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 Newcastle Falcons 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;

CH81130 - Penalties for Inaccuracies: Types of inaccuracy: Inaccuracy despite taking reasonable care
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-05)


You must check the date from which these rules apply for the tax or duty you are dealing with. See CH81011 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch81011)for full details.Where an inaccuracy in a document has been made despite the person having taken reasonable care to get things right, no penalty will be due. Examples of when a penalty would not be due include
- a view of a situation that a person reasonably believes is correct which is subsequently not upheld
- an arithmetical or transposition inaccuracy that is not so large either in absolute terms or relative to overall liability, as to produce an obviously odd result or be picked up by a quality check
- following advice from HMRC that later proves to be wrong, provided that all the details and circumstances were given when the advice was sought
- acting on advice from a competent adviser which proves to be wrong despite the fact that the adviser was given a full set of accurate facts, see CH84530 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch84530)
- accepting and using information from another person where it is not possible to check that the information is accurate and complete. However, see CH81125 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch81125).
You should treat a person as taking reasonable care if
- arrangements or systems (such as comprehensive internal accounting systems and controls with specific reference to tax sensitive areas) exist that, if followed, could reasonably be expected to produce an accurate basis for the calculation of tax due by the internal tax department, or external agent, and
- despite the above, inaccuracies arise in processing or coding items through the person’s accounting system which result in a mis-statement of tax liability, and
- the effect of the inaccuracies is not significant in relation to the person’s overall tax liability for the relevant tax period.
For practical examples of an inaccuracy despite taking reasonable care, see CH81131 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch81131).

Public views on using community venues for testing in future pandemics
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-22)

Qualitative research exploring public acceptability of using institutions and community venues to manage testing during future pandemics.

This report details findings from qualitative research with members of the public in England, exploring the extent of public acceptability for using institutions (such as workplaces, schools and other community venues) to manage testing during future pandemics.

The study provides insight into how acceptability might vary depending on the type of venue being used, the severity and rate of transmission of the illness (a respiratory infection), and the intrusiveness of the testing interventions being implemented by the venues.

It identifies the factors that are important for maximising public acceptability, and provides learnings for the development of future policy and communications relating to the use of institutions and community venues to manage pandemic testing.

MTT30100 - Calculating top-up amounts: De minimis election
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


Under certain circumstances where a group has limited presence in a territory, the group may elect that the total top-up amount for a territory for a period to be treated as nil.

This is generally known as the de minimis election. It is set out in section 199 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Conditions

A group can make a de minimis election for a period if, over the qualifying periods:
- the average revenue of the relevant members in a territory is less than 10 million euros, and
- the average adjusted profits of those members is less than 1 million euros.
If a qualifying period is other than 365 days, the averages of the adjusted profits and revenue are adjusted proportionally (365 divided by the number of days in the period).

Relevant members

A member is a relevant member if it is either :
- a standard member, or
- a minority owned member.
Average revenue

The average revenue is:
- the aggregate revenue of the relevant members in each qualifying period,
divided by
- the number of qualifying periods.
Average adjusted profits

The average adjusted profits is:
- the aggregate adjusted profits of the members for each qualifying accounting period,
divided by
- the number of qualifying periods.
Qualifying periods

Normally, there are three qualifying periods:
- the period for which the election is made, and
- the two prior periods.
However, one of those prior periods will not be a qualifying period if, in that period:
- none of the members in the territory had revenue, and
- none of the members made a loss.
This ensures that the figures for average revenue and adjusted profit are not lowered as a result of the group being entirely inactive in a territory in one of the two prior periods.

Stateless members

A member that is not located in any territory for MTT purposes is located in a nominal territory.

A de minimis election cannot be made in respect of such a nominal territory.

Making the election

A de minimis election is an annual election and is made in respect of a territory. See MTT52200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt52200)for guidance on making an election.

Amendment in Finance Act 2025

This section was amended by FA25. This guidance page reflects the current version of the legislation. Consult FA25 for legislation applicable to prior periods if the retrospection election does not apply (see MTT09490 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt09490)).
PAYE56010 - Employer returns: NICs employment allowance: claiming the employment allowance
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


Employers can claim the Employment Allowance as part of the normal RTI payroll process using the Employer Payment Summary (EPS) within their software package or within Basic PAYE Tools as a free HMRC download. Employers exempt from filing online can claim by using a paper EPS (Form RT5). The EPS will include a yes or no ‘tick box’ which employers will complete to claim.

After the employer has decided they are eligible for the Employment Allowance and selected ‘Yes’ on the EPS to claim the allowance, their Full Payment Submission (FPS) will be completed and submitted as normal. The allowance will then be offset within their software package or Basic PAYE Tools against payments of employer Class 1 NICs when they are due to be paid, until the full Employment Allowance is used up or the tax year ends (whichever is sooner).

From 6 April 2020 employers only needed to claim the Employment Allowance once and this would automatically apply for the tax year claimed in and subsequent tax years. From 6 April 2020 the Employment Allowance did not continue into subsequent tax years. Employers had to make a claim to Employment Allowance each tax year.

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 Independence Homes 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;

Recruitment campaign shortlisted for national honour
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-13)

CNC’s Relocate to Dounreay recruitment campaign, showcasing life in Caithness, is shortlisted for the RAD Awards’ Creative Idea category.

The Civil Nuclear Constabulary’s (CNC) Relocate to Dounreay campaign has been shortlisted for a national award.

Created in partnership with branding specialists Penna, the recruitment campaign has been named a finalist in the Creative Idea category at the RAD Awards, alongside entries from Nando’s, Asda, Ford, and Aegon.

Celebrating excellence in employer branding and marketing, the RAD Awards recognise innovation, authenticity, and impact. Winners will be announced at an awards evening hosted in London in January.

At the heart of the campaign was a simple but powerful idea: highlight the lifestyle that comes with being a CNC officer at Dounreay. Aimed at people who thrive in the outdoors, the campaign brought to life the unique environment of Caithness, from its mountains and beaches to the Northern Lights, running and cycling routes.

To ensure authenticity, Dounreay officers became recruitment brand ambassadors for the campaign, sharing a glimpse into their lives beyond the uniform. Officers were photographed taking part in their favourite pastimes, offering a genuine insight into what it means to live and work in Caithness.

Dani Whiting, Senior Manager for Talent Acquisition, said: “Being shortlisted for an industry-leading award alongside international brands is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the commitment and dedication of the recruitment team in delivering an innovative and high-quality campaign to support the Dounreay OPU recruitment strategy.

“This recognition reflects the collaboration, passion, and authenticity that went into delivering a campaign that truly represents life at Dounreay. I’d like to extend my thanks to the officers who took part, and to Emma Lindsay for her dedication and support throughout the project.”
