EOY - Type 1 Partner
I am a partner in two practices, how do I record my correct income and select the accurate tier Rate?
If you’re a partner at more than one practice with a GMS, PMS, or APMS contract, you’ll need to complete a separate Type 1 form for each practice.
To make sure your tier rate is correct, please include pensionable income from all your practitioner posts when calculating it.
For clear guidance on completing the Type 1 form and using the annualisation calculator, visit the NHSBSA website using the link below:
