Are you a locum doctor navigating the complexities of self-employment, agency contracts, or limited company setup? Whether you're a GP, hospital doctor, or specialist working locum shifts, managing your tax obligations can be overwhelming. As a specialist accountant for locum doctors, CoreAdviz offers full-service accounting for locum GPs, nurses, and healthcare professionals in and around London. From setting up your limited company to handling your Self Assessment and payroll, we stand beside you every step of the way — with the best cloud accounting software so you can check your finances anytime, anywhere.


Today, many locum doctors — particularly GPs — juggle three or more contracts simultaneously to repay student loans and build financial security. The tax challenges for a locum doctor are unique: multiple income sources, IR35 considerations, pension contributions, and allowable expenses all need careful management. Our specialist accountants for locum doctors understand the NHS and private sector landscape, and can help you identify the most tax-efficient structure — whether that's sole trader, umbrella company, or your own limited company — to maximise your take-home pay.
While locum doctors working exclusively through NHS Professionals or an umbrella agency may have basic tax handled for them, those setting up their own limited company — or earning above the Self Assessment threshold — need a specialist accountant for locum doctor work. At CoreAdviz, we provide complete accounting services for locum doctors including limited company formation, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT registration, and annual Self Assessment tax returns. Engage us on a simple monthly package and focus on your medical career while we handle the numbers.
CoreAdviz is a specialist accountant for locum doctors across London and the UK, offering quality tax and accounting services tailored to the evolving rules governing locum doctor work. Whether you're a locum GP, a hospital consultant, or a locum nurse, our support services include:

The inflow of funds can be recorded when a bill is raised or the actual amount is received. Maintain a single standard throughout.

Invoices play an important role in determining your tax liability. Keeping them organized and chronologically minimizes the changes of computation errors.

Tax invoices and receipts of the last 5 years are required to be preserved. In case the HMRC wants to verify data, they will ask for previous receipts.

As an entity your taxation will depend on your size. If your eCommerce is a private limited company, then its taxation policy will be different from self-employed and partnership.
