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 Epping Forest District Council 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 Epping Forest District Council 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
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
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.

RISE programme: lists of advisers and targeted schools
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-13)

Schools currently receiving targeted intervention through the regional improvement for standards and excellence (RISE) programme and the list of RISE advisers.

These lists are for:
- school leaders
- local authorities
- academy trusts
- governing bodies
- RISE advisers
- educational stakeholders
RISE advisers are educational experts with direct experience of improving schools. For targeted intervention, they engage with the eligible school and its responsible body to consider the school’s specific improvement needs.

32 schools joined the RISE (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regional-improvement-for-standards-and-excellence-rise) targeted intervention programme in February 2025. A further 188 schools joined the programme in the 2025 summer term and 170 schools joined in the 2025 autumn term.

Eligibility for RISE targeted intervention is identified through Ofsted inspections. Schools with consecutive below Good overall Ofsted judgements (or the equivalent sub-judgements) are considered ‘stuck schools’ that could benefit from targeted support.

Under the new Ofsted framework, ‘stuck schools’ also includes schools that have been judged as Needs attention in leadership and governance and their previous overall Ofsted judgement (or equivalent sub-judgements) was below Good. From September 2026, schools judged as Requiring significant improvement will be eligible.

Schools may gain or lose eligibility as they are inspected. The current list is based on published Ofsted management information as of 31 August 2025.

CG57701 - Unit trusts: umbrella schemes
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-03)


An authorised umbrella scheme is a unit trust scheme authorised by the Financial Services Authority which pools its assets into separate parts - commonly known as sub-funds. The rules of such a scheme permit its unit holders to ex-change their rights in one sub-fund for rights in another. For Capital Gains Tax purposes, each sub-fund is treated as an authorised unit trust in its own right and the umbrella scheme itself is treated as not being an authorised unit trust. TCGA 1992 applies (by virtue of TCGA92/S99(1)) in relation to an authorised unit trust as if the scheme were a company resident and ordinarily resident in the UK, and its unit holders were shareholders in that company. As far as an authorised umbrella scheme is concerned, the scheme itself is, in effect, ignored for the purposes of TCGA 1992: its unit holders are deemed to hold shares in the company corresponding to the sub-fund in which they hold rights for the time being, and not in a company corresponding to the whole of the umbrella scheme.If a unit holder switches out of one continuing sub-fund into another, there is a disposal for CGT purposes. This is on the basis that the unit holder disposes of an interest in one company and replaces it with an interest in another. But if one sub-fund disappears on being merged with another, rollover treatment under TCGA92/S136 (company reconstruction or amalgamation involving the issue of securities) may be available. See CG52700+ for instructions on section 136. An article in Tax Bulletin 28 (https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20101006154802mp_/http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/bulletins/tb28.htm) published in April 1997 sets out the general background and legislative history to this area.

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 Synalogik Innovative Solutions Limited 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 Synalogik Innovative Solutions Limited 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 Spouses And Partners
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.
Prior Export Equivalence (PEE)
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-30)

Information on Prior Export Equivalence.

Prior Export Equivalence (PEE) applies where free circulation goods equivalent to those identified in the SP3 (https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/print-and-post/form/SpecPersTax_C/1.0/BRSP3/sp3.xdp)[SM1] (#_msocom_1) are exported before non-UK goods are entered to inward processing.

The quantity of authorised equivalent goods, contained within the exported product determines the authorisation holders ‘duty credit’.

The duty credit is offset when the same quantity of non-UK goods is subsequently entered to IP within the 6-month time limit.

Goods exported under PEE prior export equivalence must be exported under customs control. This provides for HMRC to monitor exports using equivalence and the opportunity to examine or take samples to verify the equivalence criteria are met.

The replacement non-UK goods will be imported from a third country. However, replacement goods can also be taken from customs warehousing, or another IP authorisation holder.

Compliance: Duplication of Penalties

Where a Reporting Financial Institution may be liable to more than one penalty for failing to keep records, failing to carry out due diligence procedures and reporting incorrect or incomplete information under IEIM405113 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-exchange-of-information/ieim405113), IEIM405115 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-exchange-of-information/ieim405115) and IEIM405116 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-exchange-of-information/ieim405116), the Reporting Financial Institution will not receive more than one penalty for the same act or omission. Rather, they will be subject to a penalty which is considered by HMRC to be appropriate in the circumstances.
CG65670 - Private residence relief: dependent relative: at 5 April 1988: conditions
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-17)


For disposals on or after 6 April 1988, relief is available if

· the dwelling-house was acquired before 6 April 1988, and

· at some time since its acquisition and before 6 April 1988 it was occupied as the sole residence of a dependent relative, and

· the other conditions for relief are satisfied.

Where the gain on a disposal qualifies for this transitional relief the following periods will qualify:

· any period before 6 April 1988 in which the dwelling-house was the sole residence of a dependent relative;

· any period after 5 April 1988 in which the dwelling-house was the sole residence of the dependent relative who occupied it on that date;

· the final period of ownership allowed by s223(2) TCGA92, see CG64985 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg64985)+.

A period of occupation as the sole residence of a dependent relative which begins on or after 6 April 1988 does not qualify.

This limitation to dependent relative relief was introduced in the 1988 Finance Act and, in effect, closes the class of qualifying properties at 5 April 1988. To have simply abolished the relief at that time would have been unfair to any person who had incurred the expense of provided a dwelling-house to a dependent relative in the expectation that relief would be due. Relief will continue to be due to anyone who had provided a dwelling-house to a dependent relative before 6 April 1988 in respect of that dwelling-house as long as it is occupied by that dependent relative. So to that extent, dependent relative relief can still arise after 6 April 1988.

But no new houses can qualify for the relief in respect of the occupation by a dependent relative after 6 April 1988. Houses which already qualify because of occupation by a dependent relative before 6 April 1988 cannot qualify for a period after that date as a result of occupation by a different dependent relative.

Example

E acquired a dwelling-house in April 1978 and sold it in April 1992 realising a gain of £60,000 before private residence relief. The house was let from April 1978 to March 1981 and then occupied rent free and without any consideration as the sole residence of

· E’s widowed mother from April 1981 to March 1989 when she died, and

· E’s widowed mother-in-law from May 1989 to April 1992 when the house was sold.

The private residence relief due in accordance with s226 TCGA92 is computed as follows:

· in view of s223(7) TCGA92 (see CG64940 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg64940)) the period of ownership is 31 March 1982 - March 1992 = 120 months

· period of sole residence of E’s widowed mother is 31 March 1982 - March 1989 = 84 months

· final period allowed by s223(2) TCGA92 at the time of disposal = 36 months (see CG64985 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg64985)+)

The relief due is:

((84 + 36)/120) x £60,000 = £60,000

The gain arising is wholly relieved.
