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 Micross Electronics 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 Micross Electronics 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
- Discounts
- 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.

BKM404150 - Banking surcharge: surcharge allowance: periods straddling 1 April 2023
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-11)


FA2022/S6

From 1 April 2023, the surcharge allowance increased from £25 million to £100 million.

Where a company's accounting period straddles 1 April 2023, the period will be split on a time apportionment basis. The increased allowance will apply to the notional period commencing on 1 April 2023 and the Surcharge will apply at the relevant rate to the profits of each notional period.

Example

Company A has an accounting period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. Company A's surcharge profits for the period are £80m.

The accounting period straddles 1 April 2023, so is split into two notional periods:
- 1 January to 31 March 2023 (90 days)
- 1 April to 31 December 2023 (275 days)
As each notional accounting period is less than 12 months, the available surcharge allowance for each period is proportionally reduced.

Calculation

Apportioned profits:
- Profits for 1 January to 31 March 2023: £80m x (90/365) = £19.73m
- Profits for 1 April to 31 December 2023: £80m x (275/365) = £60.27m
Apportioned allowance:
- Allowance for 1 January to 31 March 2023: £25m x (90/365) = £6.16m
- Allowance for 1 April to 31 December 2023: £100m x (275/365) = £75.34m
Apply Surcharge to profits over the allowance:
- 1 January to 31 March 2023: Surcharge is charged on £13.57m (£19.73m profits - £6.16m allowance)
- 1 April to 31 December 2023: No Surcharge is due as the maximum allowance available (£75.34m) exceeds the surcharge profits (£60.27m)
Company A's total Surcharge liability for the accounting period ending 31 December 2023 is the amount due on £13.57m arising in the notional period 1 January - 31 March 2023, charged at the applicable rate for that notional period.

The unused allowance of £15.07m, from the notional period commencing 1 April 2023, cannot be carried back to use against profits of the first notional period which arose prior to 1 April 2023, nor can it be carried forward.

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 VTS Event Medical Services 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 VTS Event Medical Services 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
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

-Working with the CTP in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for service leavers

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.

SACM12230 - Overpayment relief: Special relief: Further conditions
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-31)


There are three particular conditions which must be met for special relief to be available. These reflect HMRC’s former practice in applying equitable liability, see SACM12210 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm12210). The conditions are:

A - In the opinion of the Commissioners it would be unconscionable for HMRC to seek to recover the amount which has been charged by a determination, or refuse to repay it if it has already been paid, see SACM12240 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm12240).B - The person’s tax affairs are otherwise up to date or arrangements have been made to the satisfaction of the Commissioners to bring them up to date as far as possible, see SACM12250 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm12250).C - The person has not previously claimed special relief or sought equitable liability - whether or not relief was given, see SACM12260 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm12260).

Condition C may be disregarded in exceptional circumstances. See SACM12260 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm12260) (subsequent claims).

Any claim for special relief must include such information and documentation as is reasonably required to determine whether these conditions are met.

Enforcement Insolvency Service (EIS) is responsible for determining whether a claim to special relief can be accepted and in particular whether these three conditions are met and must be signed by the person making the claim.

Schedule 1AB para 3A (8) states that a claim made under this provision must include anything required by Schedule 1A TMA 1970. Para 2 Schedule 1A provides for the making of claims. The link at SACM3015 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm3015) provides guidance as to how claims should be made.

Therefore, as soon as a claim is received in a local office and is identified as potentially a claim to special relief, you should refer any relevant papers as soon as possible (This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)(This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)

However, local offices will be involved in considering evidence of the correct tax liability and whether the person’s other tax affairs are up to date after forwarding the papers to EIS - see SACM12250 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm12250).
