MTT42010 - Particular entities and adjustments: Miscellaneous entities: Partnerships - Deemed continuity
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


In certain cases, the membership of a partnership can change, resulting in a new partnership. Legally, this may constitute the cessation of the existing partnership and the commencement of a new partnership.

Where certain conditions are met, the new partnership will be treated as continuation of the old partnership for MTT purposes, in accordance with section 232A of Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Change of membership

For MTT purposes, a partnership is considered to be the same partnership even when there is a change of membership, as long as a person who was a member before the change remains a member after the change.

Membership of partnership renewed due to transfer of ownership interests

Where:
- ownership interests in a partnership are transferred to more than one individual or entity, and
- the result of this transfer is a partnership where none of the original partners are members,
the new partnership is treated as being the same partnership.

For this purpose, a transfer of ownership interests includes any series of transactions that have the effect of a transfer, such as the cancellation of interests and the issue of corresponding interests.

Partnership dissolved

If a partnership is otherwise dissolved, the partnership is treated as a continuing entity for the purpose of dealing with its rights and obligations under MTT, for all accounting periods up to dissolution.

For administration purposes, each person who was a partner of the partnership in the accounting period ending with the dissolution is treated as being a partner of that continuing entity.

Organised drug trafficker has sentence increased
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-06)

A member of an organised crime operation that trafficked cocaine across the Southwest has had his sentence increased, after the Solicitor General intervened.

Stephen Wills, 36, from Bridford, Exeter, has had his sentence increased by five years under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme, following an intervention by the Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP.

The court heard that between 2019 and 2020, Wills was part of two organised crime groups that trafficked tens of thousands of pounds-worth of cocaine across the country.

The group delivered drugs from a foreign crime group operating in London to drug dealers around Exeter.

Wills played a significant role operating from the rented farmhouse where he lived with his family, using the outbuildings to store and package cocaine and to harvest and produce cannabis.

Police discovered this when the offender was stopped in his vehicle and arrested on 1 May 2020.

A subsequent investigation of the property found several firearms, ammunition and more than a quarter kilogram of cocaine, with a wholesale value of over £46,000.

The court also heard that Wills had 33 previous convictions, including for firearm offences. Wills was prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition for five years in 2018. In 2021, he was convicted for three offences relating to possession of an air rifle and ammunition

The Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP said:

This offender was part of two organised crime gangs which trafficked significant quantities of drugs across the country.

We know that the impact of organised crime on our communities is devastating and I welcome the Court’s decision to increase Wills’ sentence following my intervention.”

On 13 March 2025, Stephen Wills was sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment at Exeter Crown Court after he was sentenced for conspiracy to supply and possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs and possession of a prohibited firearm.

On 5 June 2025, Wills’ sentence was increased from nine years to 14 years after it was referred to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence

COM94031 - Payments: payments work lists: payments in suspense list (LSUP) (Action Guide)
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-09)


To deal with cases on the Payments in Suspense List in the HMRC Payments, consider steps 1 - 8 below. The guide is presented as follows.

Action when case first appears on the work list

1. Use function LSUP (Payments In Suspense List) to display the work list and:
- select the entry that you want to work
- select the [View] button to see all available details for the case
2. Use function VPPD (View Payment and Posting Details) screens COT215D and COT215E to find any outstanding COTAX liability for this company against which you can allocate the payment.

3. If you find outstanding COTAX liability or an overdue Accounting Period (AP), use function REAW (Direct Reallocation Within COTAX) to reallocate the payment to the correct AP.

For more information see COM122000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com122000) onwards and note that if you reallocate to an overdue AP for which there is no charge, you should use function RAPP (Revise AP Pursuit) to inhibit automatic repayment and reallocation on the receiving AP first.

4. If you cannot find a COTAX AP against which to allocate the payment, review the payslip and any associated papers received with the payment.

5. If the payslip or correspondence shows that the payment has been allocated to the wrong company record:
- use function TRCT (Trace Taxpayer) to find the correct COTAX reference
- use function REAW (Direct Reallocation Within COTAX) option 02, to reallocate the payment to the correct company reference. For more information see COM122000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com122000) onwards
The case is automatically deleted when the payment is reallocated.

Write to the companies if appropriate to explain what you have done.

Where the payment has been allocated correctly but there is no AP or outstanding liability against which it can be allocated

6. Contact the responsible office to establish whether a charge is to be raised or amended then:
- use the BF facility on the work list to monitor the case at regular intervals until an AP is created or a charge is raised or amended
- if you establish that the amount is a genuine overpayment or the caseworker says there is no further expected liability, arrange for the payment to be repaid
Where the payment is not proper to COTAX

7. Use function REAO (Direct Reallocation Out Of COTAX) to reallocate the payment to OAS for reallocation elsewhere:
- the case is automatically deleted when the payment is reallocated
- for more information see COM122000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com122000) onwards
Where the payment was made in error

8. Use function REAO (Direct Reallocation Out Of COTAX) to move the money to OAS and arrange for a repayment to be made. For more information see COM125000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com125000) onwards.

The case is automatically deleted when the payment is repaid.

Suspended sentence for Belfast man convicted of lying to the SIA
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-20)

Jonathan Swales was given a 4-month prison sentence suspended 12 months after pleading guilty to making a false statement to the Security Industry Authority.

On 28 October 2025, Jonathan Swales appeared at Laganside Courts and pleaded guilty to one count of making a false statement to the SIA. This is an offence under Section 22 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001.

Alongside his suspended 4-month prison sentence, Mr Swales was ordered to pay a fine of £150 and £56 in court fees, totalling £206.

This came after Mr Swales was refused an SIA licence in October 2024, before reapplying in December of the same year listing a different address and stating that he had lived there since 2005.

The SIA believed that this was done in an attempt to circumvent the eligibility checks that had previously prevented him from obtaining a licence. It was also established that Mr Swales had been known by a previous name, which he failed to disclose on his SIA licence application form.

Mr Swales declined to attend an interview with the SIA on the matter and so was summonsed to appear at Laganside Courts in respect to this offence, where the guilty plea was then entered.

Jenny Hart, SIA Criminal Investigations Manager said:

By lying to the SIA in his application in an attempt to illegally obtain an SIA licence, Mr Swales was attempting to put the public’s safety at risk. The SIA’s licensing checks are in place to ensure an applicant is fit and proper to hold a licence and work in the private security industry. We will use the full power of the law to prosecute anyone who seeks to undermine those checks.

Background

By law, security operatives working under contract must hold and display a valid SIA licence. Information about SIA enforcement and penalties (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/learn-how-we-enforce-sia-regulation) can be found on GOV.UK/SIA (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/security-industry-authority).

The offence relating to the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/12/contents) that is mentioned above is:
- Section 22 – Making a false statement to the SIA
The SIA is the organisation responsible for regulating the private security industry in the UK, reporting to the Home Secretary under the terms of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/12/contents). The SIA’s main duties are the compulsory licensing of individuals undertaking designated activities and managing the voluntary Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS).

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 ATS 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;

RDRM74100 - Temporary repatriation facility: Scope of designation: Overview
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


Overview (#Overview)

Pre-2008 foreign income and gains (#Pre-2008 foreign income and gains)

Pre-2012 foreign currency gains (#Pre-2012 foreign currency gains)

Assets derived from foreign income and gains (#Assets derived from foreign income and gains)

Overview

Amounts can only be designated under the temporary repatriation facility (TRF) if they meet the definition of qualifying overseas capital – see RDRM72100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm72100). However, these amounts may not simply be money in an overseas bank account. They may have been used to purchase overseas property, or they may have been brought to the UK, for example, as exempt property (see RDRM74400 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm74400)) or having been invested in a UK company and business investment relief has been claimed (see RDRM74700 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm74700)). Amounts may be held within a mixed fund (see RDRM75100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm75100) onwards) or in a joint account (see RDRM74200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm74200)).

Additionally, an individual may not have some of their foreign income and gains in their possession on 6 April 2025, either because those amounts are being held by someone else (see RDRM74500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm74500)), or because they receive income during the TRF period that arose prior to 6 April 2025, such as earnings for a previous tax year (see RDRM74600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm74600)).

Pre-2008 foreign income and gains

As with any other income and gains which arose in a period during which an individual was subject to the remittance basis, pre-6 April 2008 foreign income and gains can be designated under the TRF.

Pre-2012 foreign currency gains

Since 6 April 2012, gains on foreign currency bank accounts have been exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT). Pre-6 April 2012 foreign currency gains, which would have been subject to CGT on remittance, but which have not yet been remitted to the UK, can be designated under the TRF.

Assets derived from foreign income and gains

An individual may not have their funds readily available if they have reinvested their pre-6 April 2025 foreign income or gains, which arose during a year they were subject to the remittance basis. However, designations under the TRF are not limited to cash held overseas which means that it is possible to make designations in respect of amounts that have been used to purchase non-liquid assets.

Green synthesis of reticular materials

Review highlights several aspects of reticular materials.

Abstract

To help ensure a prosperous future on Earth for coming generations, academia and industry need to transform the way they plan and carry out the synthesis of novel materials to make them more environmentally sustainable. In particular, the field of reticular materials (metal-organic frameworks, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, and covalent organic frameworks) has great potential to outperform other materials and revolutionize various fields of applications. This review highlights several key aspects from the choice of their starting materials, solvents and synthetic methodologies that fall under the umbrella of the Green Chemistry principles, and incorporates a Circular Economy perspective by providing relevant strategies such as reuse, regeneration, or recycling to maximize the value of the Earth’s available resources.

This article is part of the Transforming Energy Access programme.

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.

The Prime Minister spoke to New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon this morning.

The Prime Minister spoke to New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon this morning.

The leaders began by discussing the situation on the ground in Gaza, and the desperate scenes of starvation and hunger seen in recent days and weeks. It was vital large volumes of aid reached Gaza in the coming hours and days, both agreed.

The Prime Minister then set out his plan for peace, including putting the UK on a pathway to recognition. That recognition needed to be rooted in a process of change that made material difference to the situation on the ground, the Prime Minister added.

Updating on his recent discussions with partners across the world, the two Prime Ministers agreed on the importance of the international community working together to secure a ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and a viable two-state solution that ensured Hamas did not play a role in a future state.

Turning to the situation in Ukraine, the leaders welcomed President Trump’s deadline for Russia to show it was serious about peace and reiterated their support for Ukraine.

The leaders agreed to stay in close touch.
