The new independent way of taxing the on-call payments of doctors was mentioned by Adonis Georgiades.

In particular, in a post on X, Health Minister explained that doctors have a “large and substantial tax cut due to being subject to a lower tax scale“.

“It leads to a substantial increase in the income of Doctors of the EESY. Perhaps the biggest and most substantial reform we have made,” Georgiades noted in his post on the implementation of the law.

A detailed post by Georgiades:

“After the implementation of our law on the self-taxation of the income of NHS doctors from on-call duties, a large and substantial tax reduction has resulted for all of them, both independently and due to their inclusion in a lower tax scale since these incomes are not counted in their general income.

Here are some examples of the large tax reduction now being assessed on doctors across the country, leading to a substantial increase in the incomes of NHS doctors. Perhaps the biggest and most substantial reform we have made in their favour!”
