General Practitioners and dentists

Some members of public service pension schemes such as General Practitioners and Dentists are taxed on some of their relevant UK earnings under Part 2 ITTOITA 2005 through being self-employed. If they choose to pension these earnings in a registered pension scheme set up in accordance with National Health Service Acts they will be unable to use the net pay arrangement to obtain tax relief on their contributions.

In these circumstances the member should make a claim from tax relief to HMRC, through their self-assessment tax return if possible.

This replaces the practice as set out in an Extra Statutory Concession (ESCA9).
