We are writing to let you know about the support and guidance available for the 2021/22 end of year process for GPs and non GP Partners who are members of the NHS Pension Scheme.
The deadline for submitting 2021/22 Type 1 and Type 2 certificates is 28 February 2023.
Step by Step Guides
We have created an easy-to-follow Type 1 and Type 2 Step by Step Guide to help you complete the end of year process successfully. You can find this guide here.
The guide shows Pension Scheme Members how to check their Employee Contribution Statement on PCSE Online before submitting an end of year form and provides information for GPs on what to do if there is a shortfall in their locum or Solo contributions.
It also explains the adjustment process if a practice has under or over paid contributions as a result of the Pension Scheme Member’s actual income being higher or lower than the practice stated on the 2021/22 estimate, and includes instructions for practices who wish to make any ad hoc year end payments upfront rather than waiting for adjustments to be processed.
Practice Managers and others who support GPs in the completion of end of year forms will also find this information helpful.
Please note that all submissions must be made accurately, and in full, by the deadline in order to be successfully processed in time for the annual Total Rewards Statement refresh in August. Any late submissions will be included in the mid year refresh which is normally available in December.
PCSE Online Webinars
We are hosting a number of webinars to help GPs and non GP Partners complete their End of Year certificates on PCSE Online.
These sessions will cover how to submit Type 1 Annual Certificates and Type 2 Self Assessments, including a live Q&A opportunity.

Get it right first time, use PCSE Online
Using PCSE Online to complete and submit your end of year certificate will save you time and helps to avoid any errors or delays.
Last year we saw 22% of certificates submitted using PCSE Online with very positive feedback from those who used the system.
The 2021/22 Type 1 and Type 2 certificates will be available to complete in PCSE Online from 27 January 2023.
If you are unable to use PCSE Online, you can download the relevant form from the NHS Pensions website here and submit to PCSE via our Contact Us form here from 27 January 2023.
We hope you have found this update useful and look forward to you joining us on one of our webinars.
