Dental Accountants
Our dental accountants are here to help you save tax, stay compliant, and focus on growing your business — not crunching numbers.
Why Dentists Need Specialist Dental Accountants
At eAccounts, we specialise in accounting for dentists across the UK. Whether you run a private practice, work under the NHS, or are an associate dentist.
Being a dentist is demanding. From seeing patients to managing staff and handling admin, it’s easy to put your finances last. But dental businesses have unique tax and accounting needs – from equipment purchases and NHS pensions to private income and practice ownership structures.
Who Our Dental Accountants Help
Our clients include:
Associate dentists – working in private or NHS practices
Practice owners – running one or more dental clinics
New dentists – starting their self-employed journey
Dental hygienists, therapists and technicians

As specialist dental accountants, we do much more than just file your tax return. Here’s what’s included:
Year-End Accounts & Tax Returns
We handle your annual accounts and self assessment or corporation tax return, ensuring you claim all the tax reliefs available to you.
Bookkeeping
We offer accurate and real-time bookkeeping using Xero, our trusted accounting software for dentists, integrated with useful add-ons to track income, expenses and payments.

From incorporating your practice to switching from sole trader to limited company, we give you the guidance you need to grow tax-efficiently.
NHS Pension & Superannuation Support
Working under the NHS? We help you with your NHS pension records, annual reconciliation reports, and contributions.

We provide and manage accounting software for dentists, which connects to your business bank account, helps automate expense tracking, and keeps you HMRC-ready at all times.
Save Tax the Right Way
We’ll ensure you don’t overpay on tax – whether that’s through capital allowances for dental chairs, staff costs, or business-use-of-home deductions.
Limited Company vs Sole Trader – What’s Better for Dentists?
We often get asked whether dentists should operate as a sole trader or limited company. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but here’s a basic comparison:
Sole Trader | Limited Company | |
|---|---|---|
Tax | Income Tax (20–45%) | Corporation Tax (25%) |
National Insurance (NI) | Class 2 & 4 | PAYE + Dividend Tax |
Liability | Personal | Limited |
Flexibility | Simple | More admin but more tax-efficient |
We’ll help you decide what’s best based on your income level, career stage, and long-term goals.

FAQ
Dental Accountants
Do I need a dental accountant?
Yes. Dentists have specific tax rules, pension contributions, and allowable expenses. A general accountant may miss valuable savings or misreport NHS income. Our dental accountants have years of experience helping dental professionals save time and money.
What can I claim as a dentist?
You can usually claim:
- Dental equipment and tools
- CPD training and subscriptions (e.g. GDC fees)
- Uniforms and cleaning costs
- Use of home as office
- Software subscriptions
- Travel and mileage (if applicable)
We’ll help you maximise all allowable expenses without falling foul of HMRC.
Is Xero good accounting software for dentists?
Absolutely. We recommend Xero to all our dental clients. It helps you track income, monitor expenses, send invoices, and stay compliant – all from your phone or computer. We’ll even provide the setup and training.
I work for the NHS — do I need an accountant?
Yes. Even NHS dentists are usually self-employed and responsible for their own taxes and NHS pension reporting. We can support you with both.
