HMRC Certification
Meeting tax and regulatory obligations

Why is HMRC certification important?
If your therapy dog program operates as part of your dental practice, HMRC certification ensures you meet all tax and regulatory obligations. Proper certification demonstrates your compliance with UK tax laws, helping you manage expenses, claim eligible deductions, and avoid unnecessary penalties.

What HMRC certification covers
HMRC certification involves correctly categorizing therapy dog expenses within your practice’s financial records. This includes training fees, insurance, maintenance costs, and any subscriptions related to therapy dog accreditation. Accurate documentation ensures these expenses are properly accounted for and can be included in your tax returns.
Steps to achieve certification
To obtain HMRC certification, you’ll need to review your practice’s financial setup and identify therapy dog-related expenses. Maintain detailed records, including invoices for training and accreditation, as well as proof of therapy dog usage in your practice. You’ll also need to confirm eligibility for tax relief on these expenses based on HMRC guidelines.
Once your documentation is prepared, submit the required forms and records to HMRC for review. Certification confirms that your practice’s therapy dog program complies with tax regulations, providing peace of mind during audits or inspections.
