Medical Accountants for Doctors
BNW Accountants provide detailed accounting services to doctors, UK medical professionals, from tax planning and NHS pension guidance to IR35 compliance and practice incorporation support. Our medical accountants can identify sector-specific savings that others miss and help you maximize income while maintaining HMRC compliance.
Our specialized accounting services help medical professionals direct themselves through complex financial challenges with confidence. We revolutionize intricate NHS pension calculations, IR35 compliance requirements and multi-stream income management into straightforward solutions that maximize your financial outcomes.
Types of Doctors and Medical Specialists We Work With
Our accounting services span the full spectrum of medical professionals practicing throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. We work with over 300 GP practices and support more than 2,600 medical professionals in specialties of all types.
General Practitioners
We prepare annual accounts meeting national guidelines, calculate profit allocations, and prepare partnership self-assessment tax returns for General Practitioners. GP partners face distinct financial complexities that require specialized knowledge. Partnership structures involve profit allocation calculations, drawing schedules, and shared financial decision-making.
Salaried GPs and Managers
Salaried GPs have combinations of self-employment and employment income. Gross earnings are based on medical income from self-employment sources plus all employment income. We handle Type 2 Superannuation Certificates and help plan for future financial goals. Practice managers carry huge responsibility ranges and must keep abreast of constant changes. They require dedicated accounting support to manage practice finances.
Locum Physicians
Locum physicians who operate through umbrella companies or limited structures must manage business and financial aspects. This includes annual tax return submission. Multiple income streams from hospitals, clinics, and private practice require careful management to ensure tax efficiency and compliance. We provide expert advice on IR35 compliance for doctors working through limited companies or agencies.
Hospital Consultants
Consultants manage complex income arrangements from multiple sources. Various allowances interact across NHS employment and private practice streams. Our specialist medical accountants provide tailored advice to ensure compliance while optimizing tax efficiency.
Registrars
Registrars need assistance to ensure tax codes remain correct and claim relief on professional subscriptions paid to bodies such as GMC and BMA. Moving between different employers causes registrars to underpay tax, and this creates unexpected liabilities that we help reduce and prevent.
Private Medical Practitioners
Private healthcare providers need specialized structuring for tax purposes and getting Employing Authority status. You might split time between NHS and private work or operate in private practice alone. Either way, we offer tailored support to ensure accounts and tax remain in order.
Our Accounting Services for Doctors
Professional financial management is the backbone of successful medical practice operations. Our specialist accountants deliver end-to-end support across six core service areas. Each one addresses the distinct requirements medical professionals encounter throughout their careers.
Bookkeeping
Accurate financial records throughout the year simplify compliance and support informed decisions. We track patient transactions and manage payment methods that include direct deposits and healthcare insurance payments. We generate complete revenue statements and balance sheets. Cloud-based accounting software provides access to financial data in real time. This reduces manual entry errors and streamlines expense categorization.
Tax Returns Preparation
Our team coordinates personal returns for individual GP partners and manages partnership submissions. Everyone meets deadlines without last-minute surprises. Self-assessment obligations arise when doctors earn over £1,000 as sole traders, operate as business partners, or receive untaxed income from property, tips, savings, or foreign sources. We handle preparation and submission to maximize savings.
Monthly Payroll
Healthcare payroll includes tracking hours worked and calculating differential pay for night and weekend shifts. It also means managing taxes and deductions and administering benefits packages. We handle PAYE for practice staff that includes salaried GPs, retainer GPs, nurse practitioners, and dispensary personnel. Automated systems ensure accurate and timely compensation. They maintain compliance with Fair Labor Standards Act and Affordable Care Act requirements.
Annual Accounts
We compile complete financial statements. These include balance sheets that break down the overall financial position at year-end and profit and loss statements that categorize all NHS and non-NHS income and expenses. We also provide distribution calculations and detailed notes that explain the most important equipment purchases or surgery refurbishments.
Practice Incorporation Services
Partnerships that transition into limited companies gain liability protection and tax efficiency opportunities. We guide practices through CCG approval processes and draft shareholders agreements and articles. We advise on optimal ownership structures and manage contractual novations.
VAT
Mandatory registration applies when taxable supplies exceed £90,000 a year. Dispensing practices face compulsory registration as dispensing income qualifies as zero-rated. We prepare monthly or quarterly returns and apply partial exemption calculations for mixed taxable and exempt income. We maximize recoverable input tax within HMRC guidelines.

Why UK Doctors Choose Us
Tax optimization strategies enable medical professionals to retain more of their hard-earned income through legitimate deductions and relief claims. Our services for doctors go beyond simple compliance to proactive planning that reduces liabilities and maintains full regulatory adherence.
- Optimizing Tax Relief
- CPD and Professional Development Costs
- Expense Claims for Doctors
- Self-Assessment Tax Returns
Annual Investment Allowance permits 100% cost deduction for qualifying equipment purchases up to £1 million each year. Medical equipment, office technology, and fixtures qualify for immediate relief. Writing down allowances provide ongoing relief at 18% per year for main pool assets once AIA limits are exceeded.
Training expenses qualify if contractual duties mandate external courses as intrinsic employment components. Doctors on training contracts who undertake mandatory training and exams can claim course costs, exam fees, and associated travel expenses. Update courses without contractual obligations remain non-allowable, as do revision courses.
Professional registration fees and approved body subscriptions qualify for tax relief. These include GMC registration, Royal College subscriptions, and medical defense organization premiums from MDU, MPS, or MDDUS. Medical indemnity insurance premiums remain deductible. Equipment purchases specific to medical practice reduce taxable income. Stethoscopes and diagnostic tools fall under this category. Home office costs qualify if administrative work takes place at home, with business proportion of phone and broadband expenses claimable. Accountancy and professional advisory fees attract relief.
HMRC registration becomes mandatory for self-employed earnings that exceed £1,000, business partnership operations, or untaxed income from sources like property rental, tips, savings, or foreign earnings. Most doctors require self-assessment filing due to private practice income, clinical trials, medico-legal work, or expert witness fees. Personal allowance tapering begins once total income surpasses £100,000, and this makes registration necessary. Doctors earning both NHS and private income must report all sources. HMRC can then calculate total liability and confirm correct tax code application throughout the year.
