ECSH43030 - Verifying if a business is registered in the United Kingdom
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-25)


When considering if a business should be registered for anti-money laundering (AML) supervision in the United Kingdom (UK), it is important to understand where the responsibility for the day-to-day management of the relevant activity is carried out as per regulation 9 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/692/regulation/9) of The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017). It is not relevant where the actual work of a business is being carried out, where the owners live, or where the customers are based. For more information see ECSH43000 - Carrying out business in the United Kingdom (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh43000).

A business carrying out relevant activity in the course of business in the UK must be registered for AML supervision by one of the UK AML supervisors. For more information see ECSH42525 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh42525)- By way of business.

You should check HMRC systems and the Companies House website for the most up-to-date address for the business. A list of relevant HMRC systems is available in ECSH32730 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh32730) - Checking Systems.

If it is clear that a business is based in the UK and the day-to-day management of the business is based in the UK, you can carry on with the case as usual as the business is in scope of MLR 2017.

If the business is not being operated from the UK, and there is no UK footprint at all the business is out of scope of the MLR 2017, even if there are UK customers.

If it is unclear where the business is based and where the day-to-day management of the business takes place, then you should send a further information letter to gather more information which will allow you to make a decision if the business is out of scope of the MLR 2017. Whilst these enquiries are ongoing, compliance officers should continue with their intervention.

High Street Rental Auctions: Non-statutory guidance
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-05)

This guidance outlines the full application of HSRA powers and is for use by local authorities and other interested parties.

This guidance provides a comprehensive overview of how to apply High Street Rental Auctions (HSRAs), a new power introduced under the Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/55/enacted). It aims to explain High Street Rental Auctions in detail from start to finish and should be used to guide all interested parties through the process. The guidance also includes downloadable annexes that local authorities and other parties are advised to edit and use throughout the process.

The guidance and annexes are intended to be used by local authorities concerned about vacant commercial premises in their area, commercial landlords and their lenders, businesses and community groups seeking a commercial space and commercial agents who may be responsible for running a High Street Rental Auction on behalf of a local authority.

The goal of High Street Rental Auctions is to reduce high street vacancies, boost local economies, and empower communities to revitalise their areas. The guidance is a key component to help affected parties mitigate the negative impacts of prolonged vacancies on high streets.

ERSM70440 - Securities acquired for less than market value: non-residents (up to 5 April 2015)
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


Residence

Employees may be not resident in the UK but nevertheless be chargeable to tax under ITEPA03/S27 in Chapter 5 Part 2 of ITEPA, where the general earnings are:
- in respect of duties performed in the UK, or
- from overseas Crown employment subject to UK tax.
Their non-resident status will not be sufficient to ensure that there is no charge to tax on the exercise of an option or subsequent sale of shares acquired.

Chapter 5 Part 7 of ITEPA (Securities Options) does not apply where general earnings were not within sections 15, 22 or 26 at the time the employee acquired the securities option (ITEPA03/S474 (1)).

However, the residence rules for Chapter 3C are in ITEPA03/S421E (2) and are wider than this. Chapter 3C will apply where general earnings would have fallen within the scope of Chapter 5 of Part 2 ITEPA03, which includes ITEPA03/S27.

See ERSM70425 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-related-securities/ersm70425) where there are UK duties before becoming resident in UK.

Example

Enrico accepts a short-term employment with UK company, We'reInTrouble Ltd from 1 November 2011 to 30 June 2012. The terms of employment are a salary of £250,000 plus options granted on 1 November to be exercisable any time from 1 July 2012 to 31 October 2012.

He returns to employment in his own country when his contract ends. He never becomes either resident or ordinarily resident. Having done an excellent job of turning the company round he is able to exercise his options in August 2012, making a gain of £50,000.

As Enrico had general earnings from UK employment during 2012/13, there is a charge to tax under Chapter 3C on the gain made when the relevant shares were acquired at undervalue via the option.

For guidance on the effect of residence on charges under Part 7 generally, including Chapter 3C, from 6 April 2015 onwards, see ERSM162000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-related-securities/ersm162000).

Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)


Exclusion procedure

Exclusion of singleton company

If HMRC decides to exercise the power to exclude a singleton company, the responsible officer should give notice in writing to the company, specifying the date from which it is excluded from tonnage tax. The specified date must not be earlier than the beginning of the accounting period that follows the second accounting period in which the limit is exceeded.

The effect of the notice is that the tonnage tax election ceases to be in force from that date. If that date is not already the beginning of an accounting period a new accounting period will commence at that time (FA00/SCH22/PARA52).

See TTM14100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm14100) for effects of exiting regime. Exit charges will not apply, unless the exit was for reasons relating wholly or mainly to tax, see TTM14120 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm14120).

Exclusion of a group

If HMRC decides to exercise the power to exclude a group, the responsible officer should give notice in writing to the representative company, specifying the date from which all the qualifying companies in the group are excluded from tonnage tax.The specified date must not be earlier than the beginning of the accounting period, for any one tonnage tax company (the ‘relevant company’) in the group, that follows the second accounting period in which the group limit is exceeded.

Where there is no representative company the notice should be sent to the ‘relevant company’.

The effect of the notice is that the tonnage tax election ceases to be in force from that date. If that date is not already the beginning of an accounting period for previously qualifying members of the tonnage tax group a new accounting period will commence at that time for each affected company, see TTM07010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm07010).See TTM14100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm14100) for effects of exiting regime.

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.

EIM35003 - Travelling expenses: Non-resident and qualifying new resident employees working in the United Kingdom: expenses that may be deducted: example
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-11)


An employee who is resident in France is sent by his employer to work in the United Kingdom for 6 months. He has not worked previously in the United Kingdom. The employer pays the travel expenses of the employee and his wife and pays for their accommodation and subsistence while they are in the United Kingdom.

Some of the expenses met by the employer are deductible under section 338 ITEPA 2003, some are deductible under sections 373 to 375 ITEPA 2003 and some are not deductible at all.

The cost of the employee's travel to and from France is deductible under section 338 because the United Kingdom is a temporary workplace, see EIM32065 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim32065). If it were not deductible under that section it would be deductible under section 373, see EIM35030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim35030).

The cost of the employee's wife's travel to and from France is not deductible under section 338, see EIM31980 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim31980). It is deductible under section 374, see EIM35050 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim35050).

The cost of the employee's accommodation and subsistence is deductible under section 338, see EIM31815 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim31815). If it were not deductible under that section it would not be deductible under section 373, see EIM35100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim35100).

The cost of the employee's wife's accommodation, if separate from the employee, or subsistence is not deductible under section 338 (see EIM31980 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim31980)) and nor is it deductible under section 374, see EIM35100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim35100).

Mogadishu: city report
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-15)

This report examines Mogadishu’s urban development challenges through 6 studies.

Abstract

Mogadishu, the capital and largest city of Somalia, has an estimated population of about 2 million and faces numerous challenges. This report explores the intersections of political settlements, city systems and 4 key domains: land and connectivity, informal settlements, safety and security, and youth capability development. The report identifies crosscutting themes that hinder development and suggests potential reforms. Overall, it provides an in-depth understanding of Mogadishu’s complex issues and proposes interventions for future urban development.

This paper is part of the African Cities Research Consortium (ACRC) programme.

Civil Society Covenant: Home Office Knife Crime Coalition
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-16)

A partnership based approach to reducing knife crime.

Launched by the Prime Minister in September 2024, the Coalition to Tackle Knife Crime is a partnership of individuals with lived experience, civil society, and campaign groups, adopting a partnership approach with government to halve knife crime within a decade.

The collaboration brings deep understanding of interventions that can help to prevent knife crime, bringing these perspectives into policy and programme creation to tackle the issue.

The Home Office is also working with Coalition partners to provide a platform for youth voice and their perspectives on the core issues around knife crime, increasing public safety and supporting those who need it most, ensuring young people’s lived experiences contribute to shaping government policy.

A key example of the Coalition working in partnership with government is the valuable contribution it made to inform the policy development and design of the extended surrender arrangements for ninja swords, knives and other weapons.

With Coalition member FazAmnesty and Words 4 Weapons, the government are delivering extended weapon surrender arrangements throughout July 2025. FazAmnesty is operating a mobile surrender van in Greater London, West Midlands, and Greater Manchester, while Words 4 Weapons are providing anonymous surrender bins in these areas for knives and other weapons, including ninja swords.

These initiatives provide safe options for young people to surrender dangerous weapons, making our streets safer and removing more weapons from communities.

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 University Hospitals Dorset 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 University Hospitals Dorset 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
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Recognising military skills and qualifications in our recruitment and selection process

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.
Road fuel quarterly update report: March 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-31)

Update on our monitoring of fuel prices, retail spreads and margins.

This document provides an update on the Competition and Markets Authority’s monitoring of road fuel prices, retail spreads and margins. It includes:

average pump prices and their components, including retail spread, from the end of October 2024 to the end of February 2025

fuel margins for the supermarket and other fuel retailers, from January to December 2024

This is the first quarterly update report published under our new statutory monitoring function. Our powers to fulfil this function were conferred in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, and commenced in January 2025.

Before commencement, we published guidance on how we’ll exercise our information-gathering powers (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/road-fuel-monitoring-guidance) when we monitor competition in connection with road fuel in the UK. Information we gather from retailers using our new powers will inform our next monitoring report, which we expect to publish in June. This quarterly report therefore relies on data that fuel retailers have provided voluntarily.

Planning Inspectorate’s Business Plan for 2025-2026 published
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

The 2025/26 Business Plan sets out the priorities we believe are critical to addressing the main challenges of the day

The Planning Inspectorate has today published its Business Plan for 2025/26 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/planning-inspectorate-business-plan-202526) setting out our priorities and ambitions for the year.

It details our focus on the delivery of excellent services to benefit the whole planning system and provides a practical framework as we progress the second year of our strategic plan (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-planning-inspectorate-strategic-plan-2024-27).

We are committed to delivering high-quality, timely decisions across all our casework areas - from national infrastructure projects to planning appeals and local plan examinations.

This year we’re excited to be accelerating progress through a number of initiatives including:

introducing a simplified appeals process (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/a-faster-more-efficient-planning-appeals-process) for the majority of appeals following the Minister’s decision to amend regulations

progressing trials of more concise decision writing to further improve timeliness and consistency of decisions

concluding our significant recruitment campaign to ensure we have the colleagues we need to deliver on our ambitious plans.

As set out in our 2024/25 Annual Report (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/planning-inspectorate-annual-report-and-accounts-202425) we have already made significant progress in reducing our overall caseload and making quicker decisions. We will be doing even more this year to improve our performance including expanding our digital services and making the appeals process quicker and easier to navigate whilst remaining impartial, fair and open.

We fully recognise the challenges ahead. The government has placed planning at the heart of its Plan for Change. Our Business Plan gives us the practical direction to meet these challenges, reform our services and work together with our stakeholders to create a more effective and efficient planning system.
