Boost to National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-19)

This change is another step towards creating a genuine living wage that supports millions of families across the country.

The National Minimum and National Living wage are going up.

From April 1, those on the National Living Wage will get a payday boost worth £1,400 a year.

For an eligible full-time worker that’s around £25 a week or £100 a month.

If you’re a full-time worker on the National Minimum Wage, your pay could be boosted by £2,500 a year.

You’ll get it whether you’re in a full-time, part-time, or temporary role and the amount you’ll receive will depend on your age or if you’re an apprentice.

This change is another step towards creating a genuine living wage that supports millions of families across the country.

If you’re an employee

You don’t need to do anything, but it’s worth checking your payslip to make sure you’re receiving this pay increase if it applies to you.

You can search ‘check your pay (https://checkyourpay.campaign.gov.uk/)’ for more information.

What will your new rate be?

From April 2025, the rates will be as follows:

If you’re an employer

The government will continue to engage closely with businesses, unions and wider society to ensure that all employers are aware of the new rates and take the steps needed to prepare for payroll changes on 1 April.

COM124010 - Repayments/reallocations: repayment/reallocation authorisation: repayment security authorisers - responsible office
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-09)


Access to records

The CT repayment security checks are commonly referred to as the R400 process.

Once a Repayment Security Authoriser (RSA) has been allocated the COTAX Repayment Authoriser role on COTAX they must be given access to the CT Repayment Security SharePoint.

The CT Repayment Security SharePoint holds all the information you need to carry out a security check. This includes:
- training material
- the R400 CT guide detailing the checks to be performed
- the R400 working sheets on which you must record every case that requires a check
Proper maintenance of the documents in the SharePoint is a critical part of our assurance in repayment security. It is important that you regularly access the folder headed ‘Essential RSA documents’ to ensure you are aware of the latest information and guidance affecting your role, and to see the most recent version of the R400 CT guide.

You must ensure that security is maintained at all times and it is important that you:
- do not share any of the information about security checks held in the SharePoint with anyone who is not an RSA
- do not save any of the documents to locations outside the SharePoint
- read the ‘Protocols’ document before carrying out any actions in the SharePoint
Selection of cases for authorisation

COTAX automatically selects some repayments and reallocations for checking in the responsible office. These include:
- repayments selected for checking before release
- repayments selected for retrospective checking after release
- selected repayments surrendered to a different company under Section 963 (S963) Corporation Tax Act (CTA) 2010
COTAX can select any repayment for checking whether it is made, or to be made, to debit or credit card, by Bacs or by payable order.

The selected cases appear on the following work lists:
- REDR (Repayments For Authorisation List)
- PRPL (Post Repayment Review List).
- REAU (Reallocations For Authorisation List)
It is the responsibility of the RSA to review the entries on these work lists.

COTAX records the entry of a case on any of these lists in function DIAW (Display Immediate Action Work Lists).

If you are the RSA, you should carry out the necessary checks on cases appearing on your lists immediately.

See COM126000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com126000) for more information about these work lists.

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 Harlech Hygienics 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 Harlech Hygienics 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
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Second Pall Mall Process Conference in Paris, April 2025: Minister Doughty's welcome remarks
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)

Stephen Doughty, Minister for Europe, North America and Overseas Territories, gave these welcome remarks by video to the second Pall Mall Process Conference in Paris.

Good afternoon everyone, I’m sorry I can’t join you in person, but I am delighted to join my good friend, Minister Delegate Haddad, in participating virtually.

And I’m hugely grateful to France for hosting this conference – testament to our strong friendship and commitment to global security, which we are demonstrating in so many ways at the present time.

And I am glad that this is bringing together so many experts from government, the private sector, academia, and civil society.

Your diverse perspectives are crucial in tackling a major challenge of our time - the proliferation and irresponsible use of cyber intrusion capabilities.

In this dangerous era of contest and competition, cyber threats are testing our security and resolve on a daily basis.

Of course, new technologies bring vast opportunities for security, prosperity, and democracy.

Yet, they also make us more vulnerable to criminals, hackers, and reckless hostile states. And intrusive tools are becoming cheaper and more accessible.

While these tools play a vital role in protecting our national and cyber security, they also bring significant challenges, as you all know.

It is easier than ever for those who do not share our values to target human rights defenders, politicians, and journalists, among many others.

We have also seen reckless attacks on our governments, our parliaments and critical infrastructure – from banks and power grids to hospitals and defence systems.

And that’s why I’m so pleased you will be working together to address these threats and get the balance right.

Since the first Pall Mall Process meeting last year, we’ve made real progress.

So today, I’m proud to announce a major step forward – the formal launch of our new Code of Practice for governments.

This bold package of commitments will help us to regulate the market, mitigating against harms that hacking tools can cause.

And this will be good for us as States – making it easier to protect national security while ensuring a stable cyberspace.

And it will be good for the industry too. By providing a clear view of what responsible activity looks like, we can make it easier for legitimate companies to operate in the right way.

But this commitment must translate into action.

Over the coming days, we must focus on how to put these measures into practice, track progress, and hold ourselves accountable.

This is how we can protect our citizens and ensure that cyberspace remains free, open, peaceful, and secure.

I wish you all the best for your discussions and I very much look forward to hearing the outcomes.

Merci beaucoup, thank you very much.

LLM0500 - Lloyd's Manual: overview of the manual
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-21)


The Lloyd’s Manual (LLM) is written primarily for HMRC officers who deal with direct tax issues involving Lloyd’s, but it will also assist customers and their advisers. This manual does not cover Value Added Tax (VAT). Lloyd’s-specific VAT matters are dealt with in the VAT Insurance Manual at VATSIN4000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-insurance/vatins4000)+.

The manual gives an overview of the Lloyd’s market and the accounting and regulatory framework within which underwriting at Lloyd’s is carried on, and provides guidance on the taxation of Lloyd’s underwriting members.

In this manual the words ‘underwriter’ and ‘member’ are used interchangeably. For convenience, the word ‘Name’ is generally used with reference to individual members rather than corporate members.

Most insurance business underwritten at Lloyd’s is ‘general’ rather than ‘long term’ insurance, and reference may need on occasion to be made to the HMRC General Insurance Manual (GIM). Other HMRC manuals that deal with the taxation of insurance are the Life Assurance Manual (LAM), the Insurance Policyholder Taxation Manual (IPTM), and HMRC Guides and Business Briefs on Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) and VAT. Access to the manuals to which reference is made in the text is via LLM10000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/lloyds-manual/llm10000) (Links to other HMRC manuals).

Further information on the Lloyd’s insurance market is available from Lloyd's website: www.lloyds.com (https://www.lloyds.com/).

ATR 42-500 (G-LMSA), engine failure during cruise, north-east of Aberdeen International Airport, 23 July 2024

Whilst in the cruise, the aircraft suffered a contained failure of the No 1 engine and a subsequent fire inside its cowlings due to a leak from the fuel return line which had become sufficiently loose following the engine failure to result in fuel leakage. The flight crew correctly followed the checklist procedures to shut down the engine, and the fire was extinguished. The aircraft landed without further incident.

Although this is the only known instance of this fuel line becoming loose, the aircraft manufacturer has commenced a safety review to identify any possible safety actions which would further reduce the likelihood of leakage from the fuel return line.

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 Wonde 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 Wonde 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
- Armed 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.
