Are you a medical practitioner?
Do you need a tax accountant?
You know that accounting and taxation issues are important to get the best out of your professional medical services, but often these can end up receiving a lesser priority in the reality of your busy day and running of businesses.
We are very conscious of the fact that most doctors are not particularly fond of accounting, tax preparation, and all the associated admin of bookkeeping. These are unfortunate consequences of ‘being in business’ as a professional. We take care of your compliance obligations, so you can concentrate on running your medical practice and businesses.
Of course, we do a lot more than that, but compliance is where it starts. The next step is to plan, to see where you can improve your situation or review your structure to ensure it provides you with maximum benefits. Sometimes small but crucial changes can produce much-improved returns.

Tax Advice for Medical Practitioners
Investing in an accountant is no longer a luxury, rather it’s a critical and necessary investment. Having open communication with your accountant needs to start from the moment you meet them. Accountants are very essential when it comes to the success of your business. As such, it’s quite crucial for you to build a relationship with them and ask lots of questions to assist in the growth of your medical practice.
Errors frequently made by non-specialist accountants include:
- Netting off income and expenses that can result in incorrect GST claims. Medical practitioners face unique GST complications that others do not. It is important to employ the right people who understand how this affects your practice.
- Incorrect tax treatment of superannuation contributions paid or due to be paid, resulting in the wrong tax relief being applied.
- Allocating profits incorrectly, particularly regarding personal services income. This can affect the balances due to or from partners.
- Miscalculating superannuation contributions where there is a mix of self-employment and employment.
- Including income to which PAYG withholding has been applied in the accounts, resulting in the income being taxed twice.
- A lot of practices struggle with efficiently billing and managing cash flow. These two go hand in hand and with the right systems in place, this is made easy by accountants who know what they are doing.
- By comparing your practice performance to industry leaders both locally and nationally, a specialist accountant is able to understand better the areas that are in need of improvement.
- Specialist medical accountants should be up to date with the latest changes to medicare, with specific focus on how this will impact your finances. It is far less likely that regular accountants are going to be following these trends.
