Accountants for NHS Doctors
If you are an NHS doctor or consultant, your financial life is not simple. You spend your days (and nights!) saving lives and helping people. The last thing you need is to come home and deal with the absolute nightmare of NHS specific accounting.
All these things are too complicated. Right? The NHS pension scheme alone is enough to make your head spin.
That’s exactly where we step in. At Accotax, we’ve specialist accountants for NHS doctors who have worked closely with NHS doctors and consultants across the UK.
Why NHS Doctors Need Specialist Accountants?
NHS pay isn’t simple. One month you’re on your usual salary, next month you’ve done extra shifts, then some locum sessions, maybe a bit of private work… and suddenly there are four different income streams with four different tax rules.
It’s very easy to miss something or end up paying more tax than you need to.
And then there’s the NHS pension, annual allowance, tax charges, contribution tiers, it all feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces.
That’s why working with someone who understands the NHS system properly makes a real difference.

FAQs - Accountants for NHS Doctors
Why do NHS doctors need specialist accountants?
NHS doctors often have complex income streams — salaried NHS pay, locum work, private practice plus tax-relievable expenses. Specialist accountants make sure your records are accurate, expenses claimed correctly, and HMRC obligations met so you can focus on patient care.
What accounting services do you provide specifically for NHS doctors?
We offer bookkeeping, tax-return preparation (self-assessment), payroll / PAYE advice, VAT planning, cash-flow forecasting, and business advisory for NHS-employed and self-employed medical professionals.
Can I claim for mileage when working in different NHS hospitals?
Yes, if you travel between NHS sites or temporary workplaces, you may be able to claim business mileage. Approved HMRC rates apply, but you must keep accurate mileage records.
Do you help NHS doctors with tax planning for mixed income (NHS + private/locum)?
Absolutely. We help structure your income, maximise tax efficiency, advise on pension contributions (including NHS pension), and plan for taxation across different income streams.
How do you manage tax relief on professional subscriptions and indemnity insurance?
We track and claim tax relief for professional fees (e.g. GMC, BMA) and indemnity insurance, ensuring that these are correctly recorded as allowable expenses under HMRC rules.
Is capital allowance relief available for medical equipment used by NHS doctors?
Yes, if you use medical apparatus (stethoscopes, diagnostic tools) personally for professional work and not reimbursed, some capital allowances may apply under HMRC’s rules.
How can an NHS doctor get started with your accounting service?
Simply request a callback or instant quote through our website. We’ll discuss your employment structure, financial goals, and tailor a package to help you save tax, stay compliant, and manage your accounting stress-free.
