The general practice pay transparency collection for 2023/24 is now live.

Individuals who are required to self-declare their 2023/24 NHS earnings must do so by 30 April 2025.

This guidance sets out who is required to self-declare their NHS earnings, the definition of NHS earnings and how the self-declaration is made.

The threshold of NHS earnings

The thresholds of NHS earnings above which a self-declaration must be made are set out below for the financial years 2021-22 to 2023-24.

Financial year (1 April to 31 March)

NHS earnings threshold above which a self-declaration must be made:

• 2021-22 – £156,000
• 2022-23 – £159,000
• 2023-24 – £163,000

How individuals make the pay transparency self-declaration

The general practice pay transparency self-declaration will be made by individuals on the Forms Platform via the Strategic Data Collection Service (SDCS).

Individuals with NHS earnings above the threshold for the relevant year will first need to register with the SDCS and then create an account to make their self-declaration on the Forms Platform.

Individuals who have previously self-declared their NHS earnings will be able to use their existing login.  Individuals who are contractually required to self-declare their NHS earnings for the first time will need to contact  ssd.nationalservicedesk@nhs.net with the following information to request a log in account:

• name of the collection the individual requires access to i.e. the General Practice Pay Transparency data collection.
