I am a salaried GP, do I need to complete a Type 1 form?

If you were a partner from April to August, you need to complete a Type 1 form for that period.
If you became a salaried GP or did any Solo work after the 24hr break you need to complete a Type 2 form for the rest of the year.
However, locum only GPs are not required to submit an end of year form.
