2022/23

During 2022/23, the tier rates for Employee contributions changed from 1 October 2022, creating the requirement to apportion pensionable earnings between two separate periods: 

• 1 April 2022 to 30 September 2022
• 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023 

Due to this change, the tiered employee contribution rates for each 6 month period are shown separately on the 2022/23 Type 1 and Type 2 forms.

NHS Pension Regulations state that the two periods must be annualised separately.

• 1 April 2022 to 30 September 2022 – 183 days
• 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023 – 182 days 

NHS Pensions have published guidance to accompany the forms on their website here.

The 2022/23 Type 2 form can be completed in PCSE Online.

You'll find the 2022/23 annualisation calculator useful, available from the NHS Pensions website, in the GP tiered contributions and annualisation calculator section.
