Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
Switching accountants
Changing accountant is simpler than most people fear. You authorise the new firm, which writes to the old one for professional clearance and your records; the outgoing accountant must hand over your own documents and usually does within two weeks. The new firm registers as your agent with HMRC and picks up the next filing. There is no need to wait for a year end.
Closing a company
A solvent company that has finished its purpose can be dissolved by voluntary strike-off: form DS01 with a £13 Companies House fee, after three months without trading and with all debts paid, final accounts and tax return filed, and assets distributed. HMRC objects to any application where returns or tax are outstanding, so the sequence matters more than the form.
Dormant companies
Dormancy is a status that is easy to lose. The strict rule is no accounting transactions other than share capital and Companies House fees, which means no bank account activity at all in practice. Fees should be paid personally by the director. A company that traded and has stopped becomes dormant only after its final trading accounts and tax return are filed and HMRC is told.
The trading and property allowances
Not every small income needs a tax return. The trading allowance exempts the first £1,000 of self-employment or casual income and the property allowance does the same for rental income, each measured on gross receipts. They cannot be combined with rent-a-room relief on the same income, and claiming the allowance means giving up the expense deduction for that source.
Employer National Insurance
Since April 2025 employer National Insurance has been 15% on earnings above a £5,000 secondary threshold, a substantial increase for small employers. The Employment Allowance rose to £10,500 at the same time to soften it for the smallest businesses. Directors deciding their own salary weigh this cost against the Corporation Tax deduction a salary provides.
Workplace pensions and auto-enrolment
Auto-enrolment duties begin the day you take on your first employee, not when the Pensions Regulator writes to you. Eligible staff must be enrolled, contributions paid every pay period and re-enrolment carried out every three years. Director-only companies without employment contracts are usually exempt. Fines for non-compliance are fixed and escalating.
Record keeping
Good records are the difference between a quick enquiry and a long one. For the self-employed, five years after the filing deadline; for companies, six years from the year end; for VAT, six years. Photographs of receipts, PDF statements and software exports all count. The requirement is to keep records, not paper, and a well-organised cloud folder satisfies it.
Questions
Locum Accountants questions from Feltham
What is the annual allowance and does it affect me?
The annual allowance limits tax-relieved pension growth to £60,000 a year, tapering down to £10,000 for those with adjusted income over £260,000 and threshold income over £200,000. NHS pension growth is measured on the increase in the promised pension, which can be large in a high-earning year. We check it and report any charge or scheme pays election.
What expenses can locums claim?
Professional indemnity insurance, registration fees to the GMC, GDC, GPhC or equivalent, exam fees and courses that maintain skills, medical equipment, professional subscriptions and journals, travel between placements (not ordinary commuting to a regular workplace), a proportion of home costs for administration, and accountancy. We review each category.
Is travel between practices claimable?
For a locum working at many different sites, travel from home to each temporary place of work is generally allowable because there is no permanent workplace. For a regular session at the same practice over a long period, that site may become a permanent workplace and the travel ordinary commuting. We assess each engagement pattern.
How do you handle a mix of NHS employment and locum work?
Employment income is taxed through PAYE and shown on the employment pages; locum income is self-employment on the self-employment pages. The return brings them together and your marginal rate applies to the combined figure. Payments on account are often triggered by locum income on top of employment. We reconcile all sources.
What does the £69 sole trader locum package include?
Monthly bookkeeping of all engagement income and expenses, reconciliation of pay statements and remittance advices, NHS pension contribution tracking, a monthly summary with the tax accruing, your Self Assessment with the self-employment and any employment pages prepared and filed, and payments on account calculated.
What does the £95 company package include?
Monthly bookkeeping, director payroll with RTI submissions, dividend paperwork, statutory accounts and CT600 filed, the confirmation statement filed (Companies House £50 fee separate), and deadline tracking. Your personal Self Assessment is added at the published £129 where needed, often necessary because of NHS employment income.
