Overview
Salaried or Assistant and Solo GPs are required to complete a Type 2 Self-Assessment of Tiered Contributions for each pension year, so that NHS England can ensure that all NHS pension contributions have been correctly paid, by the member and their employers, and allocated correctly to the member's NHS Pension Scheme record.
Please note: Pension records can only be updated sequentially.
This means that, if any certificates from previous years are missing, contributions for the most recent years will not show on the NHS Pensions system.
For instance, if a certificate is missing for the year 2015/16 then the Annual Benefit Statement will only reflect the pension figures up until 2015, even if the certificates for more recent years have been submitted.
If you are aware of any previous years that are missing certificates, please submit the appropriate form for the missing year.
Submission deadline
The deadline for submission of Type 2 Self Assessment forms to PCSE each year, is 28 February.
Who should submit a Type 2 Self Assessment?
GPs who are salaried in a practice need to submit a Type 2 form. The form must include any locum and solo income in addition to their monthly salary from the practice.
If a GP is salaried at more than one practice, they must include all salaried positions on the same Type 2 form.
GPs who only do Solo work or do a combination of Solo and Locum work also need to submit a Type 2 form.
