GP Locum - Limited comany

Didn't find your answer?

If a GP locum trades through a limited company what are the main points to watch?

I am aware of the need to account for superannuation on an anuual certificate and that dividends are pensionable (if they relate to NHS work).
I have the publication " Doctors - An Industry Accounting and Auditing Guide" by CCH but the matter of limited companies has very little coverage.
Any recommended sources please?

Pension issues
Knuckles,

If a company is used then the contract is between the GP Practice and the company. To pension in NHSPS there needs to be a contract between the individual and the practice. Putting a company in between means, I believe, that it is not NHS work. Therefore this income cannot be pensioned. Massive downside in my opinion.
