Your questions, answered
- What does an accountant for hair transplant clinics do?
- An accountant for hair transplant clinics 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.
- Is VAT charged on hair transplants?
- Treatment by a registered health professional is VAT exempt only where its main purpose is to protect, maintain or restore health. Purely cosmetic treatments, including most injectables and many skin or hair procedures, are standard-rated, as the Upper Tribunal confirmed in Illuminate Skin Clinics v HMRC in 2025. Each treatment line needs its own assessment.
- How should surgeons be engaged by a clinic?
- It depends on your circumstances. Our team reviews your income, structure and records and confirms the right approach for hair transplant clinics in writing as part of your fixed-fee service.
- How much does an accountant for hair transplant clinics cost?
- Our packages for hair transplant clinics 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 hair transplant clinics 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. Hair transplant clinics 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.
