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 Little Kitchen and Bathroom Company Ltd 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 Little Kitchen and Bathroom Company Ltd 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
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

15 days additional paid leave for Reservists 6 days additional paid leave for CFAV’s 2 days additional paid leave for spouses/partners

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.
VAEC8880 - How to assess and correct: Error correction procedures: VAT657 Assessment details by period
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-18)


For information about retired VAT systems, go to VAEC0150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-assessments-and-error-correction/vaec0150). For information about Making Tax Digital for VAT and ETMP processes, go to VAEC0200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-assessments-and-error-correction/vaec0200).

This part of the VAT657 gives details of the tax assessment for each period covered by the error correction. Interest is not period specific and is therefore only shown on the assessment summary. The computer will print the details of the prescribed accounting period to which the correction relates.

The VAT657 provides the error correction type and the reason code for each line detail completed on the VAT642. The notes which accompany the assessment explain the reason codes to the trader.

If two or more detail lines are completed on the VAT642 for the same period, this will be reflected on the VAT657 and separate boxes will appear on the VAT657 for each line on the VAT642.

For each period, the total of all tax assessments, but not interest, appears in the box headed Total amount due to or, due from HMRC for this period.

Care should be taken when issuing error corrections containing

Period reference 00/00

The period start and end dates must be inserted manually by the local office. Failure to complete these dates renders the error correction invalid. Several cases have come to light where these dates have been omitted.

If it comes to your attention that this has occurred, a valid assessment must be issued. This can be achieved by the input of a
- VAT644 to withdraw the error correction, but the trader must not be advised of this action, and
- VAT642 to produce a new VAT657 on which the start and end dates are manually inserted.
The new VAT642 should show the same remittance details as the original VAT642. If the correction was paid subsequent to the issue of the VAT657, the remittance will have to be appropriated to the correction following the VAT Civil Penalties (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-civil-penalties/vcp) guidance.

A covering letter should accompany the new documents to inform the trader that the original error correction was invalid.

You should be aware of any temporary credit that may occur as a result of this action. A repayment inhibit should be set to stop any temporary credit being repaid to the trader.

Dropped periods

The outputs for error correction on dropped periods only show a period reference. As our legal advisors have advised that period dates should also be included on the VAT657, officers should insert this information manually.

Periods after the date of insolvency

The VAT657 should be checked to establish if any periods have been assessed for interest after the insolvency date. If such a situation arises you should contact Debt Management and Banking, National Insolvency Unit.
EIM70790 - Tax treatment of teachers and academics: claims for capital allowances on computers, and similar items
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-23)


Section 36 CAA 2001

The guidance on claims for capital allowances by employees at EIM36500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim36500) onwards applies to teachers and academics as it does to all other employees. The paragraphs which follow amplify but do not replace that guidance. In cases of doubt or difficulty, refer to EIM36500 onwards as well as the following paragraphs.

Virtually all teachers and lecturers have access to stationery, and to duplicating and appropriate secretarial facilities, provided by their employer. Consequently the purchase by individuals of their own equipment to store, print or reproduce items such as class records, resource material or lesson notes is unlikely to meet the conditions set out at EIM36540 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim36540). Although a teacher may feel that the school or college facilities are inadequate, and that possession of their own equipment makes them more effective in their job, the critical question is whether another teacher could carry out the duties (in the sense of fulfilling the contractual requirements) with what the employer provides.

The position is somewhat different where the teacher or lecturer concerned is under a contractual obligation to undertake academic research at degree level or above. In such cases the academic frequently has not only a degree of choice as to the subject of the research but also as to the way in which it is pursued (see the penultimate paragraph of EIM36550 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim36550)). His or her employer is much less likely to make provision for secretarial or other assistance in carrying out the research and, where the onus is on the employee to supply what is needed, capital allowances may be given in the following circumstances:
- where the equipment purchased merely fulfils tasks previously carried out by more laborious means (for example, storage of information previously held on index cards), or
- where the research itself intrinsically requires the equipment (for example computer analysis of statistics).
If, in addition to its use in connection with research, the equipment is also used in connection with teaching duties or for private purposes, the allowance due may need to be apportioned (see EIM36570 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim36570)).
Research with customers who struggle to engage with HMRC communications
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-27)

Qualitative research exploring ways of improving HMRC communications relating to Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/get-ready-for-making-tax-digital-for-income-tax) is a new way of reporting income and expenses for sole traders and landlords.

Under the new way of reporting, sole traders and landlords will use compatible software that enables them to:
- create and store digital records of their business income and expenses
- send quarterly updates to HMRC
- submit a tax return and pay tax due by 31 January the following year
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) communications campaigns will use multiple channels to raise awareness of the change. However, some customers who don’t pay attention to, or struggle to engage with, traditional communications from HMRC may not realise that the change is happening. They may fail to take action at the appropriate time.

HMRC commissioned Verian to carry out qualitative research in order to explore:
- the barriers that certain customers face which might lead them to not pay attention to, or struggle to engage with, HMRC’s traditional communications
- the most effective communication styles, methods and channels to ensure they are made aware of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax and take action
All fieldwork took place between 16 February and 3 April 2024.
Treatment of compensation payments for miscarriage of justice and means-tested benefits

From 22 July 2025, the Department for Work and Pensions is no longer counting miscarriage of justice compensation as capital and income when calculating means-tested benefits.

Compensation through the miscarriage of justice compensation scheme was classed as capital when calculating means-tested benefits. This has now been changed. As a result, people could now be eligible for means-tested benefits.

RDRM73100 - Temporary repatriation facility: Designating qualifying overseas capital: Overview
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


Individuals using the temporary repatriation facility (TRF) do not have to remit the amount they designate during the TRF period in order to benefit from the low tax rate, although they can if they choose to.

In order to be designated, the amount must meet the definition of ‘qualifying overseas capital’ – this is explained at RDRM72000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm72000) onwards. In order to make designations, individuals need to meet specific criteria – see RDRM73200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm73200).

The TRF is a charge on amounts of net capital after the deductions of any foreign tax paid or payable – see RDRM73330 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm73330).

Designations must be made in an individual’s Self Assessment tax return – the designation process and requirements are explained at RDRM73310 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm73310) onwards. When an individual makes a designation, although they will actually make their designation in their tax return after the year end, the designation is treated as having taken place at the start of the tax year to which the return relates. So, for example, any amounts that an individual remits in the 2025-26 tax year and then designates in their 2025-26 return will be treated as designated qualifying overseas capital from 6 April 2025.

Guidance on quantifying amounts of designated qualifying overseas capital can be found at RDRM73500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm73500), and the interaction with the mixed fund ordering rules is explained at RDRM75100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm75100) onwards.

The Prime Minister hosted Eli Sharabi in Downing Street this morning.

The Prime Minister began by saying how pleased he was to see Eli, and paid tribute to his phenomenal courage and bravery. He expressed his heartfelt condolences to Eli on the loss of his wife, Lianne, daughters Noiya and Yahel, and brother Yossi.

Hearing firsthand about his 16-month ordeal, the Prime Minister said he could not begin to imagine what Eli had been through.

It was a brutal reminder of what the remaining hostages were enduring, the Prime Minister said.

The UK would redouble its intensive work, at all levels, to secure the release of the remaining 59 hostages, the Prime Minister added.

All efforts needed to focus on full implementation of the remaining phases of the ceasefire and reuniting the remaining hostages with their loved ones, the Prime Minister said.

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 Jones Building Group Ltd 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 Jones Building Group Ltd 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:

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.
