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 Wolverhampton Tree Service 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 Wolverhampton Tree Service 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

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists

- 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.

AAIB investigation to Europa, G-CBWP
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-14)

Landed in a field on approach to Runway 26, East Kirkby Airfield, Lincolnshire, 1 March 2025

During a flight to East Kirkby Airfield, which was an unfamiliar location to him, the pilot found that the geographical features of the airfield were visually similar to surrounding fields. Whilst on the approach, the pilot believed he became focussed on his approach speed at the expense of maintaining his position in relation to the glidepath. He landed in a rough field short of the runway threshold and attempted to go around but had insufficient speed to takeoff again. He tried to steer away from a hedgerow ahead but clipped the right wing, spinning the aircraft nose into the hedge. The pilot was uninjured, but the aircraft was damaged beyond economical repair.

CTM08610 - Corporation Tax: management expenses: order of set-off
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)


A company can be 'a company with investment business' within CTA09/S1218B and also carry on a trade. So a company may be entitled to management expenses under CTA09/S1219 and have trading losses available for relief under CTA10/S37.

Trading losses

Management expenses under CTA09/S1219 (but excluding carried-forward management expenses) must be deducted before any losses under CTA10/S37 may be set off. This is because:
- the deduction of management expenses is mandatory in the computation of the total profits (CTM08580 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm08580)),
but
- the company may make a claim for the set-off of trade losses against those profits.
Qualifying charitable donations

CTA10/S189 (1) and (2) allow the deduction of charges on income from a company’s total profits (as reduced by any other relief except group relief) in computing CT chargeable for an accounting period.

CTA10/S189 (4) allows the deduction only in respect of payments made by the company in the accounting period concerned and CTA10/S189 (3) limits the deduction to the amount that reduces the company’s total profits for the period to nil.

Any excess of qualifying charitable donations (that is, an amount that cannot be deducted under CTA10/S189 because there are insufficient total profits) is added to any excess management expenses of the period and is carried forward to the next accounting period and treated as an expense of management of that period.

BLM20210 - Defining long funding leases: the three tests: the finance lease test: CAA01/S70N
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-15)


This manual is being updated to reflect FRS 102 (2024 amendments). For guidance on the tax treatment of accounts prepared under IFRS 16 or the revised FRS 102, please refer to pages within the BLM50000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm50000) chapter.

The finance lease test is met if under GAAP (BLM20215 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm20215))
- the lease is or should be accounted for as a finance lease or loan in the accounts of the person to whom the decision applies (lessor or lessee, as appropriate), or
- in the case of a lessor, the lease is or should be accounted for as a finance lease or loan in the accounts of anyone connected with the lessor, including in the consolidated accounts, see BLM20220 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm20220).
Note that a lease meets the finance lease test if it is, or under GAAP should be, accounted for as a finance lease or loan by a connected party, even if it is not accounted for as a finance lease or loan by the lessor.

At present, it is probable that the only time a plant or machinery lease could be argued to be accounted for as a loan is
- by the lessee, and possibly by the lessor, in a lease and finance leaseback or sale and finance leaseback (where the accounting applies throughout the life of the arrangement) see BLM16005 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm16005).
- in the case of both the lessor and the lessee where payments are made between inception of a lease and its commencement. (The arrangement will be accounted for as a lease after commencement, even if it is not before commencement).
Even in some of these cases, particularly in the case of a sale and finance leaseback, it is probable that the correct accounting treatment is ‘as a lease’. In any event, it is probable that all other plant or machinery leases are accounted for as a lease (BLM20130 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm20130)). However, accounting standards - and the transactions to which they apply - are continually developing and often becoming more complex. As a consequence it is not possible to give comprehensive guidance, particularly where it is appropriate to apply FRS 5 Reporting the Substance of Transactions, or how to determine the substance of an arrangements under Section 20.3A of FRS102, or when applying the IFRS guidance. Always bear in mind that the legislation applies on the basis of what is GAAP at a particular time.

From skills to occupations: comparative advantage and cross-country income differences
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-23)

This paper develops a general equilibrium model where workers of different skill groups sort into occupations by comparative advantage.

Abstract

The authors revisit the role of human capital in cross-country income differences. They develop a general equilibrium model where workers of different skill groups sort into occupations by comparative advantage. Wages and employment depend on workers’ skill quality, occupation-specific country-embedded productivity, and occupational distortions. Using harmonized microdata for 50 countries, they infer these components from the model’s equilibrium conditions.

This work is part of the Structural Transformation and Economic Growth (STEG) programme.

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.

This report summarises findings from an evaluation of the Employment and Health Discussion Proof of Concept.

The Employment and Health Discussion involves a conversation between an unemployed Universal Credit Health Journey customer and an Employment and Health Practitioner. The purpose of the discussion is to identify the range of barriers impacting the customer’s ability to work and appropriate solutions to these which are then documented in a Workability Action Plan.

The Employment and Health Discussion has been tested on a small scale in select Jobcentre Plus’. This type of test is known as a Proof of Concept.

The report summarises findings from an evaluation of the Proof of Concept, which specifically explores how the Employment and Health Discussion was delivered in practice and what is perceived to work well or less well.
