Planning Inspectorate Performance update – April 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-25)

Performance and other updates following the publication of our latest official  statistics release.

Every three months, we publish the latest official statistics (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/planning-inspectorate-statistical-release-24-april-2025) on appeals performance, which represent the greatest volume (in terms of number of cases) of the work of the Planning Inspectorate.

We also update the appeals handling times (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/appeals-average-timescales-for-arranging-inquiries-and-hearings) data to give customers the latest information on the average time it takes to receive a decision and provide an update on our other main casework areas.

The latest set of performance statistics shows quicker decision times in some areas of casework and demonstrates the positive impact of work to reduce the number of open cases we carry.

Appeals

In each month of the last quarter (Jan, Feb and March 2025) we have closed more cases than we have received. We now have 12,086 open cases down from 13,293 a year ago (March 2024).

We have made 18,346 appeal decisions in the last 12 months up to the end of March 2025. In March we made 1,736 decisions, more than 200 more than the 12-month average of 1,529.

Our appeal cases are dealt with in one of three ways: written representations, hearings, or inquiries. Ministerial performance measures include an expectation to reduce average decision times over time and make our decision speeds more consistent. All our decision times are measured from the day we receive a valid appeal through to the day we issue a decision. This is the same approach as Local Planning Authorities.

We continue to focus on reducing our overall open caseload of appeals and making our decision times more consistent, especially planning and enforcement appeals decided after an exchange of written evidence.

Median decision times

The median decision time for cases decided over the past 12 months was 27 weeks.

At the end of March decision times for planning cases decided by written representations and hearing were both below the 12-month average, as were enforcement cases decided by inquiry.

National Infrastructure

We have a high number of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) (https://national-infrastructure-consenting.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/) at various stages, but we continue to meet all statutory deadlines:
- 61 where we are providing advice before submission.
- 15 submitted and at acceptance, pre-examination, or examination.
- 8 where we are preparing our recommendation.
- 6 where the relevant Secretary of State is considering our recommendation.
Local Plans

There are currently 61 live Local Plan examinations in progress.

At the start of each month on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/3730853/admin/page-posts/published/) we publish a list of the upcoming Local Plan hearings and a map of the NSIP applications currently in progress around the country.
The Tax Administration Framework Review: New ways to tackle non-compliance
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-28)

We welcome views on whether HMRC’s approach to correcting taxpayer inaccuracies in a claim or return could be improved.

This consultation forms part of the government’s commitment to modernising and reforming the tax administration framework. The government welcomes engagement from any individual or organisation with views on how HMRC tackles non-compliance and how this could be made more efficient and effective.

We are considering two areas for potential improvement: changes to HMRC’s existing powers and processes, and the potential for a new power to require taxpayers to correct mistakes themselves.

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 Oceaneering International 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 Oceaneering International 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
- 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.

CTM20070 - ACT: General: Qualifying and non-qualifying distributions
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-06)


A qualifying distribution is any distribution within ICTA88/S209 (distributions) and ICTA88/S418 (distribution - expenses of close companies), respectively CTM15000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm15000) onwards and CTM60500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm60500) onwards.

However, the following are non-qualifying distributions, now called CD distributions.
- A distribution of certain bonus redeemable share capital and bonus securities, which in relation to the company making it is a distribution by virtue only of ICTA88/S209 (2)(c), see CTM15450 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm15450) and CTM20075 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm20075).
- Company A may make a distribution of bonus share capital or securities directly or indirectly to Company B. This may be a distribution by virtue only of ICTA88/S209 (2)(c). If Company B later distributes that same share capital or securities this later distribution is also a non-qualifying distribution.
The amount of the distribution for the purposes of ICTA88/S209 (2)(c) is
- for redeemable share capital, the excess of the nominal amount of the share capital together with any premium payable on redemption or in a winding-up or in any other circumstances over any new consideration received,
- for any security, the excess of the principal amount secured including any premium payable at maturity or in a winding-up or in any other circumstances over any new consideration received.
As regards the treatment of qualifying and non-qualifying distributions
- received by companies resident in the UK, see CTM16100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm16100) to CTM16130 and CTM15950 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm15950);

COM71125 - Enquiries: CTSA enquiries: Partial closure notice
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-25)


The Finance Act (FA) 2017 made changes to the Taxes Management Act (TMA) 1970 and Schedule 18 of the FA 1998 to allow HMRC to close, and taxpayers to seek a Tribunal direction to require HMRC to close, specific matters of an open CTSA enquiry in advance of final closure by issuing a Partial Closure Notice (PCN).

The legislation applies to enquiries under:
- TMA 1970 S9A for an individual or trust
- TMA 1970 S12AC for a partnership
- FA 1998 Schedule 18 paragraph 24 for a company
This measure allows HMRC to conclude checks in relation to specific matters, by issuing a partial closure notice, whilst keeping the compliance check itself open until such a time that all the matters included in the check have been concluded, either by issuing further partial closure notices, or a final closure notice (FCN) to conclude the overall enquiry.

It is current HMRC policy that this measure should only be used by compliance colleagues undertaking compliance checks in Counter Avoidance and Large Business and only in specific circumstances where the following circumstances apply:
- large amounts of tax are at risk
- there is evidence of tax avoidance
- high levels of complexity occur
Further information and guidance about PCNs can be found in the Compliance Handbook at CH279600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch279600) and CH279610 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch279610).

Further information regarding the actions you must take and implications for COTAX can be found at COM71126 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com71126).

Closing an enquiry (non-contract settlements)

When closing an enquiry, if a Partial Closure Notice (PCN) has been issued during the enquiry, the caseworker should request the PCN charge in SAFE is reduced to nil and reallocate any associated payments in ETMP to COTAX. The enquiry can then be closed and a Final Closure Notice (FCN) issued with the full charge posted on COTAX. Any credit and/or debit interest is automatically calculated by COTAX.

See COM71090 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com71090) for guidance on how to issue a Final Closure Notice (non-contract settlements).

The Prime Minister co-chaired a virtual meeting of the Coalition of the Willing this morning with over 30 international leaders to update on the talks in Washington last night.

The Prime Minister began by reflecting on the constructive meeting, saying it was clear there was a real sense of unity and shared goal of securing a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

Turning to next steps, the Prime Minister outlined that Coalition of the Willing planning teams would meet with their US counterparts in the coming days to further strengthen plans to deliver robust security guarantees and prepare for the deployment of a reassurance force if the hostilities ended.

The leaders also discussed how further pressure – including through sanctions – could be placed on Putin until he showed he was ready to take serious action to end his illegal invasion.

The Prime Minister said he looked forward to updating the group again soon, as further work progressed in the coming days and weeks.
