Limited Company as a Locum GP

Originally posted by musketeer View PostHi all, I took some advice from Qdos after trading through the ltd for a couple of months. The short of it is that my contract wasn't compliant and to make it so would have really stretched reality. Indeed, I couldn't really see a legitimate way around the 'Direction and Control' contract test. Ultimately, working as an SHO/Middle grade I still have to ask the bosses for advice on difficult cases and they have ultimate say. I just didn't want to take the risk of getting further down the line and then be hit for a big tax bill. I guess its different GPs, especially with the Direction and Control aspect.
Logically, I see a big difference between a GP (who as a patient I would assume to be adequately qualified to treat me/refer me without direct guidance from anybody else) and a junior hospital doctor who is clearly being supervised by registrars, consultants etc.
I respectfully opine that we (here) may have too subjective a view based on our own experience of 'standard' IT/Engineering contracts and how they are regarded by HMRC.Last edited by Taita; 29 May 2013, 15:42.Comment

As the owner of the ltd company as a Locum gp we must have this by law and it is usually included in other insurances, so it is probably worth keeping it all, as the costs will not be greatly reduced.Comment
