Podiatry Accountants

Accountants for Podiatrists and Chiropodists

Fixed-fee accounting and tax support for self-employed podiatrists and chiropodists, whether you run your own clinic, work as an associate, or see patients on a home-visit basis, covering self assessment, VAT and Making Tax Digital, UK-wide.

Podiatry and chiropody practices are often built around a mix of clinic days, home visits for less mobile patients, and treating for GP or care home referrals, which makes for a busier set of books than a typical sole trader. We work with self-employed podiatrists and chiropodists across the UK, keeping your HCPC registration, equipment, travel and clinic costs properly recorded, so you always know where your practice stands.

We prepare and submit your self assessment tax return, bringing together clinic income, home-visit fees and any care home or GP referral work into one accurate return.

We keep your practice books up to date, reconciling patient payments, equipment purchases and travel costs so your accounts are always built on accurate, current records.

Whether you are taking on your first treatment room or expanding to a second location, we advise on the right business structure and handle the registrations involved.

Many podiatry and chiropody services provided by an HCPC-registered practitioner qualify for the VAT health and welfare exemption. We review your specific services and advise on how the rules apply to you.

From nail surgery equipment and sterilisation costs to HCPC fees, indemnity insurance and home-visit mileage, we make sure your practice claims everything it is entitled to.

If you take on a second practitioner or reception support, we run your payroll so PAYE and National Insurance are calculated and reported correctly and on time.

Common questions from podiatrists and chiropodists

Straightforward answers to the questions we’re asked most.

Yes. If you treat patients privately, whether in a clinic, a rented treatment room, or on home visits, outside of PAYE employment, you need to register for self assessment with HMRC. We can register you and confirm your filing deadlines.

Common allowable expenses include HCPC registration fees, professional body membership, indemnity insurance, nail surgery and treatment equipment, sterilisation and consumables, clinic or room rent, and mileage for home visits. We help you keep accurate records and claim what you are entitled to.

Most podiatrists and chiropodists start out as sole traders. A limited company can become worthwhile once your income grows or you take on staff and additional treatment rooms. We talk through the tax and administrative differences based on your plans.

Many podiatry and chiropody services provided by a registered practitioner for the primary purpose of protecting, maintaining or restoring a patient’s health qualify for the VAT health and welfare exemption, regardless of turnover. We review your specific services and advise accordingly.

HMRC allows a fixed mileage rate for business journeys in your own vehicle. We show you a simple way to log your visits as you go, so the figures are ready and accurate for your tax return.

Yes. We combine income from every source, along with any tax already deducted at source, into a single self assessment return, making sure nothing is taxed twice and every allowable expense is claimed.
