The limits of the exemption for the transferor (regardless of whether the transfer is to both parties to the marriage or only one) are
- £5,000 if they are a parent of one party to the marriage or civil partnership,
- £2,500 if they are either a remoter ancestor than a parent of a party to the marriage or civil partnership, or are one of the parties to the intended marriage or civil partnership,
- £1,000 in any other case.
If the value transferred by the gift is more than the amount of the available exemption, it is an exempt transfer up to the amount of the available exemption, and the excess is chargeable.

The exemption can apply to:

COM120060 - Repayments / reallocations: overpayments: general: repayment and reallocation automatic output
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-02)


Whenever COTAX makes a repayment to debit or credit card, or by Bacs or payable order, it produces output telling the company what has happened.

However, when a reallocation is made, whether between Accounting Period (AP) or to another company, COTAX does not issue any output.

When COTAX makes repayment to debit or credit card, a Bacs repayment or issues a payable order, separate notifications are sent to each of the following.
- the payee, that is the company or nominee
- the company, if repayment is made to a nominee
- the company agent if an agent is acting and the 64-8 signal has been set
The notification provides a simple computation of the repayment, except when sent to a nominee. For an automatic repayment, it includes details of any automatic reallocation made at the same time.

COTAX issues the notification at the same time as the debit or credit card or Bacs system accepts the credit.

Where the repayment is made by payable order, the notification is attached to the payable order.

Repayment notifications carry the details of the company’s responsible office and so appear to have been initiated in the responsible office. This happens whether the repayment is created by the operator using an online function, automatically by COTAX, or was initiated by the HMRC Payments.

The notification indicates that a repayment of a specific amount is provisional if you have set the relevant signal in function DIRR (Direct Repayment).

See:
- COM120011 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com120011) for a list of functions to use in a particular situation

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 Cotswold Style 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 Cotswold Style 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:

We also pledge the following:

Dame Vera Baird DBE KC appointed as Interim Chair of the CCRC
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-02)

Dame Vera Baird DBE KC has been appointed as the Interim Chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC).

His Majesty the King, on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, has approved the appointment of Dame Vera Baird DBE KC as the Interim Chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC). The appointment will commence on 9 June 2025 and will end on 8 December 2026. The CCRC Chair role has been vacant since Helen Pitcher’s resignation on 14 January 2025.

The Lord Chancellor has requested that Dame Vera carry out a thorough review of the operation of the CCRC, to increase public confidence in the organisation and the important work it undertakes investigating potential miscarriages of justice.

In order to bring stability to the organisation at this crucial time it was important to ensure that the post holder was an exceptional individual with sound knowledge and experience of examining the criminal justice system and a strong track record of leadership.

The CCRC

The CCRC was established by the Criminal Appeal Act 1995 and commenced operation in 1997. The CCRC considers - on application - cases in England, Wales and Northern Ireland where a miscarriage of justice is alleged or suspected. The CCRC decides if there is any new evidence or new argument which raises a real possibility that an appeal court would quash a conviction or reduce a sentence.

The appointment of the CCRC Chair is regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments and this appointment complies with the Cabinet Office Governance Code on Public Appointments.

Appointments of CCRC Commissioners are made by His Majesty the King on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, who receives advice from the Lord Chancellor.

Use this service to estimate the cost of statutory biodiversity credits for a development.

We need to know whether your statutory biodiversity credit type is Area, Hedgerow or Watercourse. All habitats fit into one of these groups and in each of them, there are credit tiers. There are five credit tiers in Area, A1 to A5, one in Hedgerow, H and one in Watercourse, W.

The number of statutory credits is worked out from the information you inputted into the statutory biodiversity metric calculation tool. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide.

This service gives an estimate only.

You will need to discuss your potential credit requirements with the local planning authority.

You can buy statutory biodiversity credits (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/buy-statutory-biodiversity-credits) after you get an estimate.

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 Stonewall Security 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 Stonewall Security 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
- Discounts
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.
