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.

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.

VATREVCON25000 - Scope of the construction reverse charge: Supplies where the reverse charge element is a minor part
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-02)


Normally if any of the services in a supply are subject to the reverse charge, all other services and goods supplied will be subject to the reverse charge (SI 2019/892 art. 9 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/892/article/9)). However, there may be situations where this would be disproportionate because the amount of specified services is very small.

To avoid the disproportionate impact a minor reverse charge element could have, if it is 5% or less of the whole supply value under a contract this can be disregarded (this is referred to as the ‘5% disregard’). The 5% disregard is not compulsory; it should only be applied by mutual agreement.

The 5% disregard can be used where there is a single supply of construction services and only one minor element of the supply would fall under the reverse charge.

Where there is a single supply of services and one minor element would fall under the reverse charge, the effect of article 9 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/892/article/9) could be disregarded, if both parties agree, if the value is minor and insignificant, meaning 5% or less of the supply value.

However, this would not be an expected scenario so caution should be exercised / checks should be made to make sure the values are fair and reasonable.

The 5% disregard only applies where both the supplier and customer agree, from the start of the contract, that it should apply on the basis of the overall contract values (for example, the contracted value of reverse charge supplies being less than 5% of the total contract value). The 5% should not be calculated on an invoice by invoice basis.

The 5% disregard does not apply where there is a single supply and the predominant element is zero-rated, for example the construction of a new build block of flats with a small element of commercial premises. In this situation, the reverse charge procedure must be used for the standard-rated element.

A similar situation exists with the qualifying criteria for construction zero and reduced rates. To ensure that the relief is not lost due to minor non-qualifying use, a disregard of up to 5% is applied to non-qualifying use – see VCONST18600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-construction/vconst18600).

The 5% disregard is optional – the parties to a supply can choose not to apply it and instead to reverse charge the whole supply.

A similar provision can be applied to end users who re-supply a minor and insignificant amount of construction services (see VATREVCON33200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-reverse-charge-for-building-and-construction-services-manual/vatrevcon33200)).

CTM18600 - Shadow ACT: computation of: company ceasing to be a member of a group
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-04)


SI1999/358 reg11 (7)

Where a company ceases to be a member of a group, shadow ACT is computed as if the part of the accounting period (AP) before it ceased to be a member and the part after were two separate APs.

Example

Accounting Period 1.1.2005 – 31.12.2005

Company makes a distribution of £8,000. It receives a dividend from a non-associated company which, with the tax credit, totals £32,000. It has surplus franked investment income (FII) brought forward of £20,000.Accounting Period 1.1.2006 – 31.12.2006Company pays a dividend of £80,000. It receives a dividend from a non-associate, which with the tax credit totals £24,000.Accounting Period 1.1.2005 – 31.12.2005 (calculation of surplus FII)

Accounting Period 1.1.2006 – 31.12.2006 (calculation of shadow ACT)

Shadow ACT is 25 per cent of the amount which, when the shadow ACT is added to it, is equal to the excess = £5,400.

CLC Contractors Limited

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 CLC Contractors 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 CLC Contractors 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 Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
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.

This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

Molasses are liable to safeguard charges where the same principles regarding their calculations apply as outlined above for sugar.

However, in recent years, duty has usually been suspended because the value of the representative price plus any duty payable has been above a threshold of 8.21 Euros per 100 kgs, as outlined in Article 40 of Regulation 951/2006.

CHIEF Noticeboards 070179 and xx-xxxx-xxxx show what the current representative prices are.
