A dentist can be self-employed, an associate, a locum, or run their own dental practice as a limited company or partnership. How you work determines how your income is taxed and what accounting responsibilities you have.
If your income from dental work exceeds your allowable expenses, allowances, and reliefs, you’ll need to pay tax on the profit by submitting a Self Assessment tax return or through Corporation Tax if operating as a company. Even if your practice runs at a loss, reporting it can be beneficial, as it may reduce future tax bills when your business becomes profitable.
As a dentist, you’ll pay income or corporation tax on the profit you make – this is your total earnings from dental work minus any allowable expenses. We ensure you’re claiming all relevant deductions and reliefs available to you, whether you’re an associate, a locum, or running your own practice.
Understanding which costs you can deduct, such as equipment, CPD, insurance, and premises expenses can be complex. We’ll guide you through the process to make sure your business is as tax-efficient as possible and fully compliant with HMRC requirements.
If you’ve taken out loans or finance for your practice setup, equipment, or refurbishment, we’ll also help ensure you’re claiming any allowable interest and finance charges that can reduce your tax bill.
Whether you’re working under the NHS, privately, or a mix of both, we tailor our advice to your situation. We regularly advise on matters like income splitting, IR35 risks for locum dentists, and the best business structure for long-term growth.
If you run your practice from home or use part of your home for admin or consultations, you may be entitled to claim part of your household costs. We’ll walk you through the allowable expenses and the best way to record them.

Selling or acquiring a dental practice comes with significant tax considerations, especially around Capital Gains Tax, goodwill valuation, and potential reliefs. We’ll help you plan ahead, calculate your liability, and complete all necessary returns to ensure you don’t pay more tax than you need to.
We’ll help you claim all the expenses you’re entitled to such as equipment, uniforms, travel, insurance, and professional fees, maximising your deductible costs and reducing your overall tax bill.
If you work across multiple practices or under different contract types, we can help you manage your income, ensure you’re paid correctly, and handle the tax implications of your working arrangements especially if you’re at risk of falling under IR35.
From dental chairs to digital scanners, major equipment purchases can qualify for capital allowances. We’ll ensure you claim these correctly and advise on the best timing for purchases to support your cash flow and tax planning.
We don’t just help you meet your obligations—we provide strategic advice to support your financial growth, reduce tax liabilities, and keep your practice running smoothly.
