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 Advocacy Focus 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Advocacy Focus 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

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day

Under the agreement the Swiss can provide details of
- the number of accounts
- the identity of the provider(s) of the accounts
that a UK resident has.

It will not provide
- the balances
- specific debits or credits
- bank statements.
These details may be obtained using other information powers or through the double taxation treaty with Switzerland. However, you will need to demonstrate that you have exhausted all other possible alternatives first, see INTM156060 (http://home.active.hmrci/intmanual/INTM156060.htm).

Information requests must relate directly to individuals. It is expected that the majority of requests will be made in respect of individual Income Tax Self Assessment checks. However, requests for information are not restricted to any particular tax or duty under the agreement. For example, you may wish to make a request in connection with a director of a company that could lead to additional corporation tax. If you would like to make a request to Switzerland in respect of other tax and duties, please contact the OCU (mailto:HMRC, OCU (SI Offshore Coordination Unit)) to discuss the circumstances.

Before you make a request, please ensure that you are not seeking information that may be obtained by using HMRC’s information powers under Schedule 36 Finance Act 2008, see CH23000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch23000).

This brief explains a further policy change to VAT deduction on the management of pension funds.

Employers can now claim back all the VAT on investment costs linked to pension funds. They no longer need to split the costs with pension trustees. If trustees are providing pension fund management services and charging the employer, they can also claim back VAT on their costs, as long as they’re VAT-registered. Both must still follow the usual VAT rules.

Proposal on the future of Stirling SSCS Tribunal Hearing Centre
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-06)

Seeking views on the proposal to permanently close Stirling SSCS Tribunal Hearing Centre.

The consultation is to seek views on the proposal to permanently close Stirling SSCS Tribunal Hearing Centre.

Stirling Tribunal Hearing Centre hears cases in the Social Security and Child Support (SSCS) chamber of the First-tier Tribunal. This is a reserved tribunal. Over time, some parts of the reserved tribunals have transferred to the Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service (SCTS). The Scottish Government now administers its own benefit schemes within the Scottish Social Security Agency, and therefore some of the associated SSCS tribunals are now administered by SCTS, leading to a reduction in work at Stirling that can in the future be heard at Glasgow Tribunal Hearing Centre

The consultation seeks the views of anyone with an interest in, or views on, the subject matter covered by this proposal.

This consultation is being conducted in line with the Consultation Principles issued by the Cabinet Office and will run for 4 weeks and will close at 23.59 on 3 September 2025.

We will carefully consider all responses to the consultation before a final decision is made.

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 NXTGEN Recruitment 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment
