Who will be considered for inclusion in the Managing Serious Defaulters (MSD) programme?

From 1 April 2013, MSD will monitor insolvencies, identified by FIS as a high ongoing risk to HMRC, to assure their future compliance.

MSD insolvency cases have one or more of the following features:
- HM Revenue and Customs is the major creditor
- the insolvency is considered to be contrived or the insolvency process has been manipulated by the company to the detriment of HMRC
- minimal distrainable assets at liquidation
- the actions of the directors lead to the insolvency
- HMRC liability is disguised by non-submission of returns, incorrect returns and/or payment of low assessments
- a link between the insolvent company and its successor by way of directors, a manager or other responsible persons
- a new company continues trading from the same premises and supplies the same customers as the previous company.
MSD entry criteria

You should only refer insolvency cases to MSD where civil recovery action is taken by the Insolvency Practitioner against the director or directors.

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 Bernicia Group 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 Bernicia Group 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
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.

Rate of Yield
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-30)

Information on the Rate of Yield.

The rate of yield is the amount of product produced from the exported goods. It is used to calculate the amount of exported goods present in the re-imported product and so affects the duty relief a person can claim when they import their processed products.

The expected rate of yield or the method by which it is to be calculated must be specified in the application for outward processing. It must be expressed clearly, for example 1 for 1, or 1 dress per 3 metres of fabric. The rate of yield should not be expressed as a percentage.

If the import involves several different types of products or the products imported are made up from several different types of goods, it will help to clear the goods quickly, and possibly more cheaply, if a costed list or ‘bill of materials’ is provided for each product. The bill of materials should show the quantity of each type of exported goods used to produce one unit of each type of processed product. This will make it simpler for the agent and customs to calculate the amount of duty relief available and will also allow customs audit staff to check the outward processing records more quickly and accurately.

In cases where the rate of yield is not known at the time of application or the rate may vary, the application should be noted to say that the person intends to use production records as the basis for establishing it. If the rate of yield on the application/authorisation form changes or is incorrect, the Customs Supervising Office must be informed immediately.

Retained EU law and assimilated law dashboard
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)

This dashboard shows a list of retained EU law (REUL) and assimilated law. These are laws that the UK saved to ensure legislative continuity immediately after Brexit.

The REUL and assimilated law dashboard provides the public with information about the amount of assimilated law there is, where it sits across UK government departments, and the actions taken to either reform, revoke or retain it.

It includes UK legislation which is reserved, and which has mixed competence or falls under devolved competence. However, it does not include any legislation made by the devolved governments or by the Scottish Parliament, Senedd or Northern Ireland Assembly.

Following a review of REUL by the previous government, the dashboard was first published in June 2022 and catalogued 2,417 individual pieces of REUL identified by UK government departments. Since then, additional REUL was identified, now amounting to 6,911 individual pieces. The dashboard was updated in July 2025 alongside the publication of the fourth Assimilated Law Parliamentary Report and remains a useful resource for tracking the ongoing status of assimilated law.

The government remains committed to reforming assimilated law, where desirable, to foster a pro-business environment through a streamlined regulatory framework that drives growth and supports innovation. The reform of assimilated law will also support the delivery of key strategies while maintaining consumer and environmental protections. These strategies include the UK’s modern Industrial Strategy, the Trade Strategy, the 10-Year Infrastructure Strategy, and a strategy for small and medium-sized enterprises. We will also reform assimilated law in the context of the government’s national missions as well as our work to strengthen relationships with the devolved governments to deliver for people across the UK. We will continue to be guided by this Government’s work to strengthen its new strategic partnership with the EU.

Background

REUL was a type of domestic law, created by the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA) and came into effect at the end of the UK’s post-Brexit transition period (which ended on 31 December 2020). The primary objective of REUL was to provide legal continuity and certainty at the end of the transition period.

On 29 June 2023 the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill 2023 received Royal Assent. Under the ‘REUL Act’, REUL which had not been revoked by the end of 2023 became “assimilated law”. Unlike REUL, assimilated law is not interpreted in line with EU principles of interpretation; these were removed from domestic law by the REUL Act with effect from 1 January 2024.

The dashboard was built using Observable via GitHub, with improved accessibility for all users. The dashboard now holds a total of 6,911 individual pieces of REUL, concentrated over 400 unique policy areas. New features may be added to the dashboard in due course.

For further instructions on using the dashboard visit the Retained EU Law and Assimilated Law dashboard (https://reul.businessandtrade.gov.uk/).

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.

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.

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.

Production accessories are goods which are not found in (re)exported products but which allow or facilitate their production. They may be partially or entirely used up in the production process but relief from the duty due on them may still be allowed.

Note: For the purposes of this section the term 'catalysts' covers all agents and production accessories.

'Catalysts' can be entered to IP for use on non-union goods or free circulation goods. The processed products must be exported outside the UK to discharge duty liability on the catalyst.

Any duty liability calculations are based upon the amount of catalyst used to manufacture the 'processed products'. If goods that are claimed to be catalyst are present in any processed products, they must not be considered under this section.

Catalysts used on free circulation goods

Where catalysts are to be entered to IP for use on free circulation goods, a guarantee for the duty and import VAT on the catalyst is required. This is to ensure that the processed free circulation goods are intended for export outside the UK and to prevent any advantage being gained over traders who enter catalysts to free circulation for similar operations.

Note: When applications are received the authorising office must ensure that IP is not being used to produce goods that are for use in free circulation or to obtain duty free catalysts for use on the home market.

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 Liverpool Hope University 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 Liverpool Hope University 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Charities
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.
