The UK will continue to pay tribute to the victims of war by pressing for a just and lasting peace in response to conflicts around the world: UK Statement at the UN General Assembly
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-07)

Statement by Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN General Assembly meeting on the Eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

Today, we remember the enormous contributions and sacrifices made, and honour the lives lost, in pursuit of peace and security 80 years ago.

Allied forces, united in their mission to liberate Europe from Nazi oppression, were victorious.

But we must never forget the tragic human cost of the Second World War.

Over 70 million lives lost around the world.

And as the world wars begin to fade from living memory, we must ensure the stories of those who lived through and fought in them are remembered by generations to come.

This organisation was founded in the wake of that conflict, to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, underpinned by a Charter which united the world with the aim of maintaining international peace and security, reaffirming our shared faith in Human Rights, and promoting development.

The United Kingdom remains deeply committed to those principles and to the UN Charter.

In the UN’s 80th year, our shared mission is more important than ever.

The world faces the highest number of conflicts globally since the UN’s inception.

The human costs are rising.

In Europe, security is once again threatened by blatant disrespect for the principles of sovereign equality of States and respect for territorial integrity.

These principles matter for all states.

President, my grandfather served as a British Army officer in France and in Italy during the Second World War. Decades later, even at the height of the Cold War, he spoke warmly of the Soviet forces he had fought alongside to defeat fascism.

Russia’s claims that the Ukrainian government is akin to the regime of the German Nazis is false and malicious propaganda that insults the memory of the Soviet forces who fought and died during the Second World War.

We were called here today for one solemn purpose: to commemorate the victims of the Second World War.

The fact that Russia sees fit to use this meeting to peddle blatant disinformation about is shameful, but it will not distract us.

As my Prime Minister said, this is a time to celebrate hard-won peace, honour the memory of those who lost their lives and remember the sacrifices made by so many to secure our freedom.

The United Kingdom will continue to pay tribute to the victims of war by pressing for a just and lasting peace in response to conflicts around the world.

As we join together today, we encourage all Member States to consider this anniversary a stark reminder that peace cannot be taken for granted.

We must all redouble our efforts to bring about the peace and security the people of the world need and which they deserve.

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

Late payments: tackling poor payment practices
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-30)

We are seeking views on legislative measures which address late, long and disputed business-to-business payments, and the use of retention clauses in construction contracts.

Late payments can disrupt cash flows, prevent businesses from paying their bills, and even lead to business closures. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially exposed to these issues, as they often have less cash in reserve to act as a buffer.

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is publishing this consultation which seeks views on a package of legislative measures aimed at addressing late payments, and ensuring businesses are paid fairly and on time.

Late payment is characterised by 4 different but inter-related problems, and the proposed measures aim to address them all. The problems the measures aim to address are:

late payments. Where businesses fail to pay an invoice within agreed payment terms (30 days where no specific terms have been agreed).

long payment terms. Where payment terms are agreed over extended periods, beyond 60 days.

disputed payments. Where businesses disagree over the goods or services supplied and payment is delayed or reduced.

unfair practice around retention payments. Specific to the construction sector, where retained money can be lost through upstream insolvency or subject to late, partial or non-payment.

DBT has also prepared an accompanying Options Assessment, which assesses the impact of the proposed measures.

We welcome views from businesses, trade representatives, and other organisations or individuals who are interested parties to the proposals.

MTT65020 - Charging mechanisms: Domestic Top-up Tax charge: Chargeable persons
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


Chargeability is different for Domestic Top-up Tax (DTT) compared to MTT because the concept of responsible members does not exist for DTT. All qualifying entities that are a body corporate or a partnership will be chargeable persons for DTT.

In some cases, a person other than a qualifying entity may be chargeable. These are explained below.

A group may elect to make one member liable for amounts charged. See MTT65040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt65040).

This is set out in section 269 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

See MTT10020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt10020) for guidance on the meaning of ‘qualifying entity’.

Qualifying entity is neither a body corporate nor a partnership

If a qualifying entity is neither a body corporate nor a partnership, another person may be chargeable in respect of it.

Another person will be chargeable if the qualifying entity’s profits would be the profits of that person for the purposes of Income Tax or Corporation Tax. This will be the case if:
- the qualifying entity has profits chargeable to Income Tax or Corporation Tax, and
- the person is resident in the UK for the purpose of that tax.
Where more than one person is chargeable in respect of the same qualifying entity, these persons are jointly and severally liable.

Group payment notice

If a chargeable person fails to pay their DTT liability, HMRC may issue a notice to another member of the group to make it liable for the amount. See MTT54200+ (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt54200) for more information on group payment notices.

MTT10120 - Scope: Definitions: Meaning of 'entity'
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


For MTT purposes, ‘entity’ means:
- a company, or
- any arrangement that results in the preparation of separate financial accounts in respect of the activities carried out under the arrangement (such as a partnership or trust).
This is set out in section 231 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Entity that is part of a government

An entity will not be regarded as an entity if it is, or is part of, a national, regional, or local government.

An entity that is owned by a government will be regarded as an entity, but may be an excluded entity where the conditions are met. See MTT10240 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt10240) for guidance on the definition of ‘governmental entity’.

Permanent establishments to be treated as an entity

For MTT purposes, a permanent establishment is treated as an entity that is distinct from its main entity.

See MTT10130 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt10130) for guidance on the definition of ‘permanent establishment’ and ‘main entity’.

Protected cell companies and other sub-divided entities

See MTT10140 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt10140) for guidance on whether a protected cell company or its components are entities for MTT purposes.

See MTT10150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt10150) for guidance on other sub-divided entities.

Investment funds

The definition of entity is extremely wide. One impact is that funds, however structured, will typically be regarded as entities, as funds will typically prepare separate financial accounts.

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.

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.

UK announces commitment to advance gender equality in SA at G20
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-05)

The UK pledges ZAR 18 million (£800,000) to South Africa’s Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) Fund. This will help more than 33,000 people through school-based prevention and community support.

Baroness Jacqui Smith, UK Minister for Women and Equalities, announced the funding during the G20 Women’s Empowerment meeting in Johannesburg.

The GBVF Fund will use the money for:

GBV prevention in schools, building on evidence from the UK-funded What Works programme, the Fund will support targeted prevention efforts in schools, focusing on adolescent boys. This high-impact intervention will aid the implementation of the Department for Basic Education’s life skills and life orientation curriculum, fostering healthier attitudes and behaviours from a young age.

GBV response for underserved communities. The additional funding will also enhance support for victims and survivors in underserved groups, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, women with disabilities, and migrant women, ensuring inclusive and accessible services for those most at risk, reaching 33,000 more people.

UK Minister for Women and Equalities, Baroness Jacqui Smith stated:

The UK stands firmly with South Africa in the movement against gender-based violence. This additional support reflects our shared commitment to protecting underserved communities and investing in long-term, evidence-based solutions that create safer environments for all.

At the heart of the UK-South Africa relationship is our shared commitment to human rights, gender equality, and women’s empowerment. This uplift to the GBVF Fund is a tangible demonstration of that commitment. We are proud to stand alongside South Africa in accelerating action to end violence, empower women and girls, and ensure no one is left behind.

During her visit, Baroness Smith took part in the South African Presidency’s High-Level Dialogue on Positive Masculinity where she raised the crucial role of education in prevention and engaging boys in efforts to end gender-based violence. She also visited Kid’s Haven, to provide shelter for children and young people who have experienced trauma.

The UK and South Africa share a commitment to human rights, gender equality and women’s empowerment. This funding shows that commitment in action.

Further Information

The GBVF Fund is a flagship initiative under the UK-South Africa partnership, aimed at strengthening prevention and response mechanisms to GBVF across the country.
