Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
The VAT registration threshold
Watching the rolling twelve-month turnover figure is one of the quiet jobs of monthly bookkeeping, because the £90,000 VAT threshold arrives silently. Crossing it brings quarterly returns, Making Tax Digital software and a decision about schemes. Crossing it late brings a bill for VAT you could not recover from customers and a penalty for failing to notify.
Corporation Tax rates and marginal relief
Corporation Tax is not a flat rate. Profits to £50,000 pay 19%, profits above £250,000 pay 25%, and the band between is taxed at an effective marginal rate of 26.5% through the marginal relief mechanism. Associated companies share the thresholds, which catches directors who own more than one company and is the most common cause of underpaid tax in owner-managed groups.
Salary versus dividends
The salary-and-dividend split is the central planning decision for an owner-managed company. Salary costs employer National Insurance above £5,000 but is deductible; dividends are not deductible but attract lower personal rates and no National Insurance. The optimum changes each April with the thresholds and depends on the director's other income, so it should be set deliberately every year.
Switching accountants
You can switch accountant at any point in the year. The new firm requests clearance and your records from the old one, which cannot withhold your own documents though it may hold its own working papers until its fees are settled. Agent authorisations with HMRC and Companies House are transferred, and the next deadline is picked up without a gap.
Director's loan accounts
A director's loan account records money moving between a director and the company that is not salary or dividend. If the director owes the company money nine months and one day after the year end, the company pays section 455 tax at 35.75% of the balance, refundable only when the loan is repaid. Loans over £10,000 are also a benefit in kind unless interest is charged at HMRC's official rate.
Closing a company
Voluntary strike-off is available only to solvent companies. One that owes money it cannot pay needs a creditors' voluntary liquidation through a licensed insolvency practitioner, and directors who dissolve an insolvent company face personal consequences. For a solvent company the process takes three to four months from filing the DS01, with notice to creditors and shareholders within seven days.
The Self Assessment calendar
Four dates govern Self Assessment: 5 October to register, 31 October for paper returns, 31 January to file online and pay, and 31 July for the second payment on account. Missing the January date triggers an automatic £100 penalty before any tax is even considered, so we treat it as the fixed point around which the rest of the year is planned.
Questions
Locum Accountants questions from Motspur Park
Can you handle the NHS pension estimate of earnings and the Type 2 form?
Yes. The estimate of pensionable earnings submitted at the start of each year sets your contribution rate; the Type 2 certificate reconciles the actual figures after the year end and is due by the end of February. Both are prepared from the records we keep and submitted on your behalf.
I do private work alongside NHS sessions. How is that treated?
Private practice income is self-employment, not pensionable in the NHS scheme, and taxed with your other self-employed income. If the private work is substantial it may suit a limited company while the NHS locum work stays as a sole trader, and we advise on running both structures together.
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.
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 Motspur 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.
