review your position and plan for the coming year. Your accountant may also offer quarterly reviews if your income fluctuates or you have a limited company.
