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 St Margaret’s Somerset Hospice 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 St Margaret’s Somerset Hospice 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
We also pledge the following:

Veterans Aware: Work towards achieving the Veterans Aware Accreditation and delivering this through our clinical services and charitable aims.

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.
CTM18550 - Shadow ACT: computation of: introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-04)


SI1999/358 reg 3 (1), reg 7, reg 8, reg 9, reg 10, reg 11 (1) and (2)

Shadow ACT arises when the franked distributions made by the company in the accounting period (AP) exceed the aggregate of:
- nine-eighths of its franked investment income, and
- the amount of any surplus franked investment income brought forward from the previous AP.
The rate is 25 per cent on an amount which, when the shadow ACT is added to it, is equal to the excess.'Franked distributions are the amount or value of a relevant distribution and such proportion of that amount or value as corresponds to the rate of shadow ACT.'Relevant distributions' means any, not just a qualifying, distribution made on or after 6 April 1999 excluding
- manufactured dividends,
- intra group distributions other than those that the company has elected should not be excluded.
'Franked investment income' means a distribution in respect of which the company is entitled to a tax credit and is the aggregate of the amount or value of the distribution and the credit except that it does not include
- income which was interest or which replaces interest as a result of action, the main purpose of which was to reduce the amount of shadow ACT,
- income which accrued as a consequence of arrangements to pass on the value of franked investment income,
- a distribution or payment which is to be taken into account in computing the profits of a dealer chargeable under trading income,
- intra group distributions except those to which an election under reg11 (3) applies,
- distributions received from a company that is not a member of the same group at that time but arrangements in place at the time are such as to give a reasonable expectation that the company will join or rejoin the group, or
- distributions received from a company that is no longer a member of the group where the distributions are made by reference to the shareholdings at a time when the two companies were members of the same group.

Regulation of incident scene examination and implementation of change
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-15)

Report from the Forensic Science Regulator on concerns about the impact of statutory regulation on incident scene examination.

Concerns about the impact of statutory regulation on the delivery of effective and efficient incident scene examination were raised with the Forensic Science Regulator and through Home Office ministers. To understand the foundations of these concerns the Regulator sought information from organisations undertaking FSA – INC 100, Incident scene examination, through a survey of responses to several statements.

The report includes the responses to the survey responses, the Regulator’s proposal for regulatory change which has now been reflected in the amendments and additions in version 2 of the Code, and implementation of these changes.

Judicial Summary

In a decision based on alleged “relevant conduct”, the DBS had failed adequately to particularise the allegations in relation to matter A to allow the appellant a fair opportunity to respond. The Minded To Bar (MTB) letter had been lacking in detail and it and its attachments contained inconsistent allegations. It was not enough that careful forensic work on behalf of DBS while preparing for the appeal allowed much of the allegations subsequently to be pieced together. The appellant needed to have had a fair chance to reply at the MTB stage, not least so that the DBS, to whom alone “appropriateness” is entrusted, could consider that issue. In relation to matter B, the panel, having heard evidence from the appellant on which she had been cross-examined, found there to have been a mistake of fact. The case was remitted to the DBS for a fresh decision.

Rise in unlicensed wells and boreholes on West Country farms
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-08)

The Environment Agency is warning farmers with private springs, wells and boreholes to check they are taking water legally from the environment.

Farm inspectors are finding a lot of unlicensed abstraction taking place in Devon and Cornwall during routine farm inspections.

Many farms rely on their own private water supply from springs, wells and boreholes. How much water is being taken is unmonitored – meaning farmers could be unknowingly breaching the allowed limit for abstraction without a licence.

Lisa Best, agriculture team leader for the Environment Agency in Devon and Cornwall, said:

All landowners should know how much water they are abstracting and ensure they have the relevant licence if needed.

Abstracting water without the necessary licence or in breach of your licence conditions is an offence and could lead to enforcement action.

Taking 20,000 litres of water a day is enough to wash over 100 cars. Taking more water than you are permitted could impact on other users and damage the environment.

The Environment Agency controls how much, where and when water is abstracted through our licensing system. Anyone taking 20 m3 of water per day or over is required to have an abstraction licence. Environment Agency farm inspectors have issued 70 actions to farmers over the past 2 years to install a meter to monitor how much water is being taken and apply for a licence where it is clear one is needed.

Abstraction licences have conditions on them to ensure the environment and the rights of other abstractors are protected. Our powers and duties enable us to regulate the use of water under existing licences and to decide whether to grant new ones. Where abstraction is damaging the environment, we also have the power to amend or revoke existing licences.

Climate change and population growth means there will be less available water with a greater demand for it. By 2050, the amount of water available could be down by 10-15%, with some rivers seeing 50-80% less water during the summer months. We all need to protect the environment by reducing the amount of water we use and ensuring greater efficiency in its use and re-use.

Background

Guidance on whether you need a licence to abstract water is available on GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-need-a-licence-to-abstract-water).

Grant funding is available for rainwater storage tanks. See RP16: Rainwater goods (https://www.gov.uk/countryside-stewardship-grants/rainwater-goods-rp16), RP17: Storage tanks underground (https://www.gov.uk/countryside-stewardship-grants/storage-tanks-underground-rp17), RP18: Above ground tanks (https://www.gov.uk/countryside-stewardship-grants/above-ground-tanks-rp18).

You do not need an abstraction licence to use water that only consists of harvested rainwater. See our regulatory position on rainwater harvesting (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rainwater-harvesting-regulatory-position-statement/rainwater-harvesting-regulatory-position-statement).

CH230210 - How to do a compliance check: information powers: rules that apply to all notices: resolving disputes about legal professional privilege: process when a notice is given in correspondence: sending the notice
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


This page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the technical guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

Before you give an information notice you may find it useful to discuss with the person the potential for privileged material to be required and how this will be dealt with.

When a person receives your information notice they may consider that some or all of what you are asking for is privileged, see CH22240 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch22240) about legal professional privilege. You can only see privileged material if the person chooses to waive their privilege and let you see it.

Where you are seeking documents or information that may include privileged items, the notice should contain relevant paragraphs setting out the person’s rights. This can be automatically added in SEES by selecting the appropriate option.

The notice will include the concept of waiver in your letter so that the person has a fuller explanation of their rights, but you should not treat a refusal to provide privileged information as a lack of co-operation. However, the voluntary provision of such information could earn credit to be set against poor co-operation in another aspect of your compliance check. Where penalties are likely, you could encourage waiver by telling the person that it could increase the quality of disclosure reduction and lead to a lower penalty.

If you intend to ask an unrepresented person for documents or information where you suspect legal professional privilege may be in point you should explain briefly the concept of legal professional privilege and allow the person an opportunity to obtain advice.

See CH230220 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch230220) for guidance about what you must do if the person claims documents you have asked for are privileged.

This section gives additional details of how Authorised Use is applied to marine propulsion engines.

Sales to boat owners and small yards

A large number of marine propulsion engines eligible for Authorised Use relief are sold singly to owners of boats and small boatyards. In such cases, Authorised Use can be considered complete immediately prior to the delivery of the engine and the customer need not be authorised for Authorised Use relief. Invoices and delivery notes must be marked:

'Under Customs Authorised Use control - for marine propulsion only'

and the name and address of the customer must also be recorded.

'Small boatyards' should be taken to mean boatyards in receipt of ten engines or less per year, from all suppliers.

Note: This simplification is restricted to deliveries within the UK.

Note: Northern Ireland (NI) customs authorisations will continue to fall within the provisions of the Union Customs Code (UCC), as retained by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and CEMA 1979.

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

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.

COM122064 - Repayments / reallocations: non automatic reallocations: reallocation out of COTAX - responsible office (AG)
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-28)


To reallocate a COTAX repayment to a liability outside COTAX, consider steps 1 - 9 below.

1. Use Function MAPS (Maintain AP Signals) to select ‘Reallocations & Repayments’ from the drop down menu for the Inhibitions field against the AP for which the overpayment will arise.

2. Create the overpayment.

3. Use Function VPPD (View Payment and Posting Details) to check the amount of repayment available for reallocation.

4. Determine exactly how much you want to reallocate from the COTAX record.

5. Use Function REOD (Direct Reallocation Out Of COTAX) and choose the option ‘Reallocate a specific amount’.

6. Make the reallocation.

Notes:
- Do not reallocate more than the known liability against which the reallocation is being made.
- COTAX is not able to calculate repayment interest (RPI) when you use this function, as it cannot know when the effective date of the reallocation will be.
- Ensure you enter the effective date onto the Intelligent Payment Processing Single Form – this will allow Corporate Finance to calculate the RPI (as a temporary workaround, please enter the effective date in the COTAX notes outlining that it’s in relation to the reallocation)
7. Confirm the reallocation and make a note of the OAS reference number.

8. Use Function MAPS and select ‘None’ from the drop-down menu for the Inhibitions field.

9. On the same day complete the Intelligent Payment Processing (https://ipp.guidance.ns2p.corp.hmrc.gov.uk/)(IPP) Single Form
- Where a balance is available for repayment you can use the IPP to request a repayment.
