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
Striking off a company is cheap but must be done in order: stop trading, file the final accounts and CT600, pay the tax, close VAT and PAYE, distribute the remaining assets, close the bank account, then apply. Anything left in the company at dissolution passes to the Crown. Distributions up to £25,000 are taxed as capital gains; above that a formal liquidation is usually needed to keep capital treatment.
Record keeping
Record keeping is a legal obligation with a penalty of up to £3,000 for failure, but its real value is in making every other filing cheaper and more defensible. Keep invoices, receipts, bank statements, mileage logs and any HMRC correspondence, digitally if you like, for five years after the relevant filing deadline for individuals and six years for companies and VAT.
Allowable expenses
The expenses sole traders most often miss are home working costs, claimed by actual proportion or HMRC's flat rate, the business share of phone and internet, mileage at 45p for the first 10,000 business miles, and training that maintains existing skills. The ones most often claimed wrongly are commuting, entertaining customers and clothes that could be worn outside work.
Crypto records and reporting
HMRC treats cryptoassets as property. Swapping one token for another, spending crypto or gifting it are all disposals for Capital Gains Tax, and staking and lending rewards are income. Gains are computed under pooling rules with same-day and 30-day matching. From 2026 HMRC receives data from exchanges worldwide under the Cryptoasset Reporting Framework, so unreported activity is increasingly visible.
The 60-day property CGT return
Selling UK residential property that was not your main home for the whole period of ownership triggers a separate Capital Gains Tax return, due within 60 days of completion along with payment of the tax. This is in addition to the annual Self Assessment. The gain is taxed at 18% or 24% depending on your income band, after the £3,000 annual exempt amount.
Dormant companies
A dormant company is one with no significant accounting transactions in the year, where the only permitted entries are the payment for shares on incorporation, Companies House fees and penalties. It still files a confirmation statement and simplified dormant accounts every year. A bank charge or an accountant's fee paid from the company ends dormancy and requires full accounts.
Questions
Locum Accountants questions from Kelsey and Eden Park
What is the annual-only option?
For £199 we prepare your Self Assessment from the records you keep yourself, including the reconciliation of your engagement income and pension contributions. It suits locums with a small number of regular engagements who are organised. If records are incomplete, the monthly package is usually better value.
Do locum pharmacists and dentists have the same pension issues?
Dental associates and performers pension their NHS earnings through the dental pension arrangements with annual reconciliation statements; locum pharmacists generally have no NHS pension on locum income. Each profession has its own regime and we handle the specific paperwork for yours.
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.
Should a locum work through a limited company?
It depends on the work. GP locum income is pensionable in the NHS scheme only when earned as an individual, so incorporating loses pension accrual on that income. Private work and some agency work suit a company better. Off-payroll rules apply to engagements with NHS bodies through your company. We run the comparison for your mix of work.
How does the NHS pension work for a GP locum?
Locum GPs pension their income through Locum Forms A and B, submitted to the pensions agency within ten weeks of the work, with employee contributions deducted and employer contributions paid by the practice or ICB. A Type 2 certificate reconciles the year. Missing the ten-week window loses the pension on that income. We track it.
Which deadlines matter most for locum accountants?
The next four dates that apply to locum accountants are shown at the top of this page, calculated from today. For Kelsey and Eden Park clients we diarise every one of them from the day you join and send reminders before each, so the work is done in good time rather than in the last week before a penalty.
