The accountant for self-employed people
in healthcare
Are you self-employed in the healthcare sector? Then, as an entrepreneur, you have to deal with administration and tax rules. That might be a bit complicated. A good accountant will help you keep all your affairs in order. This way, you can avoid problems and do business without worries. We are happy to explain why a ZZP Zorg accountant is indispensable and what to look out for.
Why an accountant as a healthcare ZZP?
As a self-employed healthcare professional, you have to deal with taxes, invoices and rules. And that can be quite complicated. A good accountant will keep everything clear and prevent financial surprises. These are the main reasons why an accountant is worth it.
Keeping accurate records
An accountant keeps your company's records clear and up to date. Invoices and receipts are correctly processed and stored by your accountant. This way, you meet the requirements of the tax authorities and avoid hassles in case of possible audits. You will quickly gain insight into your finances and be able to make better business decisions. This gives you peace of mind and security in your business.
Filing your VAT return
Some healthcare services are subject to VAT, while others are exempt. This can be complicated, especially if you offer both services. An accountant will help you file your quarterly VAT return correctly. Your accountant calculates the VAT on your income and expenses and thus prevents errors. This way, you comply with the rules and avoid any retrospective assessments or fines.
Entering income and expenses correctly
Keeping track of your income and expenses may seem simple. Yet many rules and exceptions apply. An accountant records all transactions and places them in the right categories. That way, you get a clear overview of your profits and expenses. You will know which business expenses are deductible and which are not. You can also easily draw up financial reports. Useful for a mortgage application or subsidy application.
Advice on tax benefits and deductions
As a ZZP in healthcare, you can make use of various tax benefits and deductions. A good example is the self-employed deduction for entrepreneurs working a minimum of 1,225 hours a year. Another example is the starter's deduction that gives additional tax benefits to budding entrepreneurs. Then you also have the SME profit exemption, which ensures that part of your profit remains tax-free. In addition, business expenses such as training, workspaces, transport and equipment are deductible. A good accountant will help you maximise these benefits and avoid missing out on these kinds of tax breaks.
Preventing false self-employment
As a ZZP'er in healthcare, you run the risk of the tax authorities seeing you as a false self-employed person. This is especially true if you only work for one client. The right accountant will help you draw up good agreements between you and your client. The accountant will advise you on how to prove your independence. The accountant also explains which contracts and invoicing methods are safe. A good accountant allows you to concentrate on your business. Your finances remain well organised. With timely advice and careful administration, you avoid risks and make the most of the advantages of being self-employed in healthcare.

Sham independence: Make sure you are not seen as an employee by the tax authorities.
