UK aimed at claimants. One of the functions of the renewal process is to establish the claimant's income for the current year, and to review any changes of personal circumstances during it, so that their final entitlement for that year can be established. Having established the claimant's income for the current year, it is used, together with their latest set of personal circumstances, to set the initial award for the coming year.
So we have a three-year rolling programme. So an initial tax credits award is made in the year of payment, then revised at the end of the year to produce in many cases an underpayment or overpayment. All other claimants should usually be reply-required cases. Even though some auto-renewal forms will show income figures provided by an employer or occupational pension provider, it is important that claimants still check to see whether they have other income or can make any deductions from the figure provided by their employer as income for tax credits purposes is not the same as income for tax purposes.
See our RTI and tax credits section for more detailed information on what should be checked. Coronavirus related changes. Claimants or their agents who missed the 31 January deadline to provide their actual income after giving an estimate by 31 July for tax credits should still make every effort to confirm their figures as soon as they can. HMRC say that if the reason is COVID related, they will use their tax credit enquiry powers to accept the actual income figure and issue an updated final award.
You can read more about this in our blog. HMRC will revert to their more usual mix of automatically renewing some claims and sending others, for example claimants who are self-employed or who have several changes through the year, a reply-required renewal pack.
In December , in an effort to reduce costs, HMRC introduced legislation which enables them not to automatically renew people on nil awards or who will be on nil awards from the following 6 April unless the claimant tells HMRC that they wish to renew their claim.
If the claimant does not make a relevant request ie write to or phone HMRC to say they wished to renew their claims , their claim lapses on 5 April. A disabled claimant whose entitlement to the disability element of working tax credit rests on Case G in the WTC regulations entitlement to the disability element for at least one day in the preceding 56 days will no longer be so entitled if they allow their claim to lapse and do not make a new claim within 56 days.
If the claimant is not an auto-renewal case, they must reply to the TCRR and complete and return the TCD declaration form with details of their income for the 'current year' the tax year just ended. This can be done by any of the following see our contacting HMRC section for more details :. Since April , HMRC have had access to real time information income data from employers and occupational pension providers. They will replay this information on the TCRR form.
It is important that claimants still check to see whether they have other income or can make any deductions from the figure provided by their employer as income for tax credits purposes is not the same as income for tax purposes. If they have made more than one claim during the current year, eg because they started the year as a single claimant then became a joint claimant with a new partner, they must complete a set of forms for each claim, even if they each show the same information.
Prior to 6 April , if a couple separated during the renewals period, and one member of the couple did not complete their forms an overpayment would occur of payments between 6 April and the date they separated.
This was the case even if one partner completed their renewal forms. If only one member responds, the award will be based on the information provided which may not be accurate. HMRC have advised that, where possible, it is still recommended that both members send back their forms, although failure to do so will no longer result in an overpayment providing one partner has done so. It is vital to complete and return renewal papers when required to do so.
Dissatisfaction with the system has led some people to deliberately refrain from renewing, with the result that payments made to them from the start of the new tax year are treated as overpayments.
It is important that the claimant checks the personal circumstances listed and inform HMRC if any of them have changed. Claimants have the option of renewing online.
To do this claimants must go via the GOV. Claimants will need to have a Government Gateway ID to use the service. Anyone who does not have a gateway ID can get one as part of the process. The number will appear immediately and claimants should keep a note of this number somewhere safe. To use the system they will also need:. Claimants will need to answer some additional security questions and will be given some options to help confirm their identity.
For example they may be asked about information on their P60, tax credit payments, bank accounts and so on. There is a save and return function so that claimants no longer have to complete their on-line renewal in one go. Claimants should see a summary screen at the end of the process and will receive an email from HMRC within 24 hours of submitting their renewal to confirm that their information and declaration has been received.
