Accounting and Tax Support for GP Surgeries and GP Practices
A GP practice does not keep books like an ordinary small business. Income arrives through PCSE rather than through invoices, superannuation is deducted at source before the partners see it, and profit is divided under a partnership agreement that may include prior shares rather than split evenly.
Gondal Accountancy provides accounting support for GP surgeries and GP practices in Birmingham. We prepare the annual accounts, run the payroll, keep the bookkeeping current and produce the partner figures your practice needs — so the accounts and the tax returns agree with one another.

The Partnership Return and Each Partner's Self Assessment
A GP partnership files a partnership return (SA800) showing the practice profit and how it has been divided between the partners. Each partner then reports their own share on the partnership pages of their personal Self Assessment return, alongside any locum work, private practice, property income or dividends.
Because both returns draw on the same accounts, the sensible order is accounts first, partnership return second, personal returns third. Practices that leave the accounts until the autumn tend to find every partner's tax return compressed into January.
The online filing deadline for personal Self Assessment returns is 31 January following the end of the tax year. Current deadlines and penalties are set out on GOV.UK.
What we need from the practice
A complete handover at the start saves several rounds of queries later. For a typical year end we ask for the following.
- Bank statements for all practice accounts, covering the full accounting period
- PCSE statements, NHS payment schedules and open exeter / global sum breakdowns
- Enhanced services, QOF and PCN income records
- Private income records — medicals, reports, insurance work and non-NHS services
- Payroll reports, P32s and employee contribution statements
- Purchase invoices, locum invoices and expense receipts
- Premises costs, notional or cost rent documentation and any reimbursements
- Partnership agreement and any changes to profit sharing ratios during the year
- Partner drawings records and details of any capital introduced or repaid
- HMRC and NHS Pensions correspondence received during the period

GP Surgery Accounts, Payroll and Financial Records
A practice has to keep track of NHS contract income, private income, staff wages, pension deductions, supplier payments, premises costs, partner drawings and tax reserves — often with one practice manager carrying most of it.
Our job is to take that load off the practice: keep the records accurate, meet the dates and give the partners reports they can act on.

Practice accounts and partner reports that show where profit is actually being earned.

- NHS and private income separated so each can be reviewed properly.
- Superannuation reconciled to PCSE statements, not assumed.
- Prior shares and profit sharing ratios applied as the partnership agreement states.
- Drawings and current accounts tracked so partners know their position.
- Partner profit shares supported by the underlying records.

GP Practice Accounting – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about practice accounts, payroll, bookkeeping and partner tax returns.
The cost depends on the size of the practice, the number of partners, payroll headcount, bookkeeping volume, whether bookkeeping is included and whether partner tax returns are needed. Gondal Accountancy offers fixed-fee pricing wherever possible, so the cost is agreed before work starts. Contact us for a quote based on your practice.
GP practices have accounting requirements that most general practice accountants rarely encounter: partnership profit allocation with prior shares, NHS income streams that arrive through PCSE rather than invoicing, and superannuation deducted at source before the partners see it. An accountant familiar with these arrangements will usually produce accounts that are easier for partners to interpret.
Yes. The partnership itself files a partnership return (SA800) reporting the practice profit and how it has been divided. Each partner then reports their share on the partnership pages of their own Self Assessment return, alongside any other income such as locum work, private practice, property or dividends. The online filing deadline for the personal return is 31 January following the end of the tax year.
Employee and employer contributions deducted through PCSE need to agree to the contributions shown in the practice payroll and to each partner\'s employee contribution statement. Differences usually come from mid-year tier changes, partner changes or estimates that were not revised. We reconcile these as part of preparing the accounts so the payroll and the accounts agree.
Primary Care Network income depends on how the network is structured and which practice holds the funds. Where one practice acts as host or lead, amounts passed on to other member practices are not that practice\'s income and should not inflate its profit. Getting this wrong distorts the accounts and each partner's profit share. We agree the treatment with the partners before the accounts are finalised.
An accountant can show where profit is coming from and what it costs to earn. Reporting income by stream, staffing costs as a proportion of income, and profit per partner session gives partners a factual basis for decisions about staffing, enhanced services and partner workload. The accountant provides the analysis; the clinical and operational decisions remain with the partners.
Yes. We can run payroll for practice staff and salaried GPs, including payslips, RTI submissions to HMRC, statutory payments, workplace pension duties and year-end reporting.
Changing accountant is straightforward and can be done at any point, though the cleanest moment is shortly after a set of accounts has been finalised. You write to your current accountant, we request professional clearance and the handover information, and we take over from there. Practices generally do not need to wait for a year end.
Yes. We support GP surgeries in Birmingham in person and practices elsewhere in the UK remotely, using cloud accounting software, secure document sharing and video meetings for the partner accounts meeting.
