The right structure depends on your income, how you are engaged and your pension plans.
| Sole trader / PAYE | Limited company | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Mainly NHS employment with occasional locum work | Substantial locum income, or where an agency requires a company |
| Tax on profits | Income Tax and Class 4 National Insurance | Corporation Tax, then tax on the salary and dividends you take |
| NHS pension | Locum work can usually be made pensionable using the locum forms | Company income is generally not pensionable in the NHS scheme |
| IR35 | Does not apply | The status of each engagement must be assessed |
| Paperwork | Annual Self Assessment | Accounts, CT600, payroll and confirmation statement |
Most doctors start on PAYE through an NHS employer, but few stay that simple for long. Locum shifts, private work, medico-legal reports, teaching fees and rental income all need reporting through Self Assessment, and doctors with several NHS posts often end up on the wrong tax code. We bring everything together in one accurate return and check that you have paid the right amount.
Pension growth above the annual allowance, currently £60,000, can trigger a tax charge. High earners may have a lower, tapered allowance where adjusted income exceeds £260,000. We check your pension savings statements, calculate any charge and explain whether Scheme Pays could settle it from your pension.
Depending on how you work, you may be able to claim GMC registration, approved professional subscriptions such as the BMA and royal colleges, medical indemnity, travel between work locations, equipment and relevant training. We make sure every legitimate claim is included.
Medical care by registered practitioners is usually exempt from VAT, but medico-legal reports, expert witness work and some aesthetic treatments can be standard-rated. If your private income is growing, we will check whether VAT registration applies.
