Consultation on changes to the UK designs framework
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-04)

This consultation seeks views from designers on how to improve the UK designs system and ensure that it best supports UK businesses.

You may respond to the consultation via Citizen Space (https://ipoconsultations.citizenspace.com/ipo/uk-designs-consultation/).

Designs consultation overview video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNrEeqZVbbE)

The UK’s design system has not been updated since limited changes were made in 2016.

The increased use of digital technology since then and the UK’s departure from the EU mean that a comprehensive review is needed to ensure that the framework best supports UK designs businesses. The UK intellectual property system for the protection of designs is complex and users consider it difficult to navigate, especially small businesses which represent the majority of the sector.

To understand what users want, the Intellectual Property Office is carrying out a consultation of the UK designs system. The consultation is wide-ranging and technical in nature to make the system more accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), allowing them to protect and enforce their intellectual property rights more easily and efficiently. This will ensure the IP framework gives the UK a competitive edge by encouraging greater innovation and growth in the sector.
CIRD60160 - Land Remediation Relief: Exclusions: Polluter Pays: Polluter obtains benefit of relief
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-25)


CTA09/S1150 (3)(b)

The legislation excludes from the relief cases where the land is sold by the polluter (or a person with a relevant connection to the polluter) and the sale price agreed reflects the value of the land in a decontaminated state.

Example:

A Ltd, knowing of the possible availability of relief, negotiates with B Ltd to pay more than the open market value for the site in such a contaminated state; agreeing a price nearer to that which it would have commanded if not contaminated.

A Ltd, the polluter, is being paid a price that does not reflect the true state of the land. Developer B cannot therefore claim relief.

This is an anti-avoidance provision. Before entering into argument, Officers of HMRC should make a report of the facts to BAI Business Profits.
EIM36750 - Deductions from earnings: capital allowances: particular items of plant or machinery: cycles and motor vehicles: general

Section 36 CAA 2001

An employee cannot claim capital allowances for a cycle or a 'mechanically propelled road vehicle' such as a car, motorcycle or van.

The only way an employee can get tax relief for using their own vehicle for work is by a deduction for mileage allowance relief (see EIM31330 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim31330)onwards).

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 VVB Engineering 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 VVB Engineering 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
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.

Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA) 1979 section 139(1) provides the authority to detain or seize goods.

Goods that have been abandoned may be sold as per CEMA section 40 but only if the buyer is able to pay all the charges involved in the purchase of the goods. This would include the cost of transport to the Queens warehouse, valuation assessors, storage, all duties as well as making a declaration to clear the goods.

Customs authorities have the option that if the goods were sold the monies obtained would not cover the costs then the goods can be destroyed.

CTM40355 - Particular bodies: health service bodies: introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-10)


‘Health service bodies' in this guidance means those bodies listed at CTA10/S986, which have changed over the years. This currently includes NHS Foundation Trusts, NHS Trusts and integrated care boards but does not cover all the bodies that provide health related services. Any bodies which are not listed will fall to be treated for Corporation Tax in the same way as any other company, and this will include subsidiaries of bodies listed at CTA10/S986. Officers should refer any disputed case to BAI (Technical) for advice.

CTA10/S985 exempts the health service bodies listed in CTA10/S986 from CT.

TCGA92/S271 (3) exempts such health service bodies from Capital Gains Tax.

Health service bodies are, nevertheless, normally companies as defined by CTA10/S1121. In accordance with ITA07/PART15/CHAPTER15 they must therefore account, on form CT61, for any Income Tax falling within ITA07/S946. These payments include yearly interest, annuities and other annual payments made by persons other than individuals. They will not normally include damages paid to a former patient, see CTM40360 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm40360).

Health service bodies should therefore be set up as CT cases – see COM40000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com40000) onwards. The Corporation Tax of any NHS health service bodies are dealt with by Individuals and Public Bodies, NHS and Charities Team.

The exemption from CT for the bodies listed means that no CTSA returns need be issued for them, but officers should check whether the body will need to account for Income Tax deducted.

You cannot
- proceed for a penalty before the First-tier Tribunal, or
- include a penalty in a negotiated settlement
if the time limit for seeking penalties has expired.

The time limit is 3 years after the date on which the amount of tax properly payable on the chargeable transfer concerned is notified to the person or one of the persons liable for the tax or any part of it, IHTA84/S250 (1). This will normally be 3 years from the date of the first informal calculation, notice of determination (NOD) (IHTM37001 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm37001)) or letter issued to the taxpayer or their agent that shows their final tax liability. You should therefore bear in mind the need to give penalty cases priority.

This guide outlines the dataset specifications for the National Fraud Initiative (NFI) pilots.

National Fraud Initiative pilot projects are employed to explore new strategies for fraud prevention and detection. These pilots seek to evaluate the effectiveness of various methods for identifying and combating fraud within the NFI framework. The outcomes of these pilots are assessed to ascertain whether they enhance the NFI’s biennial national exercise in preventing and detecting fraud. If they are, the relevant data specification will be transferred from the NFI Pilot data specification page to the NFI national exercise data specification page.

Please note that data should:
- only be submitted through the secure NFI web application (https://www.nfi.gov.uk/)
- be password protected once extracted from the relevant systems
- unless otherwise stated, not include minor’s data.
- Only confirmed pilot participants should upload data.
Before submitting data, you must read the guidance provided on how to upload data and the pre-upload checks you should carry out to ensure you are providing the best possible data.

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 Think Sigma 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 Think Sigma 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve 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.

The Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012:  PIR - green-rated
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-18)

Regulatory Policy Committee opinion on DEFRA’s second post-implementation review of the regulations

The PIR (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2025/36/pdfs/ukia_20250036_en.pdf) demonstrates the objectives of reducing hazardous substance use and facilitating a circular economy remain valid, and the regulations have been successful. Areas for improvement are also identified, particularly for the exemptions process, coherence with other legislation, and facilitation of reuse and spare parts. The Department’s recommendation to amend the regulations to address these issues is supported by evidence.

The evidence presented provides a reasonable assessment of the effectiveness and continuing relevance of the RoHS regulations. The analysis draws on a range of sources, including industry feedback, enforcement data, and the European Commission’s review of the RoHS Directive.

The PIR could be strengthened with detail on the amendments under consideration, estimating compliance costs particularly for SMEs, and outlining how the UK’s GB RoHS processes will be streamlined following feedback on duplication with EU requirements.
