Medical guides for UK doctors
Six in-depth guides written by specialist GP accountants and medical accounting professionals. NHS pension annual allowance, GP partnership accounts, consultant private practice tax, locum structure, medical expenses, and IR35. No generic tax advice: every guide is specific to the UK medical profession.
NHS Pension Annual Allowance: A Complete Guide for UK Doctors
The NHS pension annual allowance is one of the most misunderstood areas of medical finance. This guide explains pension input amounts, the tapered allowance, Scheme Pays, and carry-forward in plain terms.
Consultant Private Practice Tax: A Complete Guide
Managing NHS salary alongside private practice income creates a complex tax picture. This guide covers the right income treatment, when to incorporate your private practice, medico-legal work, and NHS pension planning for consultants.
GP Partnership Accounts: What Every GP Partner Needs to Know
GP partnership accounts are more complex than most accountants assume. This guide covers profit allocation, NHS superannuation, notional rent, the basis period reform, and how individual partners file their tax returns.
Locum Doctor: Limited Company vs Umbrella vs Sole Trader
The choice between limited company, umbrella, and sole trader determines how much of your locum income you keep. This guide explains when each structure wins, how IR35 interacts with the decision, and what the real take-home difference looks like.
Medical Expenses: What Doctors Can Claim on Tax
Most doctors we onboard are under-claiming expenses. This guide lists what HMRC accepts for GPs, consultants, locums, and junior doctors, with the supporting rules and common pitfalls.
IR35 for Locum Doctors: Status, Risk, and Practical Guidance
IR35 is one of the most misunderstood areas of locum doctor tax. This guide explains how the tests apply to medical engagements, what the NHS agency SDS process means for you, and what to do if you receive an inside-IR35 determination.
