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 Sams Transport 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 Sams Transport 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.

The Audio-Visual and Video Games Expenditure Credits (AVEC and VGEC) can be claimed on expenditure incurred from 1 January 2024.

Initially, they are optional. Companies can continue to claim the former tax reliefs instead if they wish.

The former reliefs are:

Film Tax Relief

High-End Television Tax Relief

Animation Tax Relief

Children’s Television Tax Relief

Video Games Tax Relief

AVEC and VGEC become mandatory for new productions from 1 April 2025.

For productions which have begun before 1 April 2025 but not yet started principal photography (for film and TV) or entered the production phase (for video games) by that date, expenditure incurred from 1 April 2025 is only eligible for AVEC or VGEC.

The former tax reliefs will cease on 1 April 2027. Expenditure incurred from that date can only be relieved under AVEC or VGEC, for all productions.

Independent film (CREC021100)

The enhanced rate of AVEC for independent films (known in legislation as certified low-budget films) is available to films which begin principal photography on or after 1 April 2024, on expenditure incurred from that date. Any expenditure incurred before that date is eligible for AVEC at the standard rate of 34% (or 39%, for animated films).

Note that for accounting periods ending before AVEC commenced on 1 January 2024, only Film Tax Relief is available. If an accounting period straddles 1 January 2024, only Film Tax Relief is available for the notional period falling before that date. Film Tax Relief does not have an enhanced rate for independent films. For more information about notional periods and other transitional rules, please see CREC092100.

Claims to the enhanced rate of AVEC for independent films may only be made to HMRC from 1 April 2025.

Additional credit for visual effects costs (CREC061400)

The additional credit for visual effects costs is available to certain film and TV productions for relevant visual effects expenditure incurred on or after 1 January 2025. Visual effects expenditure incurred before 1 January 2025 is eligible for AVEC at the standard rate of 34%.

Claims to additional credit for visual effects may only be made to HMRC from 1 April 2025.

EIM35030 - Travelling expenses: Non-resident and qualifying new resident employees working in the United Kingdom: travel between the home country and the United Kingdom
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-11)


Sections 373 to 375 ITEPA 2003

Provided all of the conditions below are satisfied, a deduction from earnings is allowable in respect of the cost of a non-UK resident or a qualifying new resident employee's journeys:
- from a country outside the United Kingdom in which the employee normally lives at the time the journey is made, to any place in the United Kingdom where duties are performed (see below) and
- returning there after performing his or her duties in the United Kingdom.
The conditions are as follows:
- receives earnings from an employment for duties performed in the United Kingdom and
- an amount is included in the earnings in respect of the provision of travel facilities for a journey made by the employee or the reimbursement of expenses incurred by the employee on such a journey
- the earnings are charged on receipt under section 15 ITEPA 2003
- the journey ends within five years of the employee's qualifying arrival in the United Kingdom (see EIM35060 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim35060)).
Unlimited number of journeys

There is no limit to the number of qualifying journeys that can be made. The employee's journey home can be made for any purpose provided it is made after performing the duties in the United Kingdom.

Journeys having dual purpose

An employee's journey to the United Kingdom may be made partly in order to perform the duties of the employment and partly for some other purpose. If so, limit the deduction to the amount properly attributable to the business purpose.

Journeys to or from a place in the United Kingdom

The requirement that the journey must be to a place in the United Kingdom in order to perform duties of the employment should be interpreted broadly. Travel to the place where the employee lives in the United Kingdom whilst performing the duties will qualify.

Total factor productivity for England by farm type
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-16)

Official statistics of total factor productivity for England by farm type using Farm Business Survey data from 1990/91.

Total factor productivity (TFP) is a key measure of the economic performance of agriculture. It represents how efficiently the agricultural industry uses the resources that are available to turn inputs into outputs. The methodology used to calculate the national statistics for “Total factor productivity for the UK agricultural industry” has been applied to data from the Farm Business Survey for England to produce TFP for selected farm types. Results for specialist pigs, specialist poultry and horticulture farms have not been presented due to concerns around smaller sample sizes for these farm types.

For UK Total Factor Productivity statistics please refer to “TFP for the UK agricultural industry” (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/productivity-of-the-agricultural-industry)
