Tax Bite can help review contracts, determine your employment status and provide help with processing your accounts and tax so you benefit from tax reliefs where possible.
HMRC recently noted changes with regards to the paragraph in the guidance they provide that highlights the BDA and DPA standard associates agreement.
As you may or may not have known already, associate dental professionals in the past have a concession that allowed them to be treated as self-employed individuals when it came to tax purposes. That meant associates were allowed to process income as trading income for tax purposes, rather than employment income.
As of April 2023, though, dental practices need to start using the Check Employment Status for Tax or CEST test to figure out the tax status for all associate dentists contracted with the.
If any dental practice has been discovered to be treating associates as if they were self-employed, when they are employees, they will have an additional tax liability.
This means, from the point of view of dental professionals, you need to identify your employment status, whether you are an employee of your practice or self-employed, and work in line with those details.
Speak To A Chartered AccountantHow you perform your role within the practice you are employed by is factored into whether you are considered an employee or sole trader.

Some things to consider that distinguish employed from self-employed dental practitioners include:

A crucial aspect of running a practice is setting the right prices. While itâs important to ensure you are appropriately compensated for your skills, hard work and time, you need to make sure you are not charging too much and providing poor value to your patients.
In our extensive experience, we have seen many dental practices and dental associates base their pricing structure on the competition and often the prices they are charging are not enough to cover their basic overheads.
At Tax Bite, we can help to ensure that doesnât happen by taking a thorough and analytical approach to determining pricing for dental services your practice offers, to make sure your fees are profitable and effective.

Tax Bite has many yearsâ worth of experience in helping with the process of incorporating dental practices. Partnerships, sole traders and expense sharing arrangements can be incorporated. It is important, not only that it is done, but that it is done correctly the first time.
It was from 31st July 2006 onwards that new legal reforms were put in place that made it possible for dental practices to become incorporated and start to trade as limited companies. Most company directors need to be registered with the General Denal Council as dental care professionals or dentists.
There are advantages and disadvantages to incorporating your dental practice, which is why you should not make the decision lightly.
Although there are several tax reliefs, they are not always available. Even when they are, they are often offset by start-up costs, professional fees and additional bureaucracy.
For those with a higher tax rate particularly, there could be significant tax savings for dental practices.
Associates are allowed to practice through an incorporated limited company by the General Dental Council. They are not, however, allowed to gain benefit from goodwill when the limited company is established and HMRC could potentially some appropriate penal tax rules to take any possible tax savings from limited companies.
Speak To A Chartered AccountantThat is why dental associates need to consider the risks very carefully before they trade as limited companies. You also need to think about your pension arrangements, as the new rules mean the NHS will not pay associates who have incorporated pensions.
Dental associate incorporation is not the best option for everyone, which is why you should look to working with Tax Bite to assess whether it is right for you or not. For more information about our services, please contact us today.
