Function CAPTURE RENEWAL DECLARATION enables you to capture data from a returned Annual Declaration. The function will only handle Annual Declarations for one tax year at a time. Any late declarations made more than one year after the end of the year you are trying to finalise will be handled in other functions.
An Annual Declaration is given
- In writing by completing the form TC603D if the claimant(s) are required to confirm their income for Previous Year ( PY) only
- In writing by completing the form TC603D2 if the claimant(s) are required to confirm their actual income for 2005 - 2006, (Previous Year minus 1 ( PY-1)), as well as income for PY

Note: The Enquiry Centre officer must date stamp the Annual Declaration on the left hand side, under the HMRC logo
You can also repair / incomplete replies received that are placed on the 'Unprocessed S17' Work List, including those made through Rapid Data Capture ( RDC) or E portal channels.
Tax Credit claimants will be asked to
- Confirm their income for the previous year
- Confirm their personal circumstances for the previous year
And
- Confirm their actual income for PY-1 when an estimate of PY-1 income is held on the computer
This will allow the computer to
