EIM35100 - Travelling expenses: Non-resident and qualifying new resident employees working in the United Kingdom: meaning of travelling expenses
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-11)


Sections 373 to 375 ITEPA 2003

The legislation relating to the rules described at EIM35030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim35030)and EIM35050 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim35050)uses the terms "expenses incurred on a journey" and "travel facilities provided for any journey".

They are not defined but they should all be read as covering both fares and subsistence expenditure while travelling.

Example

If an employee travels from Milan to the United Kingdom to work at the employer's office in London, Section 373 allows the travel costs of a journey.

If the individual travels by train, eats meals on the train and stays overnight in a hotel to break the journey, all of the costs would be allowable subject to all of the relevant conditions being satisfied.

The subsistence is part of the journey.

However, if the employer pays for the employee's hotel accommodation in London no deduction is possible under Section 373 because this is no longer part of the travel to the UK.

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 Staffline Group Plc 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 Staffline Group Plc 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
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

CH405400 - Charging penalties: suspending penalties: conditions met before suspension period starts
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-13)


This page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

Sometimes a person will put in place changes to their records and systems before any suspension conditions are proposed or discussed. The person should not be disadvantaged by this but the penalty still needs to be assessed. If the case is settled by contract, a penalty case must still be created on NPPS. This is for statistical records purposes and to record the non-compliance, for possible future reference.

The NPPS will not suspend a penalty without at least one specific condition.

You should set specific conditions that describe the changes already made by the taxpayer.

You should set the suspension period at the minimum of one month. This means you should self-manage the suspension and not send the case to the Central Penalty Team (CPT). When the suspension period expires, you can update NPPS to show the conditions have been met. In the unlikely event (for most regimes) that a return was also due in that month-long period, you should confirm it was filed, for completeness. You can then send NPPS15 to the customer.
Research and Development tax relief advance clearances
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

We are seeking views on widening the use of advance clearances in the R&D tax reliefs to reduce error and fraud, provide certainty to businesses and improve the customer experience.

The aim of the consultation is to explore options to reduce error and fraud, provide certainty to businesses and improve the customer experience. The government is seeking views on whether a system of advanced clearances would deliver these aims and the best way to design and operate such a system.

The government welcomes responses from businesses of all sizes, claiming or intending to claim Research and Development reliefs, interest groups, representative bodies, industry bodies and agents.

The government is further supporting stability for business investment by consulting on a new process to give major projects increased certainty in advance about the tax that applies (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/advance-tax-certainty-for-major-projects-consultation), and by announcing that businesses will be able to obtain certainty on the transfer pricing treatment of Cost Contribution Arrangements (CCAs) through the UK’s existing Advance Pricing Agreement programme.

Fish and Crustaceans
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-30)

Information on how authorised use can be used to bring fish and crustaceans into the UK.

Authorised use can be used to bring certain fish or crustaceans into the UK when they’re being used for:
- processing
- use in the industrial manufacture of products
What goods are eligible

Eligible goods can be identified in chapters 3 and 16 of Authorised use: Eligible goods and authorised uses (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/authorised-use-eligible-goods-and-authorised-uses).

Any imported fish and crustaceans under authorised use must be processed for human consumption.

Industrial manufacturing

When the fish are for use in the industrial manufacture of products they must be:
- cooked or otherwise prepared or preserved, for example, fish fillets covered with batter or breadcrumbs, tuna fish which has had a marinade added or cooked fish
- boiled, steamed, grilled, fried, roasted or otherwise cooked
- prepared or preserved in vinegar, oil, fish marinades (fish prepared in wine, vinegar and so on with added spices or other ingredients), fish sausages or fish paste
- prepared or preserved, for example, finely homogenised fish, pasteurised or sterilised fish
- prepared following certain processes
Processing

Authorised use can be used for fish and crustaceans that are intended for one or more of these operations:
- dicing
- filleting
- production of flaps
- cutting of frozen blocks
- splitting of frozen interleaved fillet blocks
Fish and crustaceans intended solely for one or more of the following operations are not eligible:
- cleaning
- gutting
- heading
- cutting (other than the eligible operations mentioned)
- sampling
- sorting
- labelling
- packing
- chilling
- freezing
- deep-freezing
- thawing
- separation
- treatments carried out at a retail or catering establishment
Prawns

To qualify for authorised use, prawns under tariff heading 0306 need to be subjected to an industrial process, which would result in their classification under tariff heading 1605, for example, incorporation in pies, vol-au-vents or curries.

The manufacture of prawn sandwiches must be undertaken at a factory level for onward supply, and must be of the type sold in supermarkets, shops and restaurants. However, sandwich making undertaken at a retail or catering establishment is not eligible.

Tariff Quotas

Some fish are subject to tariff quotas. Quotas allow a limited amount of goods to be imported at a lower duty rate. Once the quota has been used up, the duty will revert to the out-of-quota rate, which may be the third-country duty or a preferential rate.

Quotas can be non-preferential (open to many countries) or preferential (restricted to a particular trading partner). Read UK Trade Tariff: duty suspensions and autonomous tariff quotas for fish products (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/duty-suspensions-and-tariff-quotas#atqsfor-fish-products) for a list of commodity codes subjected to quotas.

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 Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation 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 Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation 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
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
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.

A very small number of goods still require specific BIS licences when they are removed to an Other Member State (OMS). However, no export declaration will be required.

In these instances, the licence should be presented to the local control office no later than three days before the proposed date of shipment, unless alternative arrangements are agreed with that office. A photocopy of the export licence should accompany the goods to their destination.

CIRD48030 - Intangible assets: avoidance: specific rules
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-24)


Rules in CTA09/PART8 inhibiting avoidance in specific situations

The following specific rules in CTA09/PART8 will counter some attempts at exploiting the legislation:
- where an asset is transferred from a company to a ‘related party’ (or in the other direction) and the asset is within CTA09/PART 8 in the hands of the company the transfer is regarded as taking place at market value (CIRD45030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird45030)),
- where a company ceases to be resident in the UK, or where a non-resident ceases to use such an asset for its UK trade carried on through a permanent establishment in the UK, the asset is deemed to be disposed of at market value (CIRD47030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird47030)),
- the degrouping adjustment where (broadly) a company to which goodwill or an intangible asset has been transferred on a tax neutral basis, leaves a group (CIRD40500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird40500) onwards),
- tax neutral treatment under CTA09/PART 8 on a business reorganisation is subject to a test of commercial purpose (CIRD42000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird42000) onwards),
- attempts to convert existing fungible assets into assets within CTA09/PART 8 by sale and repurchase (CIRD11770 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird11770)),
- attempts to convert existing assets into assets within CTA09/PART 8 by sale and finance lease back (CIRD27060 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird27060)).
- attempts to create new assets from the value of companies existing assets (CIRD48280 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird48280)).
- attempts to bring goodwill within the regime by misinterpreting rules which determine the timing of creation of goodwill (CIRD48290 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird48290)).
- attempts to claim relief for goodwill in relation to an oil licence or an interest in an oil licence (CIRD48300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird48300)),
- attempts to avoid paying tax on the realisation of intangible fixed assets using accounting step-up schemes (see CIRD48320 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird48320) onwards),
- attempts to gain a tax advantage by granting a licence or other right in relation to an intangible fixed asset other than at market value (see CIRD48350 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird48350)).
