Tax Manager – GP Clients
Department: Tax
Location: Hilldean Office (flexible across office locations)
Reports To: Director
Our client, a well-established accounting and advisory practice, is seeking an experienced Tax Manager to focus on managing the tax affairs of GP and Medic clients. This primarily tax role demands robust technical expertise in personal and partnership taxation, alongside NHS pension-related matters, and strong advisory skills.
The ideal candidate will take a central role in coordinating tax compliance and advisory services, while providing clarity on GP practice accounts, interpreting and submitting superannuation certificates, and bridging the gap between financial and tax considerations for clients. This includes leading discussions on client meetings regarding accounts, tax planning, drawings, tax implications, and business performance.
NH provision will also be a crucial element of your work, requiring collaboration with the NHS to ensure compliance with the Annual Allowance Pension Savings Statement (AAPSS) process and manage RPPS reporting requirements and Associated Pension Scheme duties.

- Investigate and resolve tax discrepancies or compliance issues efficiently
- Maintain comprehensive, auditable working papers for all tax computations and submissions
- Review and submit annual VAT Estimates (PCSE)
- Advise clients on drawings, profit allocations, withdrawals, and tax-efficient structures
GP Accounts Review and Client Liaison
- Conduct thorough account reviews for GP practices, identifying key areas needing client action
- Develop an in-depth knowledge of GP financial models and NHS accounting requirements
- Chair meetings with clients to review financial performance, discuss accounts, tax positions, and recommend actions
