Annualisation
I was a partner for the first 3 months of the 22/23 financial year. Does the amount of pensionable pay to determine the rate I pay include other earnings in the first 6 months?
Yes, income from all practitioner posts needs to be included to calculate the correct tier rate. See https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/member-hub/information-practitioners-and-non-gp-providers for guidance on completing Type 1 form and also guidance on the 2022/23 annualisation calculator.
On the calculator, should SOLO income be noted as Locum or Type 1 or 2?
Solo should be recorded on the calculator as Type 2 (Locum is only for income you have pensioned using Locum A&B forms).
When we talk about annualising income, does this mean half yearly profits need to be calculated separately as the profits available will be annual?
Please see the Type 1 End of Year guide, page 9 discusses apportioning income. You will also find information about the tier rate split on page 4.
Where can I find the annualisation calculator?
The annualisation calculator is available on the NHS Pensions website
