RFIG21270 - Statutory Residence Test (SRT): Split year treatment : Case 8 - Starting to have a home in the UK
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


If an individual has no home in the UK but at some point during the tax year they start to have a home in the UK, then they may meet the criteria for Case 8.

They must:
- be UK resident in the tax year
- be non-UK resident for the previous tax year
- be UK resident for the following tax year – this must not be a split year
- have no home in the UK at the beginning of the tax year but start to have a UK home at some point during the tax year and continue to have a UK home for the rest of the tax year and all the following tax year
- not have sufficient UK ties to make them UK resident in the period from the 6 April to the point they start to have a UK home – when they are considering whether they have sufficient UK ties in this part of the year, they should reduce the day count limits in the sufficient ties tables (refer to RFIG20520 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig20520)) by substituting the values from the table below.

ALM Training Services
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)

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 ALM Training Services 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 ALM Training Services 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.

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.

Section 9
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)

The Valuation Office Agency's (VOA) technical manual used to assess Capital Gains and other taxes.

Introduction

9.1 General

The majority of pension schemes are registered with HMRC and are classified as ‘Registered Pension Schemes,’ which can benefit from certain tax exemptions.

The registered pension scheme may make payment to or in respect of a member of the pension scheme, for the purposes of the administration of the scheme. These are called ‘scheme administration member payments’. Such payments may include payments made for the purchase of a pension scheme asset.

9.2 Basis of Value

Section 171 of the Finance Act 2004 provides that such payments should be at an amount which “might be expected to be paid to a person who was at arm’s length.” Any excess over the amount that would be paid on an arm’s length basis will be an unauthorised member payment and taxed accordingly.

The basis of value for pension scheme transactions is not explicitly stated as market value. However, an amount paid “to a person who was at arm’s length” is akin to the ‘market value’ basis of section 272 Taxation of Capital Gains Act 1992, as expanded on, and informed by, case law. Valuations should therefore be provided on the basis of market value.

9.3 Advice Required by HMRC

HMRC may require advice on:

whether a sale price represents the open market value of the property at the date of the transaction

whether any rent represents the open market rent having regard to the terms of the lease granted by the scheme trustees

MCA launches Extended Dry-Docking scheme
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-03)

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency has launched an Extended Dry-Docking (EDD) scheme for qualifying UK vessels, following a successful controlled trial.

New rules from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) enable qualifying UK vessels to undergo a single dry-dock over the course of seven and a half years (90 months).

Extended Dry-Docking (EDD) vessels will be exempt from a requirement for two dry-dockings during the normal five-year cycle, on completion of two consecutive In-Water Surveys (IWS).

EDD applies to new ships or for vessels up to 15 years old from date of build. For vessels already in service, the exemption can be implemented until a ship reaches 10 years of age from build.

The scheme is open to self-propelled, internationally trading vessels of 500GT or more, including, among others: container carriers, LNG/LPG tankers, Ro-Ro cargo ships, and livestock carriers. High-speed craft, passenger vessels, feeder vessels and those on Enhanced Survey Programmes are not included.

Leanne Grillandini, Head of International Survey Operations at the MCA, said:

The EDD scheme improves efficiencies for the shipping industry, with fewer dry-dockings, reduced vessel downtime and lower operating costs, and modernises the UK’s regulatory approach, aligning with technological advances in coatings and inspection regimes.

Eligible vessel owners must hold appropriate class approval and apply via Merchant Shipping Form (MSF) 6570. (https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fmedia%2F689b50829159159c36e94090%2FMSF6570_request_for_entry_onto_extended_dry_dock.docx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK) Upon successful application, an Extended Dry-Docking Certificate of Entry (MSF 1142) and UK Exemption will be issued by MCA Survey Operations.

Entry requirements include hull and machinery planned maintenance plans, screwshaft monitoring, and continuous survey cycles.

Vessels must use high-quality seven-and-a-half-year durable paint coatings, with stable company performance in Port State Control regimes, and a favourable status under the MCA’s EASS risk matrix.

Sea connections, rudder and tailshaft components, hull sensors, and cathodic protection must all have been maintained afloat. The MCA will regularly review the status of vessels and companies enrolled on EDD.

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.

OPSS product safety and consumers: Wave 9 – harms and detriment
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-10)

An independent research report.

This follow-up tracker survey was commissioned by the Office for Product Safety and Standards from YouGov. Previous waves have focused on understanding consumers’ awareness of and attitudes to a range of product safety issues. In this case the main objective was to gain information on experience of harms and detriment, to augment the growing evidence base in this area, which will be used by multiple teams for multiple purposes. The research included topical insights on consumers with physical disabilities, emerging technologies, and personal light electric vehicles (PLEVs). Its findings were based on a representative sample of 10,037 people from across the UK with a supporting telephone survey of 251 people who are very low or non-internet users.

Post-exposure prophylaxis for chickenpox and shingles
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-14)

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is offered to individuals at high risk of severe chickenpox following an exposure.

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is offered to individuals at high risk of severe chickenpox following an exposure. This includes pregnant women, immunosuppressed individuals, and susceptible neonates.

As varicella zoster immunoglobulin (VZIG) is no longer available in the UK for neonates designated in Group 1 – those exposed to their mother (in utero or post-delivery) within one week of onset of chicken pox in the mother – the antiviral treatment should be supplemented with intravenous (i.v.) varicella immunoglobulin. This can be provided as either:
- a hyperimmune product (Varitect CP), which can be obtained via the duty doctor or the Rabies and Immunoglobulin Service (RIgS) team in the same way that VZIG was (see the guidance on Immunoglubilin: when to use (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immunoglobulin-when-to-use))
- or as normal intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) which NHS trusts will have ready access to
A bolus dose of IVIG may also be considered for eligible groups for whom oral antivirals are contraindicated.

The detailed guidance above should be used to assess those at high risk.
