Your questions, answered
- What does an accountant for doctors emigrating from the UK do?
- An accountant for doctors emigrating from the UK prepares your accounts and tax returns, keeps you compliant with HMRC deadlines and advises on the decisions specific to your work: how income is structured, which expenses are allowable, VAT where it applies and, for NHS scheme members, pension tax. At Medical.Accountants the work is quoted as a fixed monthly fee, agreed in writing before we start.
- Do I pay UK tax after moving abroad as a doctor?
- It depends on your circumstances. Our team reviews your income, structure and records and confirms the right approach for doctors emigrating from the UK in writing as part of your fixed-fee service.
- What happens to my NHS pension if I emigrate?
- Most NHS doctors and many healthcare staff are members of the NHS Pension Scheme. Contributions are deducted through payroll, and locum or private work can count only through the correct forms. High earners should check the annual allowance each year, as pension growth can trigger a tax charge.
- How much does an accountant for doctors emigrating from the UK cost?
- Our packages for doctors emigrating from the UK start at £45.83 + VAT a month, with Core at £62.50 and Growth at £75 + VAT. The right package depends on your income sources, whether you trade through a company and any payroll, VAT or pension work. We confirm the exact fee in writing before any work begins, so there are no surprise invoices.
- Do doctors emigrating from the UK need to comply with Making Tax Digital?
- Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies from 6 April 2026 to sole traders and landlords whose qualifying income (gross self-employment plus property income) is over £50,000, falling to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. PAYE salary does not count. Doctors emigrating from the UK trading through a limited company or a partnership are not brought in yet. We set up compatible software and file the quarterly updates for you.
