Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that you might have lots of questions when looking for an accountant. For this reason, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions for you, which we hope will be helpful. However, if you have any further questions, please contact us.
The Type 2 Form is utilised by NHS Pensions to verify that locum GPs have made the proper pension contributions for all their salaried roles. It’s a statutory requirement for maintaining accurate NHS Pension Scheme records.
If you’re a salaried GP in a surgery, a long-term fee-based or self-employed GP working for a GP surgery, or a GP who solely works for an out-of-hours provider, you’ll need to complete a Type 2 Form.
Failing to complete the form can lead to your pension records being out of date, which could affect your pension entitlements upon retirement.
Many GPs are not aware of the form. However, there’s been an amnesty allowing you to submit retrospective Type 2 Forms back to 2009/10. It’s important to take action to ensure your pension contributions are accurate and complete.
No, locums in this situation cannot contribute to the NHS pension scheme via the Type 2 Form but may contribute to private pension schemes.
Our experienced medical accounting team can guide you through the relevant regulations and ensure your NHS pension record is correctly updated, which is crucial for receiving your full pension benefits.
