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 Forward Assist Recruitment 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 Forward Assist Recruitment 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
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.

Process evaluations of the acquisitive crime electronic monitoring project’s 12 month+ cohort and 3 to 12 month cohort
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-29)

The 2 reports provide the findings of the process evaluations undertaken for the 12 month+ and 3 to 12 month cohorts of the acquisitive crime project.

The acquisitive crime (AC) Project began as a pilot in a number of police force areas of England and Wales during April 2021.

The AC Project involves the compulsory use of location monitoring GPS technology in relation to certain prison leavers for up to 12 months.

The subjects must be adults who were released from prison on licence to reside in eligible areas and who were serving a standard determinate custodial sentence for certain acquisitive offences, where these were the most serious offences disposed.

There are 2 distinct cohorts of AC Project compulsory enrolees: prison leavers on licence who were serving at least a 12 month custodial sentence (12m+ cohort) for an eligible acquisitive offence; and, subsequently, prison leavers on licence who were serving at least a 90 day custodial sentence (3-12m cohort) for an eligible acquisitive offence.

The reports contain qualitative conclusions regarding stakeholders’ perceptions of what has worked well and less well in the AC Project. There are also quantitative summaries of the available management information in the period up to June 2022 for the 12m+ cohort and up to December 2023 for the 3 to 12m cohort.

ITTOIA05/S396B and S404A (4)

Condition C is met where the individual receiving the distribution in the winding-up continues to be directly or indirectly involved with the same or similar trade or activity as the company being wound up at any time within two years from the date of the distribution.

The condition is widely drafted to prevent the rule being easily avoided by subtly changing the type of trade or activity of the company, or by changing the structure in which that trade or activity is carried out, for example by transferring the company’s trade to a partnership.

Condition C is met not only where a new company is created after the winding-up of the company in question, It will apply wherever the individual receiving the distribution continues to carry on, directly or indirectly, the same or a similar activity.

Meeting Condition C does not, on its own, mean that the legislation will apply. All four of the conditions must apply, and while Condition C is deliberately wide, Condition D (the purpose test) will narrow the application of the legislation.

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 Erne Music Supplies 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 Erne Music Supplies 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

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 Northern Quarter Barber 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 Northern Quarter Barber 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
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.

DCMS releases estimates for trade in goods and services based on two data sources:
- Estimates of exports and imports of goods constructed from HMRC Overseas Trade Statistics, which use international classification codes; Commodity (or CN08) codes

MTT51450 - Administration: Filing member: De-registration
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


A group that has registered for MTT may be de-registered by an HMRC officer.

A notice of de-registration will include an 'effective date', from which the registration will cease to have effect. The registration will continue to have effect for the period ending immediately before that date.

De-registration may be appropriate where a group ceases to have an entity located in the UK. De-registration will ensure the group no longer has obligations to make returns or notifications to the UK in respect of MTT.

Where a registered group has ceased to be a qualifying group, but maintains a UK presence, a below-threshold notification may be more appropriate (see MTT53200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt53200)).

This is set out in paragraph 7, Schedule 14 to Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Conditions

An HMRC officer may de-register a group if:
- the filing member has applied for a de-registration notice, and
- the officer considers that the group will not be a qualifying group in the period containing the effective date, or any subsequent period.
