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 Lincolnshire Action Trust 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 Lincolnshire Action Trust 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
We also pledge the following:

-working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers

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.

IHTM43025 - Calculating the transferable nil rate band: interaction of ability to transfer unused nil rate band with double taxation conventions, double taxation relief and successive charges relief
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-21)


The extent to which an estate is chargeable to tax may be governed by a double taxation convention (IHTM27161 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm27161)), or a liability to tax may be reduced to nil by double taxation relief (IHTM27160 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm27160)) or successive charges relief (IHTM22041 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm22041)).

Where under the terms of a double taxation convention an asset is not subject to tax, then if this means that the chargeable estate is below the nil rate band, the amount unused is available for transfer.

However, where there is a liability to tax that is reduced to nil by either double taxation relief or successive charges relief, the nil rate band remains fully used. We do not repay any ’excess’ relief and ‘excess’ relief cannot be converted into unused nil rate band.

Single Customs Platform Programme Accounting Officer's Assessment Summary
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-18)

This sets out the main points from the HMRC Accounting Officer's assessment of a major government programme.

Single Customs Platform Programme

In March 2025, HMRC’s Accounting Officer undertook an assessment of the Single Customs Platform Programme.

The government announced in February 2021 that the UK’s customs regime would move to the Customs Declaration Service (CDS) for all declarations. The CDS system deals with imports from both the EU and non-EU, is built on modern cloud technology, and the platform is better enabled to meet evolving needs of both traders and government. CDS is being delivered through the Single Customs Platform Programme.

The Accounting Officer’s assessment concluded that the programme remains value for money and deliverable.

Ethical considerations in the use of machine learning for research and statistics
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-29)

This high-level guidance explores ethical considerations associated with the use of machine learning techniques for research and statistical purposes.

Description

This high-level guidance explores ethical considerations associated with the use of machine learning techniques for research and statistical purposes. This guidance is not exhaustive, but aims to assist and support analysts, researchers, data scientists, and statisticians navigating the ethical issues surrounding machine learning based projects. Links to further resources are provided if you would like to read about particular aspects in more detail.

This guidance has been produced in collaboration with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Machine Learning 2021 group led by the United Kingdom’s Data Science Campus, and as part of their Data Ethics workstream. This workstream was led by the UK Statistics Authority’s data ethics team and involved engagement and collaboration with multiple countries. This workstream was developed following the identification of a need for further applied guidance in the use of machine learning for the production of official statistics by the international research and statistical community. The guidance has been created with a focus on the use of machine learning tools for the undertaking of research and production of aggregate statistics (recommendations are made at a policy level, not an individual level) and whilst there may be some overlap with operational or other uses, this is not the intended focus of the document.

Though many of the ethical topics discussed within this document are not unique to machine learning, they are nonetheless worth further consideration with a focus on the practical application of mitigations specific to machine learning.

The guidance is divided into several parts, providing an initial introduction to machine learning and ethics, the most common ethical considerations needing exploration when using machine learning, some potential mitigations for these issues, and links to further resources.

An ethics checklist has also been provided, which summarises the main points covered in this guidance.

CG69001 - Insurance: Chargeable Events legislation
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-31)


The `Chargeable Events' legislation, see IPTM3000+, takes priority over the charge to Capital Gains Tax, because TCGA92/S37 results in the disposal consideration only being taken into account for Capital Gains Tax purposes to the extent that it is not charged to Income Tax as income of the person making the disposal. Sums received under policies of life insurance, contracts for life annuities and capital redemption policies may be taxable under the Chargeable Events legislation. The charge arises on `Chargeable Event Gains', which are calculated broadly as the difference between the premiums paid and benefits received. Chargeable Event Gains are liable to Income Tax. The Chargeable Event measure of gains is not the same as the Capital Gains Tax measure.

IPTM3500+ explains the basis of computation of Chargeable Event Gains. See CG69061+ for the computation of the gain or loss accruing on a disposal of the rights conferred by a life insurance or other contract when the disposal also gives rise to a Chargeable Event Gain.

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.
