Work out how much Alcohol Duty you need to pay
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-01)

Find the full rates of duty and calculation examples that apply if you make, import or hold beer, cider, spirits, wine or other fermented products.

Products you pay Alcohol Duty on

You need to pay Alcohol Duty on alcoholic products with an alcohol by volume (ABV) exceeding 1.2% for any of the following:
- beer
- cider, including perry
- spirits, including spirit based ready-to-drink products
- wine, including sparkling and fortified wines
- other fermented products (previously called made-wine) like fruit ciders
The duty is due when the alcoholic products are released for consumption in the UK.

How to calculate Alcohol Duty

Alcohol Duty is based on the amount of pure alcohol in the alcoholic product.

To work out the amount of Alcohol Duty due on your alcoholic product, you multiply the number of litres of pure alcohol that your product contains by the appropriate duty rate.

Work out how many litres of finished product you have.

Work out how many litres of pure alcohol you have.

Check the duty rate table in this guidance to find out the appropriate rate of Alcohol Duty is for your product, taking into account its ABV strength.

Work out how much the Alcohol Duty is for your product — multiply the number of litres of pure alcohol in your product by the appropriate rate of duty.

Work out how much Alcohol Duty you have to pay for your product by rounding down to the nearest penny.

Rates of duty (per litre of pure alcohol) from 1 February 2025

Beer

Cider (but not sparkling cider)

Sparkling cider

Spirits or spirit based products

Wine (including sparkling wine)

Other fermented products like fruit ciders

Check if you can pay less Alcohol Duty

You can check if you’re eligible:
- for Small Producer Relief (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-youre-eligible-for-small-producer-relief-on-alcohol-duty)
- to pay less duty on draught products (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-can-pay-less-alcohol-duty-on-draught-products)
Examples of working out the amount of Alcohol Duty you need to pay

Example of a straightforward calculation

You have 573 containers of beer.

Each container holds 7.5 litres of beer.

The ABV of your beer is 8.4%. This means the rate of duty is £21.78 for each litre of pure alcohol in your beer.

Work out how many litres of beer you have.573 x 7.5 = 4,297.5 litres of beer.

Work out how many litres of pure alcohol you have.4,297.5 litres x 8.4% (ABV) = 360.99 litres of pure alcohol.

Work out how much the Alcohol Duty is for your beer.360.99 x £21.78 (the rate of duty) = £7,862.3622.

Work out how much Alcohol Duty you have to pay for your beer by rounding down.£7,862.3622 rounded down to the nearest penny = £7,862.36.

the number of people who are on Universal Credit to August 2025

the number of households who are on Universal Credit to May 2024

See the background information and methodology note (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-statistics-background-information-and-methodology) for guidance on these statistics, such as timeliness, uses, and procedures. Universal Credit claims and starts breakdowns by postcode are no longer available from April 2022 onwards, due to missing geography data. The missing information has been captured and action is being taken to reinstate these breakdowns in future releases. Updates will be provided via Stat-Xplore and the GOV.UK website.

Interactive tools

Software used for the interactive maps is no longer supported. These showed households on Universal Credit at the local authority level and people on Universal Credit at Jobcentre Plus level.

The interactive maps have therefore been withdrawn and a replacement is currently under development. Once completed and launched, the interactive tool (called Examine-a-Stat) will have improved functionality, including interactive maps, to better meet a wider range of user needs. It will be available in due course and the statistics are currently accessible on Stat-Xplore (https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/).

CTM04590 - Corporation Tax: trading losses - relief against total profits: late claims
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-24)


CTA10/S37 (7)

HMRC has power under CTA10/S37 (7) to extend the statutory time limit for claims under S37 (CTM04580 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm04580)).

SP5/01 (see CTM97060 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm97060) for the full text) sets out the HMRC approach to the exercise of this discretionary power. A decision to accept a late claim may be made by a Grade 6 Technical, Compliance or Case Manager, on their own authority, following the approach set out in the Statement. (This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000).

Paragraph 10 of SP5/01 indicates that, in general, the HMRC approach is to admit late claims (and withdrawals of claims) which could not be made within the statutory time limits for reasons beyond the company’s control. The Statement gives examples of such reasons. Those examples are intended to illustrate matters that are beyond a company’s control. They are not intended to be an exhaustive list. Paragraph 11 gives some examples of matters that HMRC would not regard as being beyond the company’s control.

Paragraph 12 of the Statement may apply even if the company cannot show that the reasons for the late claim were beyond its control. The company must send, with its application for the late claim or withdrawal to be admitted, a full explanation of the factors it wishes to be taken into account. If it has not done so, this must be requested as part of consideration of the late claim. A late claim or withdrawal may be accepted if, taking account of all of the factors, it would clearly be unreasonable to refuse it.

Officers should take into account when making a decision on a late claim or withdrawal whether it forms part of a scheme or arrangement, the main purpose or one of the main purposes of which is the avoidance of tax or payment of tax.

Follow the guidance at EM3905 (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/emmanual/EM3905.htm) - EM3906 (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/emmanual/EM3906.htm) where a late claim is made for an accounting period that is the subject of an investigation settlement involving interest and penalties. Relief is allowed only against the amount of the additional assessment.

Community Life Survey: October to December 2024 quarterly release
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-16)

The results of the October to December 2024 quarter of the Community Life Survey.

The Community Life Survey (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/community-life-survey--2) is a nationally representative annual survey of adults (16+) in England that tracks the latest trends and developments across areas related to social action and empowering communities. Data collection on the Community Life Survey commenced in 2012/13 using a face-to-face format. During the survey years from 2013/14 to 2015/16 a push-to-web format was tested, which included collecting online/paper data alongside the face-to-face data, before moving fully to a push-to-web format in 2016/17. The results included in this release are based on online/paper completes only.

Released: 17 July 2025

Period covered: October to December 2024

Geographic coverage: National level data for England

Next release date: Autumn 2025

For the 2023/24 and 2024/25 survey years, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) partnered with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to boost the Community Life Survey to be able to produce meaningful estimates at Local Authority level. This has enabled us to have the most granular data we have ever had. The questionnaire for 2024/25 has been developed collaboratively to adapt to the needs and interests of both DCMS and MHCLG, including some new questions and changes to existing questions, response options and definitions in the 23/24 and 24/25 surveys.

Fieldwork for 2024/25 was delivered over two quarters (October – December 2024 and January – March 2025) in line with the 2023/24 survey. As such there are two quarterly publications in 2024/25, in addition to the annual publication. The quarterly releases contain headline findings only and do not contain geographical or demographic breakdowns – this detail will be published through the 2024/25 annual publication, due in Autumn 2025.

The pre-release access list above contains the ministers and officials who have received privileged early access to this release of Community Life Survey data. In line with best-practice, the list has been kept to a minimum and those given access for briefing purposes had a maximum of 24 hours. Details on the pre-release access arrangements for this dataset are available in the accompanying material.

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 Lateral Solutions IPC 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 Lateral Solutions IPC 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
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- 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.
Listeria: guidance, data and analysis
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-24)

The symptoms, diagnosis, management and epidemiology of listeriosis, the infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.

Listeria causes listeriosis, a rare but potentially life-threatening disease.

Healthy adults are likely to experience only mild infection, causing flu-like symptoms or gastroenteritis. However, listeriosis is dangerous to pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.

Listeria is typically spread by contaminated foods. Listeria is an unusual bacterium because it can grow at low temperatures, including refrigeration temperatures of below 5°C. It is, however, killed by cooking food thoroughly and by pasteurisation.

Information on listeriosis is also available on NHS.UK (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/listeriosis/) and the Food Standards Agency website (https://www.food.gov.uk/listeria).
