Problems we fix for GP partners and practices

  • "Our partnership accounts and profit shares are a headache every year."
  • "The Type 1 certificate and pension year-end deadline always sneak up on us."
  • "I've received an annual allowance charge letter."
  • "Partners draw too much and there's nothing left for tax."
  • "A partner is leaving and a new one is joining."
  • "Reconciling PCN and ARRS funding takes forever."

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.

What to know before you decide

Hospitals: Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital

We act for GPs and GP practices in Exeter working at Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital. Many clinicians work across more than one of these sites or combine NHS posts with private lists, so we reconcile every payslip, bank or agency payment and private invoice into one return. Travel between work sites is usually allowable business mileage; travel from home to a regular workplace is not.

Commuter areas: Exeter, Topsham, Exmouth, Crediton

Clients often live in Exeter, Topsham, Exmouth, Crediton and travel in for shifts. Where you live does not change how you are taxed, but it can affect which journeys are allowable, whether a home office is a genuine workplace, and which local practices and clinics you take sessions at.

GP partners, salaried and locum GPs, PCN context, locum A/B forms and practice accounts

This is one of the questions we work through with GPs and GP practices in Exeter at the start of every engagement. We look at your real income, contracts and records, set out the options in plain English and confirm the work and fee in writing.

Travel/mileage between sites

Allowable costs include HMRC-approved professional registrations and subscriptions, indemnity where you pay it, business mileage between workplaces and equipment used for work. Ordinary commuting and personal costs are not allowable. Employees claim through HMRC; the self-employed deduct costs in their accounts.

What is a Type 1 pension certificate and when is it due?

GP partners report NHS pensionable profit to the scheme each year on a certificate based on the practice accounts; locum GPs use the locum A and B forms to pay contributions on each piece of pensionable work. Late or wrong forms cause missing service and incorrect pension records. We prepare the figures and check them against the accounts before submission.

How much should GP partners set aside for tax from drawings?

GP partners should generally set aside a significant portion of their monthly drawings to cover future tax liabilities. Payments on account are due on 31 January and 31 July each year. Your specific percentage depends on your total earnings and other income sources. We calculate these liabilities in advance to help you manage cash flow.

Why is my first tax bill as a locum so high (payments on account)?

Your first bill often includes the tax for the previous year plus the first payment on account for the following year. Payments on account are due on 31 January and 31 July. Each payment is normally half of the previous year's total tax liability. This can effectively result in paying 150% of your tax in one go.

What is the difference between drawings and taxable profit?

Taxable profit is the total income minus allowable business expenses, regardless of what you took out. Drawings are the actual cash sums you withdraw from the business for personal use. You are taxed on the profit earned, not the amount of drawings taken. If drawings exceed profit, you are essentially withdrawing your own capital.

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 GPs

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.
