The International Tax Compliance Regulations require Financial Institutions to carry out the due diligence and reporting obligations set out in the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), including the commentary on the CRS, and the agreement reached between the United Kingdom and the United States to improve international tax compliance and to implement FATCA.

If Financial Institutions have doubts about how any element of the CRS applies their first point of reference should be to the CRS Commentaries published by the OECD. The UK Guidance is secondary to this and assists with using the Commentaries by summarising and bringing together some of the main issues and to deal with any UK specific areas where the CRS allows for a degree of optionality as well as highlighting differences in approach between CRS and FATCA reporting regimes.

Additional guidance can be found on the OECD Automatic Exchange Portal (http://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/common-reporting-standard/), including the CRS Implementation Handbook, which is a practical guide for government officials and financial institutions, and a list of CRS-related Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

UK chief finance minister builds on commitment to support mutual growth in South Africa at G20
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-28)

The Rt Hon Rachel Reeves MP shared the UK's growth mission with key stakeholders and her G20 counterparts in South Africa this week.

Over the past two days in Cape Town, the UK’s chief finance minister, Chancellor Rachel Reeves, spent time in and around the G20 finance ministerial meetings emphasising that the UK’s relationship with South Africa is key to the delivery of the UK’s Growth Mission for the mutual benefit of both our countries.

The Chancellor emphasised the significance of South Africa to her counterparts at the G20, highlighting that the UK is the largest investor in the country, with UK companies having invested over R500 billion.

Building on UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s recent agreement to develop a UK-South Africa Growth Partnership with Minister Lamola, she reiterated that free trade is the best way to achieve economic growth internationally and demonstrated how the UK is meeting the ambition to drive job creation in our two economies.

Infrastructure was a major theme at the G20 meetings the Chancellor attended, given the need to ensure that people can do their jobs and get around with improved railways and roads to facilitate economic growth. Which is why she said the UK is helping to accelerate projects in South Africa, including promoting the involvement of UK companies and sharing government expertise.

The Chancellor announced the next stage of the UK programme boosting urban economic development in South Africa, unlocking opportunities through improved urban planning and infrastructure in disadvantaged areas of the country’s municipalities. The intention is to strengthen UK cooperation with local governments in South Africa, to build their financial and technical capabilities.

A highlight of her time in SA was a visit was to the V&A Waterfront, where the Chancellor witnessed the unveiling of the design for the R25 billion expansion project, which has been produced by UK architects Heatherwick Studio. She also welcomed the news that British engineering firm Arup had won key contracts to support South Africa’s ambitions to boost green and sustainable growth across the country, not only contributing to the design of more resilient infrastructure but also working with public and private sector clients to improve the energy efficiency of buildings here in Cape Town and across South Africa.

The Chancellor also attended a reception at the High Commissioner’s official residence for prominent South African investors and businesses to further deepen the close economic ties between the UK and South Africa.

This page provides 2021 to 2022 annual review summaries for the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes in the Western Balkans.

All Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes are reviewed carefully each year. These reviews assess:

technical and programme management standards including financial and risk management, value for money, conflict and gender sensitivity

contextual factors such as changes to the political environment

the outputs and outcomes during the year

Lessons learned are also identified.

An expert team conducts these reviews and include at least one team member who is independent from the programme. The team assesses at 2 levels: output (the direct result of programme activities) and outcome (the changes that these outputs deliver). Assessment scores are on a scale of 4, where outputs or outcomes meet or exceed expectations, to 1, where most targets were not met.

The CSSF team aims to publish information for all programmes. However, because some of the CSSF’s work is very sensitive, we cannot publish details of all programmes. The 2 main reasons for this are:

to protect national security

for the safety and security of beneficiaries, partners and partner governments

AAIB investigation to Spitfire IXT, G-BMSB, 3 May 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-09)

Loss of engine power and forced landing, near Hythe, Kent, 3 May 2025

The aircraft had been flying for about 35 minutes when the pilot noticed a slight engine vibration. This was rapidly followed by a power loss. The pilot noted a distinct smell of fuel in the cockpit and suspected a fuel problem. He briefed his passenger and established a stable glide descent to carry out a wheels-up forced landing in a field. The aircraft landed on its underside and came to a stop. The passenger suffered minor injuries and the pilot was uninjured.

The power loss was caused by the failure, probably age related, of a gasket, fitted within the pressure switch for the fuel low pressure warning light, which is attached to the carburettor. This allowed pressurised fuel to spray into the lower rear part of the engine bay, above and into, the air filter box. The fuel was then drawn into the air flow affecting the fuel air mixture, so the engine was running extremely rich. This resulted in the engine vibration and subsequent power loss.

In response to this occurrence, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) published a safety notice relating to airworthiness considerations for ageing fuel and hydraulic system components.

IHTM36010 - Penalties: types of penalty
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


Penalties can be sought for various acts or omissions that might prevent the collection of tax properly due. In general penalties arise because

an account is delivered late (IHTM36021 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm36021)), IHTA84/S245

there is a failure to deliver an account ((IHTM36081 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm36081)),IHTA84/S245

there is a failure to meet the requirements of IHTA84/S218A where an instrument of variation made on or after 1 August 2002 results in additional tax (IHTM36091 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm36091)), IHTA84/S245A (1A)

an account, information or document is incorrect (IHTM36102 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm36102)), IHTA84/S247 or

there is a failure to correct an earlier error within a reasonable timescale (IHTM36102 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm36102)), IHTA84/S248

there is a failure to comply with a IHTA84/S219A notice for information (IHTM32221), IHTA84/S245A (3).

We may also seek penalties where there is a failure

to comply with a IHTA84/S219 information notice (IHTM32231), IHTA84/S245A (2)

to make a return under IHTA84/S.218 of names and addresses of both the settlor and trustees where a settlor is a long-term UK resident (after 6 April 2025) (IHTM47000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000#)) or domiciled in the UK (before 6 April 2025) (IHTM13000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13000)) and the trustees are not resident in the UK, IHTA/S245A(1)

The situations that give rise to the latter group of penalties are rarely seen and they are dealt with by Litigation.
IEIM402182 - Reportable Information: Validity of self-certification
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)


For reporting for the calendar year 2026 onwards, Reporting Financial Institutions must report, for each Reportable Account Holder and for each Reportable Controlling Person, whether a valid self-certification has been provided.

Only one of the values “true”, “false” or “not reported”, can be reported in relation to each Account Holder or Controlling Person respectively. Therefore, where an Account Holder or Controlling Person has more than one jurisdiction of tax residence, the same value will be reportable to each jurisdiction.

The value “not reported” is a transitional measure and only to be used for reporting additional or amended information in returns relating to calendar years prior to 2026.

If a valid self-certification is not held, either because a valid self-certification has never been obtained, or because a previously valid self-certification has become unreliable due to a change in circumstances (see IEIM (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-exchange-of-information/ieim403180)403180 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-exchange-of-information/ieim403180)), then the account should be reported as “false” in the “SelfCert” element of the XML schema.

For further information on what constitutes a valid self-certification, see IEIM403140 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-exchange-of-information/ieim403140).

Where a self-certification has been obtained for a New Account, it must contain a TIN for each reportable jurisdiction that issues a TIN (see IEIM (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-exchange-of-information/ieim402040)402040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-exchange-of-information/ieim402040)) in order to be valid.

Where a self-certification is obtained in order to cure indicia for a Preexisting Account, the self-certification may be relied on even if it does not contain a TIN provided that the Financial Institution has requested the TIN and continues to use reasonable efforts to obtain the TIN, including whenever AML/KYC information is updated.
