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 Keep Active (NE) CIC 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 Keep Active (NE) CIC 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:

- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets

Responsible AI in Recruitment guide
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-29)

Guidance for procuring and deploying AI responsibly in the HR and recruitment sector.

Description

This guidance identifies potential ethical risks of using AI in recruitment and hiring processes. It further outlines how AI assurance mechanisms can provide organisations with the tools, processes and metrics to evaluate the performance of AI systems, manage risks, and ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.

It is intended for organisations seeking to procure and deploy AI systems in their recruitment processes. The guidance is written for a non-technical audience and assumes a minimal understanding of AI and data-driven technologies, and is appropriate for organisations with or without a comprehensive AI strategy.

Through this guidance, readers will gain an understanding of:
- key considerations: Core areas organisations should consider when procuring and deploying AI responsibly in recruitment.
- assurance mechanisms: Actions which aim to directly address these considerations and support alignment with the UK government’s AI regulatory principles.
- justified trust in suppliers: Examples of what constitutes acceptable evidence of a supplier’s claims around their system.
- key risks: Examples of the key risks arising from use cases of AI in recruitment.

We know that tax agents spend a lot of time using guidance and services on GOV.UK to interact with HMRC. This handbook is a way to help you find the guidance and information that you need to do your job.

The HMRC standard for agents (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hmrc-the-standard-for-agents) gives you guidance on the minimum standards that have been set for all agents and, in particular, those that are not related to any professional body. We expect high standards that promote tax compliance from anyone who represents or gives advice to taxpayers. Agents should ensure that returns are completed correctly, and show that they, and their clients, have taken reasonable care (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch84540).

Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard Hub
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-08)

The Government Digital Service (GDS) is helping public sector organisations provide clear information about how and why they are using algorithmic tools.

The Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard (ATRS) establishes a standardised way for public sector organisations to publish information about how and why they are using algorithmic tools.

Algorithmic transparency means being open about how algorithmic tools support decisions. This includes providing information on algorithmic tools and algorithm-assisted decisions in a complete, open, understandable, easily-accessible, and free format.

The Hub is made up of
- The ATRS template for public sector organisations to complete (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/algorithmic-transparency-template)
- Guidance for organisations completing the ATRS template (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-organisations-using-the-algorithmic-transparency-recording-standard)
- Scope and exemptions policy for mandatory use of the ATRS (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/algorithmic-transparency-recording-standard-mandatory-scope-and-exemptions-policy)
- A repository of published ATRS records (https://www.gov.uk/algorithmic-transparency-records)
The ATRS was developed by teams now situated in the Government Digital Service (GDS). Its design and development was underpinned by extensive collaboration with public sector, industry and academic stakeholders as well as a public engagement study. It was piloted with a variety of public sector organisations.

The ATRS is mandatory for all government departments, and for arm’s-length bodies (ALBs) which deliver public or frontline services, or directly interact with the general public. The scope and exemptions policy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/algorithmic-transparency-recording-standard-mandatory-scope-and-exemptions-policy), published in December 2024, sets out the organisations and algorithmic tools for which the ATRS is a requirement in more detail. The ATRS remains recommended by the Data Standards Authority (https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/data-standards-authority) for use in the broader public sector.

The Blueprint for Modern Digital Government (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-blueprint-for-modern-digital-government/a-blueprint-for-modern-digital-government-html) published in January 2025 stated that government would ‘enhance transparency by building on the Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard to increase openness about AI usage’. We look forward to continuing to enhance and iterate the ATRS and encourage its use across the public sector.

Evaluation of Access to Work Plus – Qualitative research with employees, employers and DWP staff involved in the Access to Work Plus Proof of Concept
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)

This report summarises the impact of the Access to Work Plus (AtW+) Proof of Concept (PoC) on supporting employees with health conditions and/or disabilities to remain in work and their employers. The report also explores the effectiveness of the application process and delivery of the PoC.

Research background

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) commissioned The Policy Institute at King’s College London to conduct qualitative research on the impact, feasibility and delivery of Access to Work Plus (AtW+) for wider implementation. The study explored how AtW+ was implemented, its effects on employees and employers, and its potential integration into standard AtW delivery.

This study used a qualitative approach, including 32 semi-structured interviews and focus groups with employees and employers in receipt of AtW+ as well as DWP case managers involved in AtW+ (carried out between August 2024 and January 2025). Participants were purposively selected from DWP samples to ensure a diversity of perspectives and experiences.

Contribution to the evidence base

Given AtW+ was only launched in May 2022, there is currently no other evidence about the impact or effectiveness of the Proof of Concept (PoC). Therefore, this research is critically important to building the evidence base on AtW+ to inform decisions on the potential future rollout of the scheme.

Research value

The future of AtW+ will be considered as part of the Pathways to Work Green Paper, in line with our wider reform plans.

c. the direct or indirect transfer of assets of one close company to another close company, and

the person does not pay or bear Income Tax on the consideration.

Relevant consideration – condition A

Where a. or b. above applies the relevant consideration is that which
- which are available for distribution, or
- which would have been available for distribution apart from anything done by the company, or
- is received in respect of future receipts of the company, or
- is or represents the value of trading stock.
Assets for this purpose do not include amounts which are shown to represent a return of sums paid by subscribers on the issue of securities. To the extent that the assets can alternatively be shown to represent a return of distributable profits, for example where there are distributable reserves in the profit and loss account, this exclusion is unlikely to apply.

Example:
- Holding company A Ltd reduces its share capital by £1m and pays that amount to its members;
- At the time of the reduction in share capital it has distributable reserves of £2m.
Here the whole £1m may be relevant consideration because the money used to make the payment can represent distributable reserves as an alternative to subscribed capital, although sometimes it might be demonstrated that such a return represents subscribed capital only.

Where c. above applies, the relevant consideration is defined as for condition B, see CTM36823 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm36823).

FCDO Services spend over £25,000, May 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-11)

FCDO Services spend in the UK for transactions totalling over £25,000 by month.

The government is committed to publishing departmental spend over £25,000 as part of its commitment to transparency and open government. This is the FCDO Services spend in the UK for transactions totalling over £25,000 published by month. Transactions that appear to be under £25,000 are due to the transaction being over £25,000 before removing recoverable VAT, or where an invoice over £25,000 has been split between multiple expense types, and/or expense areas. We have published our spend in line with Cabinet Office guidelines which allow for data protection of individuals and security constraints.

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

When either a trader reports, or an officer finds, a discrepancy between the entered quantity and the quantity of goods actually received, follow the procedures below:

Low amounts of duty

If the amount of uncollected duty is less than £10, the trader’s stock records can be amended. No further action is required.

Deficiencies

If the deficiency is claimed to have arisen before importation:
- the trader should provide suitable evidence of short shipment or short landing to their supervising office
Transit losses

For losses after importation, the C88 (SAD) is to be endorsed accordingly providing the officer is satisfied that:
- the whole of the deficiency was caused by accidental loss in transit, and
- there are no grounds for suspecting that any of the goods have gone onto the UK market.
Attach a report to any documentary evidence and consider Authorised Use complete.

Goods in excess

The Customs Declaration together with details of the excess, should be forwarded to the supervising office for filing in the trader's folder.

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.

Accessible Tables and Improved Quality

As part of the Analysis Function Reproducible Analytical Pipeline Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/standards-for-official-statistics-published-by-the-department-for-transport/analysis-function-rap-strategy-2023-implementation-plan-at-dft), processes to create all National Travel Survey (NTS) statistics tables have been improved to follow the principles of Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP). This has resulted in improved efficiency and quality of NTS tables and therefore some historical estimates have seen very minor change, at least the fifth decimal place.

All NTS tables have also been redesigned in an accessible format where they can be used by as many people as possible, including people with an impaired vision, motor difficulties, cognitive impairments or learning disabilities and deafness or impaired hearing.

If you wish to provide feedback on these changes then please contact (#contact) us.

Acreage Rural Limited

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 Acreage Rural Limited 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 Acreage Rural Limited 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
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.
