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 Xander Recruitment Group 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 Xander Recruitment Group 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

CTM16220 - Distributions: impact on Corporation Tax: franked investment income under the ACT system abolished from 6 April 1999 - surplus - claims under ICTA88/S242 - purposes of claim
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-29)


ICTA88/S242 (2) and (8)

For accounting periods beginning before 2 July 1997 the legislation talks about the 'purposes' for which a claim may be made under ICTA88/S242. These 'purposes' were the setting-off of various unused reliefs against surplus franked investment income (FII) in order to receive payment of the tax credit on the FII.

Different time limits applied to claims in respect of each type of unused relief. The types of relief, and the time limits were:
- The deduction of charges under ICTA88/S338, see CTM09000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm09000) onwards. The time limit was six years from the end of the accounting period in which the company paid the charges.
- The deduction of management expenses, see CTM08000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm08000) onwards. The time limit was six years from the end of the accounting period in which the company incurred the management expenses. The claim could include management expenses brought forward. For the purposes of the claim time limit management expenses brought forward were treated as incurred in the accounting period to which they were carried forward.
- The set-off of certain capital allowances against total profits under CAA01/S260 (3), see CA29450 (http://home.active.hmrci/camanual/CA29450.htm). The time limit was two years from the end of the accounting period for which the capital allowances fell to be made. The claim could not include capital allowances brought forward.
- The set-off of trading losses against total profits under ICTA88/S393A (1), see CTM04500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm04500) onwards. The time limit was two years from the end of the accounting period in which the company incurred the trading loss. The claim could not include losses brought forward, but see CTM16250 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm16250) in relation to financial concerns.
- The set-off of losses on shares in unquoted companies under ICTA88/S573, see CG58300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg58300p). The time limit was two years from the end of the accounting period in which the company incurred the loss.
- The set-off of non-trading deficits on loan relationships under FA96/S83 (2)(a). The time limit was two years from the end of the accounting period to which the relievable amount relates, or such further period as HMRC may allow.
COM95050 - Payments: quarterly instalment payments: instalment due dates
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-10)


An instalment due date is a date on which an instalment payment is due and payable. The dates are as follows.

For a 12 month Accounting Period (AP) for a 'Large' company

Instalment

Instalment due date

First

six months and 13 days from the start of the AP.

Second

three months from the first instalment due date.

Third

three months from the second instalment due date.

Final

three months and 14 days from the end of the AP.

For a 12 month AP for a 'Very Large' company where the Accounting Period (AP) starts on or after 01/04/2019

Instalment

Instalment due date

First

two months and 13 days from the start of the AP.

Second

three months from the first instalment due date

Third

three months from the second instalment due date.

Final
- AP ends on last day of month last day of month prior to AP end date month plus 14 days
- AP does not end at the end of a month a) same day as AP end day in previous month plus 14 days b) if same day does not exist then previous month last day plus 14 days
You must determine the due dates for the second and third instalments from the due date for the first and second instalments respectively, not from the start of the AP.

When the first or second instalment is due on the last day of a calendar month, the second or third instalment is due on the last day of the third following month.

When the first or second instalment is due on some other day, the second or third instalment is due on the correspondingly numbered day in the third following month.

When there is no correspondingly numbered day in the third following month, the second or third instalment is due on the last day of the third following month.

For an Accounting Period (AP) of less than 12 months

The final instalment is due, as normal, three months and 14 days from the end of the AP. Earlier instalments are due only if the dates for the earlier instalments as shown above, fall earlier than the date of the final instalment.

This means that an AP of:
- three months or less, requires only the final instalment
- between three months and one day and six months, requires only a first and a final instalment
- between six months and one day and nine months, requires a first, second and a final instalment
- more than nine months, requires all four instalments
See the Company Taxation Manual (CTM) at CTM92570 and 92590 for examples of instalment dates for Accounting Periods (APs) of 12 months or less.

For quarterly instalment payment cases with APs that ended before 1 July 2002, there was a transitional period with different payment dates. See COM95005 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com95005) for more information.

ECSH81085 - Sanctions administration charges for multiple sanction types
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)


A decision maker (DM) may encounter a situation where multiple sanction types are to be imposed on the same business/individual. Multiple sanction types will affect how the DM issues the sanction notices and applies the sanctions administration charge (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh81080) (SAC)

Issuing sanction notices

The DM must issue a separate sanction notice for each sanction type. This allows the business/individual to respond and make representations to each sanction notice independently. This is important if the business/individual for example, accepts a penalty notice and wants to pay promptly, to obtain an early payment reduction, but appeals another sanction type.

Applying the SAC

When multiple sanction types are imposed as a result of a compliance intervention then only a single SAC is applied.

Details of the SAC for each type of sanction can be found here. (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/money-laundering-regulations-appeals-and-penalties#penalty-administration-charge)

For example, if a compliance officer issues a type 1 penalty for £5,000 with a £2,000 SAC and in addition a prohibition on management is imposed with a £2,000 SAC, then only a single £2,000 SAC is applied to the type 1 penalty notice.

However, if sanctions are generated by an authorisations team, then an SAC is applied to each instance.

For example, at the annual refresh, updated registration information is not forthcoming, so a notice under regulation 66 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh71500) of The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Information on the Payer (Transfer of Funds) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017) is issued. The business/individual fails to comply with the notice, so a £1,000 penalty is imposed with a £350 SAC. If this penalty results in the required information being received, but the information indicates a material change (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh47075) has not been notified, then £2,500 types 3 penalty is imposed and attracts an additional £2,000 SAC.

Exceptions

When a business registration is suspended from the register then a £2,000 SAC is applied. If the business is later cancelled and the grounds for cancellation remain unchanged from the suspension, then a further SAC is not applied. However, if there are additional grounds to cancel the registration, involving additional resource, a further SAC is applied. This principle is also applied if a suspension period is extended and the grounds for extending the suspension remain unchanged. Where a notice under regulation 66 is issued, and the business/individual fails to comply with the notice, a penalty is imposed. The SAC of £350 is applied in all cases on the initial penalty of £1,000. If a further penalty for continued failure is imposed, then a further SAC is not applied.

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 Engineering Recruitment Solutions Global 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 Engineering Recruitment Solutions Global 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
- 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.
The UK stands ready to support further strengthening and expanding of the Sudan sanctions regime: UK explanation of vote at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-11)

UK explanation of vote delivered by Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, following the UN Security Council vote to renew the 1591 sanctions regime on Sudan.

The United Kingdom welcomes the renewal of the Sudan sanctions regime, including the alignment of the Panel of Experts’ mandate.

We are grateful to the United States as penholder for facilitating negotiations and to Council members for their engagement.

I will make three points.

First, we welcome the new language in the mandate expressing concern at reports of conflict-related sexual violence.

In their most recent report, the UN Fact-Finding Mission on Sudan documented widespread and systematic sexual and gender-based violence, including rape, sexual slavery, and forced marriage, often targeting individuals based on their gender and ethnic identity.

We urge the Committee to sanction perpetrators.

Second, the UK stands ready to support further strengthening and expanding of this sanctions regime.

The conflict continues to intensify, with devastating impact on civilians. This sanctions regime needs to be effective.

This should include tackling the growing use of mercenaries and drones and addressing the expansion of fighting and arms flow into the Kordofan states.

Third, President, we urge all Council members to support the work of the Panel of Experts.

It is regrettable that for many months the Sudan panel’s work has been held up by some Council members.

We hope this can now change.

The panel plays a critical role in ensuring that sanctions are effective.

This sanctions regime remains an important tool in the search for peace and security in Sudan and the region.

It can help in the protection of civilians, including by constraining the flow of arms.

We remain committed to working with Council members and regional partners in support of a peaceful future for Sudan.
