Sound familiar?

Problems we fix for salaried and resident doctors

  • "I think I'm paying too much tax because of a wrong tax code."
  • "I've never claimed my GMC, BMA or royal college fees."
  • "My extra shifts and bank work are taxed wrongly."
  • "I don't know whether I need to file a tax return."
  • "I've received a pension annual allowance letter."

What it's costing you

Leaving it unfixed is rarely free

Overpaid tax
Unclaimed expenses and wrong tax codes mean paying more than you owe, year after year.
HMRC penalties and interest
Late returns attract automatic penalties, plus interest on tax paid late.
Lost evenings
Hours spent on forms, invoices and spreadsheets after a long shift.

General examples — your position depends on your own figures.

Your questions answered

What does a specialist medical accountant do?

A specialist medical accountant understands NHS pay, the NHS Pension Scheme, locum IR35 rules and the VAT treatment of health services. That means fewer errors and earlier warnings, such as an annual allowance charge or a Making Tax Digital deadline, than a general accountant would usually give.

How much does a medical accountant cost?

Our packages for free tax review for doctors & healthcare professionals 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.

What qualifications should a medical accountant have?

A specialist medical accountant should hold a recognised UK chartership, such as ACA or ACCA. These qualifications ensure they adhere to strict professional and ethical standards. At Medical.Accountants by ACCOTAX, our professionals are fully qualified to handle complex healthcare tax issues. Specialized knowledge in NHS pensions and medical VAT is also essential.

Why use a specialist rather than a general accountant?

How easy is it to switch accountants?

Switching takes minutes on your side. You sign our engagement letter, we contact your previous accountant for professional clearance and records, and we take over HMRC and Companies House authorisations. You can switch mid-year; we pick up from the last filed return.

What questions should I ask before appointing an accountant?

You should ask if they offer fixed fees agreed in writing and if they specialise in the healthcare sector. Confirm if they provide a remote UK-wide service and how quickly they can onboard new clients. Medical.Accountants typically completes onboarding within 48 hours. Ensure they have experience handling specific NHS pension and superannuation complexities.

Packages for your working life

Accountancy packages for doctors

Self-employed income, a limited company, PAYE or a mixture: start with the support that matches how you actually work. We check your status and agree the scope and fee before starting.

Self-employed accountants for doctors packages

For genuine sole-trader income. We prepare your business accounts and Self Assessment, review allowable expenses and explain payments on account.

  • Sole-trader accounts and personal tax return
  • Allowable business expenses reviewed
  • Tax reserve and payment deadline guidance
  • MTD support scoped separately where required

Fixed fee quoted after a review

Discuss this package

Company packages from £45.83 + VAT / month

Compare company packages

Personal tax return packages for doctors

For employed clinicians, partners and people with mixed income who need a return. We check whether Self Assessment is required and reconcile the relevant income, expenses and pension tax information.

  • Self Assessment requirement checked
  • PAYE and other income reconciled
  • Eligible employment expenses reviewed
  • Pension tax work agreed separately where needed

Fixed fee quoted after a review

Discuss this package

Employment status is determined by the facts, not the package you choose. PAYE, umbrella and partnership arrangements may also apply. A limited company does not override IR35 or off-payroll rules, and not every employed clinician needs a tax return.

Overpaid tax?

Tax refund support for doctors

We review tax codes, eligible professional expenses and overpaid tax, then prepare a claim where you qualify. A refund is not guaranteed; HMRC decides the claim.

£249 + VAT

For refunds up to £5,000, our fee is £249 plus VAT. For refunds above £5,000, add 5% of only the amount above £5,000 to the £249 fee. VAT applies to the total professional fee.

Example: a £6,000 refund means £249 + £50 = £299 plus VAT.

Ask about a tax refund

This illustrates the fee only, not whether you qualify or how much HMRC will refund. We agree the claim scope and payment terms before work starts.
