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 Civvy St Tech 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 Civvy St Tech 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
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.

DWP CCTV and body worn camera privacy notice
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-06)

This privacy notice explains how DWP uses CCTV and body worn cameras and how you can request footage of yourself.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) uses CCTV and body worn cameras (BWCs) for the security of staff, visitors, contractors, information and equipment.

Internal cameras are used to provide security in DWP buildings.

External cameras are used to improve the protection and security of buildings, staff, and public 24 hours a day.

We may also use footage to help prevent and detect crime.

What information we collect

We may capture:
- images of individuals and activities
- audio recordings (using BWCs)
- the location and time of the recordings
This may include personal data and, in some cases, sensitive information depending on the context of the recording.

How long we keep footage

Most CCTV footage is deleted 30 days after it’s recorded.

We can only keep footage for longer than 30 days for specific reasons, for example:
- to help DWP or the police during an investigation
- when someone has asked us to restrict processing of their data
- to help with a legal case
- to help in a matter of public interest
When the information is no longer required it will be securely deleted.

How footage is stored and accessed

Footage is stored securely and protected against unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure.

Only authorised members of staff can access footage.

In certain circumstances, DWP may share footage with the police or other organisations where it is necessary, lawful and in the public interest, to do so.

How to request footage of yourself

You have the right to:
- request footage of yourself captured by CCTV or BWCs
- request correction or deletion of inaccurate data
- object to processing in certain circumstances
Find out how to request your personal information from DWP (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/request-your-personal-information-from-the-department-for-work-and-pensions).

There is more information about your rights in DWP’s personal information charter (http://www.gov.uk/dwp/personal-information-charter).

Or you can write to:

Right of Access Requests Mail Handling Site A Wolverhampton WV98 2EF

The legal basis for processing your data

The processing of personal data using CCTV and BWCs is carried out under the UK General Data Protection Regulation, Article 6-1(e) (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

This states that the processing is necessary to perform a task in the public interest or for official functions, and the task or function is lawful.

Product Safety Report for Power 12 Inch Mini Battery Electric Chainsaw (2502-0117)
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-19)

Product Safety Report for Power 12 Inch Mini Battery Electric Chainsaw presenting a serious risk of electric shock.

Summary

Product: Power 12 Inch Mini Battery Electric Chainsaw

Hazard: The product presents a serious risk of electric shock due to poor quality internal soldering and clearance distances within the charger.

Corrective action: The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.

Product information

Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock due to poor quality internal soldering and inadequate creepage and clearance distances within the charger. The plug does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 because the distance from the live pin to the outside edge is too small. The product also presents an injury risk as there is no manually activated chain brake. If the product was to ‘kick back’ during use, the user may lose control of the chainsaw, leading to injuries.

The products do not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Corrective action

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.

ONSCG9200 - Reviews and appeals: VAT appealable decisions
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-03)


Section 83(1) of the VAT Act 1994 lists a number of appealable matters.

Some written decisions made by clearance teams will fall within S83(1) (b) VATA 1994. This subsection gives a right of appeal against decisions about
- the VAT chargeable on the supply of any goods or services
- on the acquisition of goods from another EC country, or
- subject to Section 84(9) VATA 1994, on the importation of goods from a place outside the EC.
Generally, there can’t be an appealable decisionunder s83(1)(b) VATA 1994 before a supply is made(see ARTG3041 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/appeals-reviews-and-tribunals-guidance/artg3041)).

So if your decision is that a particular transaction will carry VAT at the standard rate (for example), then it will be appealable if the supply in question has been made. This is not the only decision that might be appealable, and decision makers should review the other categories within section 83 in deciding whether they have made an ‘appealable decision’. If you need more detailed advice on technical aspects of appeals contact the the technical specialist team following the guidance on the Technical specialist teams SharePoint page. Guidance on reviews and appeals can also be found in Appeals reviews and tribunals guidance .

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 Associated Telecom Solutions 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 Associated Telecom Solutions 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

Unique discounted packages for mobile, landline and broadband for Forces personnel and their families

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.

Subcontracting post-16 education and training for the first time
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-04)

How to seek written approval when subcontracting for the first time.

This guidance is for lead providers of post-16 education and training. These are training providers that have a contract or agreement to deliver education and training with the Department for Education (DfE).

You must get approval in writing before awarding a contract to a subcontractor, if you have not previously subcontracted DfE funded provision.

The guidance outlines the process which you need to go through and information you need to provide.
TTM07330 - The ring fence: Transfer pricing
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


Duty to notify connected parties

TTM07300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm07300) explains that the normal transfer pricing rules in TIOPA10/PART4 also apply to transactions between UK persons where one of those persons is a tonnage tax company, and the relevant control and other conditions are met.

This means that an UK company outside tonnage tax or an individual in the UK may have to make a transfer pricing adjustment in its self-assessment. They will only know that they have to do so if they know that the connected company they are dealing with is within tonnage tax.

FA00/SCH22/PARA60 therefore imposes a duty on a tonnage tax company to give notice that it is a tonnage tax company to all parties that might be affected by the transfer pricing rules in PARA58. Broadly speaking, this means it should notify connected parties taxable in the UK with whom it has business dealings.

Form of notice

The notice must:
- state that the company has become a tonnage tax company, or
- an election has been made under as a result of which the company will become a tonnage tax company, and
- provide information as to the possible application of the provisions of TIOPA10/PART4 in relation to transactions between the company and that person.
Time limit

The company must give notice to every person whose tax liability may be affected within 90 days of:
- making a tonnage tax election, or
- the occurrence of any other event, as a result of which a company enters, or is taken to have entered, tonnage tax.
A company may enter tonnage tax without itself making an election, for example as a result of the application of the rules dealing with mergers, see TTM12300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm12300).

Failure to give notice

The notice will help recipients to complete their tax returns, as they will then be aware that they have to make adjustments to account for non arm's length transfer pricing.There is no sanction within the Taxes Acts if a tonnage tax company fails to notify all relevant parties, as this would be difficult to administer. However, if a tonnage tax company fails to issue such a notice, it may be open to any disadvantaged party to take its own legal action in relation to such failure.
