Experimental Statistics on the carbon impact of waste from households managed by local authorities in England
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-04)

Provisional annual results for carbon emissions from local authority collected waste from households for England.

This publication covers annual provisional estimates for the carbon impact of local authority collected waste from households in England. These statistics are based on data submitted by all local authorities in England to WasteDataFlow (http://www.wastedataflow.org/) on the waste they collect and manage and “Carbon WARM (https://wrap.org.uk/resources/report/carbon-waste-and-resources-metric)” emission factors calculated for Defra by WRAP.

The statistical notice contains detail on the methodology and gives background and context to these statistics and the waste and emission measures they present.

These statistics are experimental. They are a work in progress and will be subject to revision as more up to date composition data becomes available and methodologies are improved.

These statistics are based around the local authority collected waste from households measure, part of a set of statistics published (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/local-authority-collected-waste-management-annual-results) annually.

DT9893 - Double Taxation Relief Manual: Guidance by country: Ireland: Approved Retirement Fund
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-12)


UK residents may be in receipt of Approved Retirement Fund (ARF) income, which is an Irish sourced product reinvested from a pension scheme, upon retirement.

When funds have moved from the pension scheme into the ARF, this changes the income source from a pension into an Investment Account. Only growth generated in the ARF is taxable in the UK in the year it arises – interest, capital gains, income from property etc.

Pension Lump Sum

At the point of changing funds from the pension to the ARF, a pension lump sum has been withdrawn and is taxable in the UK in accordance with Article 17 or Article 20 of the UK / Ireland treaty. Ireland may tax this as Capital upon distribution from the ARF. The UK has primary taxing rights on this income for UK residents and no UK relief is due.

UK Treatment and SA Declaration

The Qualifying Fund Manager (QFM) responsible for the ARF is able to provide a breakdown of the taxable growth into the ARF in some cases. The Breakdown should be declared in accordance with the underlying sources of income into the fund (interest, dividends, CG etc)

However, some ARF products sold by life assurance companies are structured as unit linked funds, where the growth cannot be broken down to underlying sources of income. In these specific cases, the income would be taxed in accordance with the “Income not expressly mentioned” article of the UK / Ireland treaty, which allows only the country of residence to tax.

This “Income not expressly mentioned” should be declared on the foreign income supplementary page (SA106) as a foreign pension in the “Overseas pensions, social security benefits and royalties” boxes with a description of the income and structure entered in the “white space” box of the SA100.

Ireland Repayment

Ireland will continue to tax the ARF at source upon distribution. To reclaim the Irish tax as appropriate, eg if taxed as the underlying sources or as Income not expressly mentioned, a revised refund claim form “Refund of Taxes Paid on ARF Distributions” is available on Revenue Ireland’s website – currently available at Claim for repayment of tax paid by non-residents on ARF distributions (https://www.revenue.ie/en/jobs-and-pensions/documents/refund-of-taxes-paid-on-arf-distributions.pdf)

ECSH47535 - Refusing an MSB agent - when to contact a principal
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-07)


Introduction

A money service business (MSB) registered with HMRC for anti-money laundering supervision can appoint another business to operate on its behalf as an agent. The business that is registered with HMRC is referred to as a principal and any business that it appoints to operate on its behalf is its agent.

Some MSBs will register with HMRC for anti-money laundering supervision while operating as an agent of another MSB. For example, a MSB that acts as a money transmission agent may apply to register with HMRC as a currency exchange provider in its own right.

When you refuse to register a MSB due to the determination that a business or any of its beneficial owners, officers or managers (BOOMs) are not fit and proper (F&P), you should establish if the business operates as an agent of a principal MSB and send a letter to this principal MSB advising that its agent has failed the F&P test. The letter should not contain any information regarding the reason for the F&P failure. The principal can determine the reason for refusal by contacting its agent, in the event the agent hasn’t already notified them of the F&P failure.

You should not contact a principal when an agents’ registration has been refused for reasons unrelated to the F&P test. For example, failure to respond to notice issued under regulation 57(3) of The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017). This is because an agent does not need to have a registration in their own right, in order to act as an agent. We would contact the principal of an agent if the agent is found to not be F&P, as the principal will need to determine the appropriate action it needs to take as the principal business.

How to establish if a MSB acts as an agent

You should search the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Financial Services Register (https://register.fca.org.uk/s/) to establish if a business is acting as a money transmission agent. (This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)

How to inform a principal firm that its agent has been refused for failing the F&P test

When refusing the MSB agent for failing the F&P test, you should set a reminder to contact its principal firm 30 days after the date the notice to refuse was issued to the business and take the following action:
- If the business requests a review of the decision, you must not contact the principal until the result of the review is determined.
- If the decision is upheld at review, you should send a letter notifying the principal firm that its agent has been refused as it has failed the F&P test.
- If the decision is overturned at review, you do not have to take any further action.
- If the agent does not request a review within 30 days- you should send a letter to its principal firm notifying that its agent has been refused as it has failed the F&P test.

New duties imposed on certain engine oils and hydraulic fluids
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-11)

The Secretary of State has accepted TRA's recommendation to impose anti-dumping measures on certain engine oils and hydraulic fluids from Lithuania and the UAE

The Secretary of State for Business & Trade has today (11 December 2025) accepted the Trade Remedies Authority’s final recommendation (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/public/case/AD0059/submission/1f339b5a-7d07-4e2a-a371-6d7107f5b6a9/) to impose anti-dumping measures on certain engine oils and hydraulic fluids imported from Lithuania and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The decision follows a detailed investigation that the TRA initiated in response to an application from UK manufacturer Aztec Oils Ltd., in June 2024. The investigation covered certain engine oils and hydraulic fluids, including passenger car motor oils, heavy-duty commercial vehicle oils, and hydraulic oils. The investigation found that these products have been dumped in the UK market, causing material injury to domestic industry.

The TRA recommended anti-dumping duties of up to 84.72% for individual participating companies and countrywide rates of 95.36% for Lithuania and 34.55% for the UAE, for a period of five years.

Note to editors:
- The investigation was initiated on 17 June 2024.
- The Statement of Essential Facts was published on 22 September 2025, followed by a consultation period.
- The TRA is the UK’s independent body responsible for investigating whether trade remedies are needed to counter unfair import practices.
- Anti-dumping duties are applied when a foreign producer exports goods at prices below their normal value, causing harm to domestic industry.
- The period of investigation was 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. To assess injury, the TRA examined the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2024.
- The anti-dumping duties will apply from the day after publication of the final determination.
Universal Periodic Review 49: UK Statement on Armenia
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-02)

Statement by the UK's Ambassador for Human Rights to the UN, Eleanor Sanders, at Armenia's Universal Periodic Review at the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Thank you, Mr President,

The UK welcomes the positive steps taken by Armenia since its 2020 review, particularly strengthening of the domestic violence law in 2024, which offers a robust framework for addressing domestic violence.

We also welcome Armenia abolishing the death penalty in all circumstances and their positive trajectory on media freedom.

However, we remain concerned about reported incidences of continued discrimination, hate speech and attacks against LGBT+ individuals.

We recommend that Armenia:

Implements an anti-discrimination law protecting sexual orientation and gender identity in all sectors to combat LGBT+ hate crimes and hate speech.

Ratifies the Istanbul Convention to protect women from violence and domestic abuse.

Implements a plan for community-based services to protect and include persons with psychosocial and intellectual disabilities.

Thank you.

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.

Foreign ministers' joint statement on measures targeting Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-09)

Joint statement by the foreign ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and the UK on measures targeting Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.

Joint statement:

Today, the Foreign Ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom have announced sanctions and other measures targeting Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich for inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

Settler violence is incited by extremist rhetoric which calls for Palestinians to be driven from their homes, encourages violence and human rights abuses and fundamentally rejects the two-state solution. Settler violence has led to the deaths of Palestinian civilians and the displacement of whole communities.

We are steadfastly committed to the two-state solution which is the only way to guarantee security and dignity for Israelis and Palestinians and ensure long term stability in the region, but it is imperilled by extremist settler violence and settlement expansion.

Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights. Extremist rhetoric advocating the forced displacement of Palestinians and the creation of new Israeli settlements is appalling and dangerous. These actions are not acceptable. We have engaged the Israeli Government on this issue extensively, yet violent perpetrators continue to act with encouragement and impunity. This is why we have taken this action now – to hold those responsible to account. The Israeli Government must uphold its obligations under international law and we call on it to take meaningful action to end extremist, violent and expansionist rhetoric.

The measures announced today do not deviate from our unwavering support for Israel’s security and we continue to condemn the horrific terror attacks of 7 October by Hamas. Today’s measures are targeted towards individuals who in our view undermine Israel’s own security and its standing in the world. We continue to want a strong friendship with the people of Israel based on our shared ties, values and commitment to their security and future.

Today’s measures focus on the West Bank, but of course this cannot be seen in isolation from the catastrophe in Gaza. We continue to be appalled by the immense suffering of civilians, including the denial of essential aid. There must be no unlawful transfer of Palestinians from Gaza or within the West Bank, nor any reduction in the territory of the Gaza Strip. We will continue to work with the Israeli Government and a range of partners. We will strive to ensure an immediate ceasefire, the release now of the remaining hostages and for the unhindered flow of humanitarian aid including food. We want to see a reconstructed Gaza no longer run by Hamas and a political pathway to a two state solution.
