As Nutritionist Accountants, we provide a full range of Accounting and Tax Services to UK Nutritionists.
Our services are for sole practitioners, locum, associate and contracting Nutritionists.
We welcome newly qualified practitioners and offer guidance through the important early days of setting up the business.
We know that Nutritionists need to look after their patients, and run their small business, so we are here to help.
As a Nutritionist your business will be on a Self Employed basis or through a Limited Company.
Our services cover both of these, and if you are just starting practising we can help you decide which is best for you.
Self Employment Information
As Accountants for Nutritionists, we will prepare your accounts and file your Self Assessment Tax Return with HMRC.
Our fees for the preparation and filing Accounts and Tax Returns are from £40.00 per month, for 12 months, concurrent with the tax year, so May to the following April.
Discount is available for practitioners who are newly qualified or new to practice.
Fees may vary if your income is more complex, eg. investments and property letting.
We provide a free spreadsheet for your business records which saves you the cost of online software. Or we support Free Agent and QuickBooks if you prefer.
In the UK, a Self-Employed Nutritionist is classified as a Sole Trader and files Accounts and Tax Returns to HMRC by Self Assessment. We will file these for you.
Income Tax is paid on the business profits, and usually also you will be required to pay Class 2 National Insurance and Class 4 National Insurance.
For Self Employed people there is no legal distinction between the owner of the business and the business itself. A Self Employed person is not an employee of the business.
Self Employed people are entitled to keep the profits of the business, after paying any Tax and National Insurance, but a self-employed person has unlimited liability for the debts of the business.
The potential taxes include:
- Income Tax
- Class 2 National Insurance
- Class 4 National Insurance
- PAYE (If you employ staff)
Please note also that Self Employed people pay Student Loan repayments through the Self Assessment Tax Return process.
The HMRC Tax Payments On Account will also usually apply to healthcare practitioners.
Limited Company Information
The differences between being Self Employed/Sole Trader and a Limited Company are explained on our established website. Please take the links below.
If you are recently qualified, or currently registered as Self Employed, and are considering whether you should practice as a Limited Company, please see our guide Sole Trader or Limited Company ? which explains many of the differences between them.
We are able to supply direct tax comparisons based on your projected profit.
As Accountants for Nutritionists, we can form a Limited Company for you, and complete the registrations with Companies House and HMRC. This is subject to the condition of an annual monthly fee contract to include Accounts & Tax filing, PAYE and Self Assessment.
We will also supply you with our free spreadsheet to record your fees and expenses, which produces a Profit & Loss Account and Trial Balance and a running estimate of Corporation Tax payable.
We also provide bookkeeping training and support.
During the year we will process your salary and dividend payments, and at the Year End we will file your company accounts and tax, and your personal Self Assessment.
