SAM101042 - Records: maintain taxpayer record: criteria for auto removal of cases from SA using CY-1 return

When a CY-1 Return is captured, the computer system will identify cases suitable for removal from SA. It will do this by comparing the CY-1 tax return with the specified criteria set out below.

Where the taxpayer is eligible for removal from SA, and an overpayment is due, if there are entries in either box 7 (State Pension) or Box 10 (Pensions other than state pension) and there is also an entry in Box 1 (Taxed UK Interest), exit letter SA251(pen) (an exit letter specifically worded to advise how to claim future repayments on bank/building society interest) will be issued.
