Tax Planning for Physicians
Physicians are consistently among the highest-taxed professionals, yet many doctors rely on once-a-year tax preparation instead of proactive tax planning. Our tax planning for physicians service is designed to reduce your tax burden throughout the year — not just file paperwork at year end.
Common Tax Challenges Physicians Face
- High marginal tax rates across employee and contracted income combined
- Complex income from locum work, telehealth, or partnership distributions
- Missed deductions related to continuing education, licensing, and indemnity insurance
- PSI rules limiting which deductions and structures are available
- Lack of a retirement contribution strategy that minimises taxable income
Our Physician Tax Planning Process
We start with a full review of your practice structure, income sources, and prior returns. From there, we build a year-round strategy that may include entity restructuring, superannuation contributions, timing of equipment purchases, and quarterly BAS and PAYG instalment planning to avoid surprises.
