CG70230 - Land: legal and beneficial interests in land
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-22)


When a piece of land is conveyed from one person to another, the names shown on the conveyance will be those of the legal owners before and after the transfer. However, they will not necessarily be the holders of the beneficial interest in the land and it is this interest which is normally relevant for CGT purposes, see CG10702 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg10702#). Establishing the true owner or owners of the beneficial interest in land can be a difficult matter. There is no single factor which determines beneficial ownership. Each case must be considered in the light of its own particular facts, but the following are indicators that a person has beneficial ownership of land:
- they hold legal title (in the absence of any contrary evidence the legal owner will normally also be the beneficial owner);
- they occupy the land;
- they receive any rental income from the land;
- they provided the funds used to purchase the land;
- they received the sale proceeds from a disposal of the land.

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 Boon Brown Limited 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 Boon Brown Limited 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 Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.

EIM35004 - Travelling expenses: Non-resident and qualifying new resident employees working in the United Kingdom: use of employees' own vehicles: mileage allowances and mileage allowance relief
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-11)


Part 4 Chapter 2 ITEPA 2003

Non-resident or qualifying new resident employees who work in the UK may use their own vehicles for business travel. Approved mileage allowance payments (AMAPs) paid to employees in respect of business travel in their own vehicles are exempt from tax. The actual cost of such travel is not deductible (Section 359 ITEPA 2003). However, employees may be entitled to a deduction for mileage allowance relief (MAR) for travel that would have qualified for tax relief as business travel (see EIM31800 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim31800) onwards). This may be the case whether or not they receive AMAPs. See EIM31205 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim31205) for an overview of the system.The AMAPs and MAR legislation links the meaning of business travel directly to the rules for deductions under Sections 337 to 342 ITEPA. This link should be taken to mean that business travel also includes journeys that qualify for tax relief under the special rules for non-resident or qualifying new resident employees working in the United Kingdom. The effect of this is that where MAR is available in respect of the use of a vehicle -
- no deduction may be made under Sections 373 to 375 but
- the travel will be eligible for MAR if, in the absence of MAR, a deduction would have been available for it.
It follows that AMAPs will be exempt and MAR may be due for employees who use their own vehicles for travelling between the country where they normally live and the UK provided that all the other conditions for relief under Section 373 have been satisfied (see EIM35010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim35010)).Section 374 provides relief for the travelling expenses of an employee's family where certain conditions are satisfied (see EIM35050 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim35050)). The legislation providing for the exemption for AMAPs and for MAR requires an employee to use a qualifying vehicle for business travel. Therefore, the exemption for AMAPs and MAR may be available when the family accompanies the employee but not when the family travels alone. The additional exemption for passenger payments is unlikely to be available for family members who accompany the employee. This is because qualifying passengers have also to be employees for whom the travel is business travel.

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.

Ian Murray: Year of Progress at the Scotland Office
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

The Scotland Office has taken huge steps forward in delivering for people in Scotland, the Scottish Secretary has said.

Speaking as he published his department’s annual report, Ian Murray set out how the department has been reshaped and given more powers to help make life better for people in Scotland as part of the UK Government’s Plan for Change.

In Ian Murray’s first year at the Scotland Office he has:

Restructured the department to deliver his four key priorities – green energy, economic growth, tackling poverty and delivering Brand Scotland.

Ensured the department received cash and spending powers to deliver its Brand Scotland campaign to sell the best of Scotland around the world.

Taken a key role in directing new funding for local growth projects.

Reset relationships with the Scottish Government.

Speaking after the report was laid in Parliament, Ian Murray said:

“Over the past year I have reformed and restructured the Scotland Office, so it can deliver the UK Government’s Plan for Change in Scotland, focusing on my priorities of economic growth, clean energy, Brand Scotland and tackling poverty.

“This work has started in earnest, with £3 million for Brand Scotland. This is a fantastic opportunity to promote all that is great about Scotland around the world, and show investors the opportunities of Scotland.

“We are also taking a key role in delivering local growth funding in Scotland, with the UK Government delivering £1.7 billion in local growth projects across Scotland. Our industrial strategy will make sure we can take advantage of the jobs of the future and GB Energy, headquartered here in Scotland, will drive our clean energy transition.”

On Brand Scotland, Mr Murray has already invested some of the funding to sign deals with the Royal Edinburgh Royal Tattoo and the Scottish Chambers of commerce.
