Completing and submitting form
When can I access the end of year pension forms for 2023/24?
NHS Pension scheme members can download the 2023/24 End of Year Pension forms from the NHS Pensions website using the links below:
2023-24 GP and non-GP providers annual certificate
2023-24 Type 2 medical practitioner self assessment form
We'll be in touch about what certificate you need to complete and how to submit it.
I was abroad for a year in the past and I didn’t pay any pension then. Will my years before I went not be updated?
You only need to submit forms for years where you undertook work in a primary care setting as a Principal or Salaried GP.
Do Partners complete Type 1 and Type 2?
Partners need to complete a Type 1 form.
If you have been a Partner and a salaried GP in the same year you will need to complete a Type 1 and Type 2 form for that year.
I'm a salaried GP but my pension contributions are being taken as a partner. PCSE Online has registered me as a Type 1 practitioner as Partner. I can't submit a Type 2 form.
If your income type is showing as profit share when you were a salaried GP, please make sure you submitted a Performer employment change from partner to salaried GP on PCSE Online and that it is showing as approved. If it is Pending, speak to the Practice Manager to get this approved.
If your employment status as partner is approved, speak to the Practice Manager as they will need to update your income type. This is done by them completing the Pensions “Leaver” form on PCSE Online to end your partner role and then completing a Pensions Joiner form to commence your role as a salaried GP. This will automatically update your Employee Contribution Statement on PCSE Online. After these steps have been completed you will be able to submit your end of year form for 2022/23.
If you have never been a partner at the practice, please use the “Pensions Contribution Query” option on the Contact Us form and provide the details of how what you are expecting to see on your statement differs from what PCSE Online is showing so that we can investigate for you.

My employers do not know what their correct ODS code is.
You will find the ODS code for the organisation you worked for in the Employee Contribution Statement screen on PCSE Online.
You need to select the correct financial year and click on the 'select practices' dropdown.
Which figures go into the Type 2 end of year forms?
If you are unsure, you will need to speak with an accountant or financial adviser.
How do I calculate my total pay for a Type 2 form, is it gross pay, pensionable pay or taxable pay?
A salaried GP’s pensionable income is their Practice salary (including overtime), plus any ad hoc income net of expenses.
