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 McCormick Construction Consultancy 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 McCormick Construction Consultancy 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 Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
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.

Check if you should claim overpayment relief for Corporation Tax
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-09)

If you believe you’ve overpaid tax, use the tool to tell you if an overpayment relief claim is the correct way for you to claim it back.

If you believe your company has overpaid Corporation Tax you may claim overpayment relief.

The ‘check if you should make a claim’ tool in this guide is for agents and companies.

The tool:
- tells you how to claim
- explains why your claim for overpayment relief may not be successful
Who can claim

You can only claim if (for the accounting period you’re claiming for) you’ve:
- paid Corporation Tax
- been assessed to pay Corporation Tax
Agents cannot make an overpayment relief claim on behalf of a company.

We will reject your claim if a listed exclusion (HMRC manual SACM12070) (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm12070) applies to you.

When can you claim

The time limit for claiming is 4 years from the end of the relevant accounting period. Find out how to determine the relevant accounting period (HMRC manual SACM12155) (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm12155).

Your accounting period is the time covered by the Company Tax Return.

Read about how HMRC considers late claims (HMRC manual SACM10040) (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm10040).

What you need

To use the tool you’ll need to tell us:
- the end date of the accounting period you made the mistake in
- if you paid Corporation Tax for this period
- if you’ve been assessed to pay Corporation Tax for this period
- if you under-declared a loss
- if you submitted a return
- if you think any exclusions apply
- if other accounting periods were impacted — for example, an under-declared loss was carried forward into the next accounting period
Check if you should make a claim

Use the tool to find out if you should make a claim for Corporation Tax overpayment relief.

Check now (https://tax.service.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-a-company-should-make-an-overpayment-relief-claim)

If you make a claim

You must submit a claim in this format (HMRC manual SACM12150) (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm12150).

If you do not make a correct claim you risk rejection, delays and missing deadlines for claiming. To avoid errors review the overpayment relief manual SACM1200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm12000).

HMRC may open an enquiry into your claim and ask you for evidence to support it such as:
- documentary proof of the tax deduction
- evidence of the tax being suffered in some other way

HALO Award 2025 winner announced
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-09)

Anna McLoughlin Fine Jewellery wins the Hallmarking Awareness and Learning Online (HALO) Award 2025.

The British Hallmarking Council (BHC) is delighted to learn that Anna McLoughlin Fine Jewellery has been awarded the prestigious Hallmarking Awareness and Learning Online (HALO) Award for 2025, in recognition of her innovative work to engage customers with the importance of hallmarking and consumer protection in the jewellery sector.

The HALO Award, established by the BHC in 2021, and now operating under the Assay Assured banner, a joint venture between the 4 assay offices of the UK (Birmingham, Edinburgh, London and Sheffield) is awarded annually. HALO recognises the UK-based jewellery business that uses their online platform in the most creative ways to leverage the added value that hallmarking provides, and to educate their audience on the meaning and importance of the hallmark.

Anna McLoughlin, founder of Anna McLoughlin Fine Jewellery, said:

I’m absolutely thrilled to have won the HALO award for a second time. I feel that hallmarking, and raising awareness of it amongst both my clients and fellow micro-businesses, is incredibly important. It adds prestige to a piece and is a legal guarantee that the quality of the metal is actually what I say it is!

By law, all items described as being made from precious metals above certain weight limits must be hallmarked by one of the 4 UK Assay Offices. The hallmark confirms the metal’s purity, identifies the individual or business putting the item on the market, and ultimately protects both consumers and retailers from counterfeiting and false descriptions.

The Chair of the British Hallmarking Council, Noel Hunter, said:

I congratulate Anna McLoughlin Fine Jewellery on winning this year’s HALO Award and commend the extensive efforts undertaken to educate and protect the consumer by embedding hallmarking awareness into all aspects of the business.

For more information on hallmarking, visit the British Hallmarking Council (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/british-hallmarking-council) and Assay Assured (https://www.assayassured.co.uk) websites.

The UN Verification Mission has been critical to the implementation of the 2016 Peace Agreement in Colombia: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-31)

UK statement ahead of the vote on the Colombia UNSCR, delivered by James Kariuki, UK Chargé d’Affaires to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on Colombia.

The United Kingdom reaffirms its unwavering support for the 2016 Peace Agreement.

Over the past decade, the UN Verification Mission has been critical to the implementation of the Peace Agreement, supporting signatories and communities with reintegration and reconciliation.

The Mission’s mandate should evolve in line with the situation on the ground, so that it can fully fulfil its primary objective of monitoring implementation of the peace process.

The resolution before us therefore focuses the Mission’s tasks on fundamental drivers of conflict in Colombia, while continuing to call for full implementation of the Peace Agreement.

The United Kingdom will continue to champion transitional justice in Colombia, which remains vital for reconciliation and sustainable peace.

This includes our support to the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, which issued landmark sentences this year. We applaud the work of the SJP and welcome the progress being made on justice and accountability for victims.

We will also continue to support an inclusive approach to peace in Colombia. Including for Indigenous and Afro-Colombians, who have deep knowledge of their territories, cultures, and conflict dynamics. This is crucial to building lasting peace.

We urge the Council to continue its longstanding partnership for peace with the Colombian people, and we hope Council members will join us in voting for this resolution.

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.

Source: gov.uk (2025-01-09)

Environment Agency regulatory position on when you can store and spread zoo manure to benefit land.

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have an environmental permit for a waste operation or a relevant exemption when you store, or to have an environmental permit for a waste operation when you spread, zoo manure (waste code 20 01 99) to benefit land.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in the RPS.

The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.
