With two large hospital sites nearby, Sutton has plenty of locum clinicians, medical consultants and healthcare suppliers who run their own companies. Their questions are specific: how locum income interacts with NHS pensions, which indemnity and registration costs are allowable and whether an engagement is caught by IR35. Alongside them are the usual high-street retailers and home-based consultants.
A locum radiographer working shifts across south-west London forms a company, keeps her NHS job separate and sets up quarterly tax reserves so the first January bill holds no surprises.
Income from a genuine locum engagement can go through your own company, while income from a salaried NHS post cannot. We separate the two, check IR35 on each placement and plan pension contributions around the annual allowance.
