We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We The British Music Service will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 The British Music Service recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/services-information).

Customs Warehousing can be discharged by declaring goods to Inward Processing (IP), Temporary Admission (TA) or Authorised-use. The full declaration procedure (or simplified declaration procedure where specifically authorised) should be used. For NI goods, where the declaration to another customs procedure will be in another EU Member State the goods may be moved using accurate records of the location and movement of the goods. This method of discharge must be in the customs warehouse authorisation. It requires consultation between the Member States (MS) involved, with the office of discharge named in the customs warehouse authorisation and the office of placement must be in the authorisation held in the other MS.

UCC 2446/15 Article 179 (3) (b) and (c) for NI

Discharge of the customs warehouse procedure can also be made by declaration of eligible goods to Military Authorised-use using Customs Procedure Code (CPC) 40 71 005. Further information on Military Authorised-use can be found in SPE16200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/customs-special-procedures/spe16200).

Note: Northern Ireland (NI) customs authorisations will continue to fall within the provisions of the Union Customs Code (UCC), as retained by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and CEMA 1979.

CH402251 - Charging penalties: establishing penalty behaviour: planning what questions to ask: inaccuracies
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-01)


This page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the technical guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

Often, when you have found an inaccuracy and quantified the potential lost revenue, you will already have sufficient, if not all, of the evidence you need to decide whether the inaccuracy was a mistake despite taking reasonable care, or if it was the result of a failure to take reasonable care.

In less straightforward inaccuracy cases, involving potentially deliberate or deliberate with concealment behaviour, you will need to ask the person for further information, to obtain evidence for a decision on penalty behaviour.

When you intend to put the questions to the person in a face to face meeting, you should prepare the questions in advance so that you are clear on the facts that you need to establish and to make sure you do not forget to ask anything important during the meeting.

It is good practice to start by establishing important basic facts which will prevent later disagreements about how and why the inaccuracy happened.

You can put your view to the person at the end of the check after getting approval if necessary, see CH407000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch407000) and CH408000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch408000).

Example

A business uses an accounting software package and in its Corporation Tax return has set against its profits an item of expenditure that it is not allowed to claim. You are told that the inaccuracy happened because the bookkeeper used an incorrect accounting code.

You may want to ask questions about how experienced the bookkeeper is in using the accounting software package and what instructions they were given about the expenditure and its accounting treatment.

You can find other examples of questions to establish behaviour at CH402301 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch402301).

Before you ask the person about their behaviour, you must issue the HRA and penalty factsheets and explain the process to them, see CH402350 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch402350).
78th World Health Assembly: UK National Statement
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-21)

The UK's National Statement for the WHO's World Health Assembly. Delivered by the UK's Permanent Representative to the WTO and UN, Simon Manley.

Vice President,

The UK is committed to supporting WHO and its critical leadership role across global health. Only the WHO has the mandate to set global standards in health.

Even amidst our current challenges, there is a clear opportunity for the WHO to emerge more focused, more agile and more effective. We therefore support the WHO’s vital work on its Transformation Agenda and are pleased to endorse the increase in Assessed Contributions.

Let me thank the DG and WHO staff for their critical work. And let me pay a particular tribute to the staff on the increasingly dangerous front line of health emergencies, from Kyiv to Khartoum, and from Kivu to Khan Younis.

This week’s adoption of the Pandemic Agreement is a truly historic milestone for which we have all worked so hard. We must remain just as committed to tackling Anti-Microbial Resistance, which is already directly responsible for over a million deaths annually.

Chair,

The quality of WHO’s scientific and technical expertise is fundamental to its effectiveness. We are proud in the UK to host 48 WHO Collaborating Centres. We call for Taiwan to have meaningful access to all relevant technical WHO meetings, and for it to be allowed to observe the WHA as it did from 2009 to 2016.

Vice President,

Stronger health systems are at the heart of delivering health services for all and we can - and must - learn from one another. In the UK, we are on the cusp of launching our 10-year health strategy.

We are committed to tackling non-communicable diseases, including the challenge of obesity, and creating a healthier, fairer food environment. We look forward to working together at the High-Level Meeting on non-communicable diseases.

Vice-President,

In the UK, we are proud to work as partners of the WHO and with our fellow Member States. Working together, we can, must, and will drive better health across the globe.

Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

British Embassy Damascus
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-09)

The British Embassy in Damascus is unable to provide any consular assistance as operations have been suspended and diplomatic personnel have been withdrawn.

We currently advise against all travel to the Syrian Arab Republic. British nationals in Syria should leave now by commercial means while they are still available. We cannot help you leave Syria. Those who choose to remain in Syria or to visit against our advice should be aware that we cannot provide consular assistance in country.

If, despite our very clear advice to leave now, you choose to travel to Syria, or stay there, you should make sure you and your family enter Syria legally with the appropriate visa, and have a valid exit stamp on your travel documents if you need one.

Getting help

Any British nationals requiring urgent consular assistance can visit the Embassy of any EU member state in Damascus, or in an emergency contact the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office in London.

We prioritise emergencies and people who are vulnerable, for example, if someone’s:
- ill, injured, or involved in a crime
- with a British person who’s died
Get help from FCDO (https://www.contact.service.csd.fcdo.gov.uk/posts/syria/british-embassy-beirut).

If you require a first-time or renewal passport, or an emergency travel document, please contact the FCDO (https://www.contact.service.csd.fcdo.gov.uk/posts/syria/british-embassy-beirut) for further information. Please note that you will be required to apply for these services in a neighbouring country.

Our services

Visas

The UK remains committed to engaging with the Syrian people, even though we do not have a functioning embassy in Damascus. One unfortunate consequence of the closure of our embassy is that Syrians now have to travel to another country to obtain a visa for the UK. But we continue to welcome applicants via our visa centres worldwide. More details are available on the UK Visas and Immigration (https://www.gov.uk/visas-immigration).

COTAX (#cotax) Enquiry completion procedures under Schedule 1A TMA 1970 after FA 2001 (#enquiry) Schedule 1A and Paragraph 24 Schedule 18 FA 1998 (#schedule) Further information (#further)

COTAX

COTAX does not provide support for Schedule 1A enquiries into claims and elections not made in a return. You must open, conduct and close those enquiries outside COTAX.

The conclusions of a Schedule 1A enquiry normally affect the company's liabilities, so you need to update COTAX with the result. When you are ready to do so, use function RAMA (Record/Amend Assessment) and select ‘process a claim’ to:
- amend the recorded claim or record the amended claim
- suppress the assessing output as the wording of output issued by COTAX is not appropriate to settling a Schedule 1A enquiry
Enquiry completion procedures under Schedule 1A TMA 1970 after FA 2001

Schedule 29 Part 4 Paragraph 10 Finance Act (FA) 2001 amended Paragraph 7 Schedule 1A Taxes Management Act (TMA) 1970 to simplify the procedure on completion of an enquiry into claims and so on not included in returns. See the Enquiry Manual for details of the approach before FA 2001.

Your closure notice and any necessary amendment to the claim are combined into one letter, the closure notice. There was previously a 60-day process for amendments on the completion of a Schedule 1A enquiry. The taxpayer right to amend on closure does not apply to enquiries into such claims.

Schedule 1A and Paragraph 24 Schedule 18 FA 1998

There are important distinctions between the Schedule 1A Taxes Management Act (TMA) 1970 and Schedule 18 Finance Act (FA) 1998 enquiry regimes and different closure procedures apply to each. See the Enquiry Manual for further information on both regimes.

If the company has delivered a return for the Accounting Period (AP) affected by the Schedule 1A claim and you are already conducting a Paragraph 24 Schedule 18 enquiry into that return, you must handle the Schedule 1A enquiry separately from the Paragraph 24 Schedule 18 enquiry.

For authorisations, you should check whether you need to issue a secure communication and letter depending on the outcome. You must follow the relevant standard working instructions in the knowledge library.

For compliance, once your outcome letter and decision and evidence Log (DEL) have been approved by your line manager, the letter can be issued.

The guidance on how to write to customers can be seen here.

For letter templates, always use the latest copy in the knowledge library. You must not use a copy saved to your laptop, circulated by colleagues, or one that you have issued to a business previously.

Where the business has consented to correspond by email, you must ensure the letter is saved as a PDF file and attach it to your email. This is so that it cannot be amended and is not showing any comments that have been left by anyone reviewing the file.

For compliance, if your outcome is an advice letter or closure letter, the letter and notes of meeting (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh33910) can be issued together, without the requirement for the business to provide comments.
