  Whether this return's self-declaration branch (a) is co-certified by a Registered Tax Practitioner. The source prints a Signature/Date block in declaration branch (a) immediately followed by the tokens "OR" and "R.T.P." on the same and next printed line; the exact box/checkbox mechanics of this R.T.P. co-certification option could not be fully disambiguated from the extracted text layer alone (a page-image cross-check was attempted but did not produce a usable render this cycle — see VERIFICATION.md), so this is modeled as a single disclosed, best-effort boolean rather than an invented multi-field structure.
