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 BEAP Community Partnership 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 BEAP Community Partnership 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.

Stand a chance to be High Commissioner for a Day
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-11)

The British High Commission is calling for young Malaysian women to participate in its ‘High Commissioner for a Day’ competition where 2 Malaysians will have the unique opportunity to “head” a diplomatic mission, lead meetings, and get involved in a wide range of diplomatic engagements.

This competition is held in conjunction with International Women’s Day and Commonwealth Day on 8 and 10 March respectively.

Eligibility

Applicants must be Malaysian women residing in Malaysia, between the ages of 18 and 25.

How to enter competition

Submit a one-minute video answering the question, “If you were High Commissioner in a Commonwealth country, what issue would you champion and why?”.

Post the entry video on either X, Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn with the hashtag #HCforADayMY and tag @UKinMalaysia. You can also email the video link to xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

Follow the British High Commission on X (https://x.com/ukinmalaysia) for more details of the competition.

The deadline for entries is 19 February 2025, and each individual is only permitted one entry.

Acting British High Commissioner to Malaysia, David Wallace said:

Our High Commissioner for a Day campaign is back after an overwhelming response last year. We started this programme last year to empower girls, engage young leaders and provide a money-can’t-buy experience to participate in the world of diplomacy. We want to give aspiring women leaders a platform to advocate for the cause of your choice.

One of last year’s winner, Devana Zamain said:

Winning the High Commissioner for A Day competition pushed me out of my comfort zone, broadened my horizons, and helped me break into the impact industry in Sabah as a fresh graduate.

It empowered me to empower others. If you’re doubting yourself, just remember that nobody is a nobody. Your passion and voice matter.

Take the chance because you never know where it might lead you.

Another winner, Aqila Alya said:

It has been a unique experience for me. From a parliamentary meeting with YB Hannah Yeoh, followed by networking lunch and fireside chat, and lastly the Royal Commonwealth Society reception, I learned a lot about diplomatic settings and making genuine connections.

This programme really acts as an eye-opener for youth that’s still exploring their career paths and those interested in diplomatic relations.
Safety Valve agreements: views on operation and impact

Report exploring the views of stakeholders in local special educational needs and disability (SEND) systems about the impact of Safety Valve agreements.

This report presents findings from research carried out to gather the views of key stakeholders on how local strategic initiatives linked to Safety Valve agreements have operated locally and their impact on schools and other institutions, children, young people and families.

The research took place between November 2024 and May 2025 in 10 case study areas with Safety Valve agreements. It involved in-depth discussions with local SEND system leaders including:
- organisations representing parents and carers
- education settings
- health services
- local authorities
Safety Valve was a government intervention programme for local authorities in England. Local authorities were invited to participate based on having the highest deficits in their dedicated schools grant (DSG) at the time. No new Safety Valve agreements are now being made.

The findings from a pilot testing a recommended approach for measuring rail customer experience in surveys.

Findings from a pilot survey testing the feasibility of a methodology for measuring rail customer experience across Britain. The pilot was conducted between December 2023 and January 2024.

The pilot focused on understanding the operational feasibility of a recommended revised survey design for data collection.

The main areas researched included:
- the use of on-board recruitment of participants as the primary method
- digital response options (QR code, email)
- use of the Journey Picker Tool, a software solution to improve the accuracy of rail journey information
- sampling based on data from MOIRA, a model for analysing timetable and demand changes, and LENNON (Latest Earning Networked Nationally Overnight) which provide ticket and earnings data for rail operators to ensure representativeness
- weighting of response by time of day, station size, journey volume, age, and gender
The reports provide recommendations for improving future surveys.

Evidence provided includes:
- the overall and individual method response rates
- fieldworker feedback on recruitment challenges and passenger engagement
- the sample sizes achieved across train operating companies
- operational insights into shift scheduling, permissions and data flow
A further, more detailed, technical report of the findings is included as well as guides for both the Journey Picker Tool and response weighting.

This pilot built on the earlier method review and field trials (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rail-customer-experience-review-of-existing-survey-collection-methodologies) and was used in the Rail Customer Experience Survey (https://raildata.org.uk/rcxs).

Judicial Summary

This is an appeal by Xport Transport Ltd against the decision of the Presiding Officer, on behalf of the Department for Infrastructure, to revoke its operator’s licence on the findings that it had lost its good repute and lacked financial standing. The Presiding Officer’s decision to revoke the operator’s licence was challenged on the grounds of procedural unfairness arising from the late disclosure of evidence, illegality and proportionality. The Upper Tribunal found several procedural irregularities in the handling of late evidence and in the decision-making process, leading to the conclusion that the Presiding Officer’s decision was “plainly wrong.” The case was remitted for re-determination before a different decision maker on behalf of the Department for Infrastructure (NI).

Wholesale Financial Markets Digital Strategy
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-15)

This strategy sets out the government’s approach to digitalising the UK’s wholesale financial markets

Digitalisation will enable the UK to improve the efficiency of its wholesale markets. It also presents opportunities to fundamentally reimagine and transform the way they operate.

The UK will grasp the opportunities presented by digitalisation to make its wholesale markets better, both by removing outdated processes and by taking decisive action to realise the potential benefits of new technologies like distributed ledger technology.

This paper outlines the broad steps that need to be taken to achieve this and sets out how the government, regulators and industry will collaborate. This includes appointing a Digital Markets Champion to lead, join up and coordinate the private sector’s work on this.

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 Viking Garden Services 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 Viking Garden Services 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
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

-working with the Career Transition Partnership (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.
COM100110 - Penalties: late delivery of returns: tax-related penalties
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-13)


This subject is presented as follows.

General (#IDAGSFOF)

Tax unpaid (#IDAWTFOF)

S963 CTA 2010 (formerly S102 FA 1989) surrenders (#IDAGUFOF)

Amendment to CT chargeable (#IDAAVFOF)

General

If a company fails to deliver its return within 18 months after the end of the Accounting Period (AP), it is potentially liable to a penalty.

The penalties chargeable are:
- 10% of the tax unpaid at the 18-month point or, if later, the filing date, if the company delivers its return within two years of the end of the AP
- 20% of the tax unpaid at the 18-month point or, if later, the filing date, if the company delivers its return later than two years after the end of the AP
The filing date may exceptionally fall after the 18-month point when:
- the notice to deliver is issued late
- there is a short AP at the beginning of a long period of account
In such cases the company incurs no tax-related penalty providing it delivers its return by the filing date.

Tax unpaid

Tax unpaid is the amount of tax payable by the company for the Accounting Period (AP) for which the return was required remaining unpaid on the date when the liability to the penalty arises under legislation.

Exceptionally, if the filing date for the return is more than 18 months after the end of the AP, the penalty is based upon the tax unpaid at that later date.

In arriving at the amount of tax payable, you do not allow any deferred relief due under the provisions of Section 458 Corporation Tax Act 2010, relief in respect of repayment of loan.

S963 CTA 2010 (formerly S102 FA 1989) surrenders

Section 963 (S963) Corporation Tax Act (CTA) 2010 allows the surrender of a tax refund from one group company to another. For more information, see COM120000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com120000) onwards.

To calculate tax unpaid for the purpose of a tax-related penalty, the recipient company is treated as having paid the amount of the refund on the day the two companies jointly gave notice to the caseworker under S963 CTA 2010 not as having paid the tax on the date when the tax was paid by the surrendering company.

If the notice of surrender is given after the 18-month point, tax-related penalties must be based on the tax unpaid on the date when the liability to the penalty arises.

Amendment to CT chargeable

The final CT charge may not have been established for the Accounting Period (AP) when the tax-related penalty is charged. If the amount of the CT charge on which a tax-related penalty has been based is subsequently amended, COTAX automatically recalculates and issues an amended determination.
