  • Processing of Type1 Annual Certificate of Pensionable Profits

As a GP Partner or non-GP Partner, you need to complete a Type 1 Annual Certificate of Pensionable Profits for each financial year. This ensures that all NHS pension contributions have been correctly paid, by yourself and your employers, and allocated correctly to your NHS Pension Scheme record. You must submit your certificate by 28 February each year.

Please note: Pension records can only be updated sequentially. This means that, if any certificates from previous years are missing, the most recent years will not be updated in the system. For instance, if a certificate is missing for the year 2015/16 then the ABS (Annual Benefit Statements) will only reflect the pension figures up until 2015, even if the certificates for more recent years have been submitted. If you are aware or have concerns of any previous years that are missing certificates, please contact our dedicated PCSE support for further assistance and to submit the appropriate forms for the relevant missing periods.
