To be honest I'm actually surprised you need to PAT test private equipment (obviously at work it is a different thing). That may make sense when you are renting though.
But I am not sure any actual regulations would require you to do that every year...

With the goal setting approach taken in the UK, they're more likely to say that you need to risk assess it... i.e. test in once every few years, unless some equipment looks dodgy or is submitted to intense wear and tear...

But as I said, not my area of expertise so I may well be wrong.
