How we protected the UK and space in February 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-17)

This report was issued in March 2025 and covers the time period 1 February 2025 to 28 February 2025 inclusive.

February was a highly active month which saw uncontrolled re-entry alerts at their highest level since our records began. All NSpOC warning and protection services functioned as expected throughout the period.

Re-entry Analysis

February has seen an increase in the number of objects re-entering Earth’s atmosphere when compared to the previous month.

Of the 129 objects monitored for re-entry this month, 119 were satellites, 5 rocket bodies and 5 were classified as unknown objects, likely to be either a rocket body or a satellite

In-Space Collision Avoidance

Collision risks to UK-licenced satellites declined by 5% in January, but remained above the 12- month rolling average of 2,376.

Number of Objects in Space

There was an increase to the in-orbit population during January, with 380 newly catalogued objects added to the US Satellite Catalogue. 110 newly catalogued objects were attributed to the SpaceX Transporter-12 mission, ranging from Earth imaging satellites to re-entry vehicles as well as a ‘selfie’ satellite.

Chart showing number registered space objects by month. March: 28,478, April: 28,752, May: 28,850, June: 28,931, July: 28,917, August: 29,297, September: 29,678, October: 29,665, November: 29,826, December: 29,921, January: 29,985, February: 30,163

Fragmentation Analysis

There were no new on-orbit fragmentations during February.

Space weather

Space weather was mostly minor to moderate throughout February, with some periods of increased activity. Key events this period included:

Early – Mid February:

Frequent minor to moderate radio blackouts caused limited HF communication outages on the sunlit side of Earth. Isolated minor geomagnetic storms were triggered by fast solar winds but had limited impacts. Active high-energy electron fluence may have caused satellite charging.

23 February:

A Strong (R3) radio blackout affected a wide area on the sunlit side, with possible minor disruptions to satellite navigation systems.

25 February:

A Minor (S1) radiation storm occurred, potentially causing occasional Single Event Upsets (SEUs).

Late February:

Minor to moderate geomagnetic storms were recorded, likely causing minor satellite orientation issues.

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 MAROTT GRAPHIC SERVICES (UK) 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;

Investigation into Google’s ‘Privacy Sandbox’ browser changes
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-17)

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) consulted on a proposal to release the Commitments previously accepted by the CMA from Google in relation to Google’s Privacy Sandbox.

The CMA had competition concerns regarding Google’s Privacy Sandbox proposals and previously accepted Commitments offered by Google (https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/investigation-into-googles-privacy-sandbox-browser-changes) to address these. Google has since announced that it no longer plans to block third-party cookies in general browsing in Chrome, or prompt users to decide if they want to do this.

The CMA now believes the Commitments are no longer necessary and so is consulting before taking a decision on whether to release them.

VATF36443 - What to consider prior to determining whether to use an intervention: matters to consider when looking at particular types of taxable person or activity: creative industries tax reliefs: interventions to consider: refusing input tax
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-15)


Insufficient evidence of receipt of a taxable supply

This could arise where the invoice looks, on face value, to be a valid VAT invoice.

Further guidance can be found at VATF42400 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-fraud/vatf42400).

Invalid invoice

As explained in VATF36433 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-fraud/vatf36433) in order to make a claim for input tax the taxable person must hold a valid VAT invoice. If they do not, HMRC has the discretion whether or not to allow recovery of the input tax.

If a taxable person does not hold a valid VAT invoice then he should (a) be asked to obtain one from his supplier, or (b) asked for additional evidence to show that the supply was received in the course and for the furtherance of the business. The additional evidence should allow you to establish an audit trail from payment through to the supply itself and then to the onward supply. It should also provide clear evidence of the nature of the supply and the taxable person who made the supply.

Further guidance can be found at VATF42500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-fraud/vatf42500).

Top of page (#Top)

Non payment for the supply

If a taxable person has not paid his supplier then he loses his entitlement to input tax credit after six months from the date of the supply.

Further guidance can be found at VATF42600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-fraud/vatf42600) and VBDR5000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-bad-debt-relief/vbdr5000).

Top of page (#Top)

The Kittel principle

Where it is ascertained, having regard to objective factors, that the supply is to a taxable person who knew or should have known that, by his purchase, he was participating in a transaction connected with fraudulent evasion of VAT, that taxable person loses his entitlement to the right to deduct. This is known as ‘the Kittel principle'.

CG26250 - Arrival in and departure from UK: temporary non-residence: held-over gains - year of departure 2012-13 or earlier
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-11)


TCGA92/S10A(4)

Sometimes a gain on disposal of an asset (the first asset) is ‘held over’ and not charged until another asset is disposed of. Where this happens under one of the provisions listed below then the gains which eventually accrue when the other asset is disposed of are not excluded from the scope of TCGA92/S10A by subsection (3) of that section, where subsection (3) would otherwise apply because the other asset was within its scope (see CG26230 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg26230)and CG26240 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg26240)). Note that for subsection (3) to be disapplied in this way, the first asset must not be within its scope.

Where TCGA92/S10A(4) applies, a held-over gain which accrues on a disposal in an intervening year when a taxpayer is not UK resident will be treated as accruing in the year of return to the UK, even if the asset which is disposed of was acquired after the taxpayer became non-resident, see CG26111 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg26111).

The Capital Gains Tax ‘hold-over’ provisions to which this subsection refers are:
- TCGA92/S116(10) or TCGA92/S116(11) (where the new asset is a qualifying corporate bond), see CG53709 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg53709)+.
- TCGA92/S134 (compensation stock), see CG55045 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg55045)+.
- TCGA92/S154(2) or (4) (depreciating assets), see CG60285 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg60285).
Example

Mr Priestley goes to live in France for political reasons. As a result, he is not resident in the UK for the next three full years of assessment. During the first of those years he sells his shares in Priestley Chemicals Ltd and receives qualifying corporate bonds issued by the purchaser, Davy Plc. In the following year he redeems the qualifying corporate bonds and receives cash.

Although he has actually disposed of his shares, TCGA92/S116(10) applies and so he is treated for the purposes of TCGA 1992 as if he had not done so. Instead, a gain is computed as if he had disposed of the shares and that gain is ‘held over’ or ‘frozen’ until he disposes of the qualifying corporate bonds. Without the special provision at TCGA92/S10A(4) the gain which accrued when the qualifying corporate bonds were disposed of would not be within the scope of section 10A because they are assets both acquired and disposed of whilst Mr Priestley was not UK resident. Note that the first asset, the shares, is not within the scope of subsection (3) because it was acquired before Mr Priestley left the UK: it is appropriate to bring the gain latent in those shares within the potential scope of section 10A even though the gain did not arise until some other asset was disposed of.

Source: gov.uk (2025-11-18)

Registration and filing obligations of an overseas company that opens an establishment in the UK.

This guide explains:
- how to register an overseas company that opens an establishment in the UK
- disclosure obligations subsequent to such a registration
- documents you must send to Companies House
- important rules on accounting requirements, company names and trading disclosures
It will be helpful if you’re:
- an overseas company thinking of opening a UK establishment

The Prime Minister hosted the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at Downing Street this morning, ahead of a Coalition of the Willing meeting.

The Prime Minister began by reiterating the government’s steadfast support for Ukraine, both today and long into the future.

Paying tribute to President Trump’s leadership on sanctions this week, the Prime Minister said the progress made on applying pressure on Russia’s economy through oil and gas sanctions was a really significant moment.

It was now vital countries built on that momentum and went further to supply long-range capabilities to Ukraine, the leaders agreed.

Turning to Russia’s systematic targeting of critical national infrastructure, the leaders said it was extremely important to step up support to Ukraine’s national grid and look at new solutions to keep the lights on in villages and towns hit by Russian strikes through the winter.

The leaders agreed to speak again soon.

E3 Leaders’ Statement on the Situation in Gaza and the West Bank: 25 July 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-25)

E3 Leaders’ Statement on the Situation in Gaza and the West Bank.

The time has come to end the war in Gaza. We urge all parties to bring an end to the conflict by reaching an immediate ceasefire. We call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages who have been held captive by Hamas since October 7, 2023. A negotiated ceasefire is the best chance to bring the hostages home, end the anguish of their families and finally bring relief to the civilian population in Gaza. The disarmament of Hamas is imperative, and Hamas must have no role in the future of Gaza. We reaffirm our commitment to supporting the diplomatic efforts of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt.

The humanitarian catastrophe that we are witnessing in Gaza must end now. The most basic needs of the civilian population, including access to water and food, must be met without any further delay. Withholding essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable. We call on the Israeli Government to immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid and urgently allow the UN and humanitarian NGOs to carry out their work in order to take action against starvation. Israel must uphold its obligations under international humanitarian law.

We firmly oppose all efforts to impose Israeli sovereignty over the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Threats of annexation, settlements and acts of settler violence against Palestinians undermine the prospects for a negotiated two-state solution.

We are committed to working together with our international partners including at the United Nations to develop a specific and credible plan for the next phase in Gaza that will put in place transitional governance and security arrangements, and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid at scale. This must be accompanied by the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the removal of Hamas leadership, as key steps towards a negotiated two-state solution.

We stand ready to take further action to support an immediate ceasefire and a political process that leads to lasting security and peace for Israelis, Palestinians and the entire region.

CH227110 - How to do a compliance check: information powers: third party notice: bank mandates: introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


This page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

Where you need information or documents that a bank would normally provide to the person you should, in the first instance, ask the person to provide them; issuing a formal request and considering a penalty if you receive no response. If this approach is unsuccessful, only then should you consider the issue of a third party notice to a bank see CH227210 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch227210).

The person may ask that you contact the bank direct. You may judge this to be the best way to progress your compliance check. However, particularly if you have issued a taxpayer notice requiring the person to provide information or provide documents, you should not allow the person to avoid that obligation by making direct contact with the person’s bank.

If you decide to make a direct approach to the person’s bank you will need the person to complete a bank mandate.

A mandate has the advantage that it can give a higher level of assurance that all the information you need has been produced. In cases where you require that higher assurance you may wish to take the initiative in proposing a mandate. Note that a mandate will only enable you to obtain material that the bank would have provided to the person.

You should make the person aware that the bank may charge him or her for the information provided. If you need the bank's internal confidential records, you will need to issue a Tribunal-approved third party notice, see CH227200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch227200).

Where the person is willing to give you a mandate you should let them have a mandate form for each bank you need to approach. Ask the person to sign and return each mandate form to you, see CH227120 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch227120) for wording to be used in a free format letter for the person to return.

After the signed mandate is received an approach to the bank can be made, see CH227130 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch227130).

Banks sometimes reply to a mandate with instructions asking you to use third party software to access the data. HMRC caseworkers must not do this. Instead, your relevant Systems and Data team should be consulted.

Assessment and rating of wind turbine noise guidance: proposed updates
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-04)

We're seeking views on updates to guidance on the assessment of noise from onshore wind turbines across the UK.

Technical guidance for the assessment of noise emissions from onshore wind turbines provides advice to local authorities across the UK on:
- appraising planning applications for onshore wind developments
- aiding deployment of suitable onshore wind developments
- ensuring noise impacts are robustly controlled
The existing guidance (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a798b42ed915d07d35b655a/ETSU_Full_copy__Searchable_.pdf) dates back to 1996. In 2023, a government commissioned independent scoping review indicated that it would benefit from updating.

We have worked closely with acoustic experts and leading scientists to produce these proposed updates which aim to align the guidance with:
- available evidence
- developments in turbine technology and wind turbine noise assessment methodologies
- government policies on noise and net zero
This consultation seeks views on the proposed updates.

It is likely to be of particular interest to those with previous experience in the measurement and assessment of wind turbine noise, including (but not limited to):
- the energy industry
- local planning authorities
- project developers
Please respond using the online response form (https://energygovuk.citizenspace.com/energy-infrastructure-planning/assessment-rating-wind-turbine-noise) where possible. Use the email address for queries only, or if you need to respond using an alternative method.

Local planning authorities should not use this draft guidance in relation to ongoing planning applications: continue to use the existing guidance until we issue a government response to this consultation.

A Streamlined Approach to Payment Systems Regulation Consultation
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-08)

This consultation sets out proposals for consolidating the Payment Systems Regulator within the Financial Conduct Authority.

In March 2025, the government announced that it will consolidate the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) primarily within the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as part of the Regulatory Action Plan. The government committed to consult on the details of how this would be achieved and to legislate for this change as soon as Parliamentary time allows.

This consultation paper sets out proposals for integrating the functions of the PSR entirely within the FCA. This will see the FCA take on the PSR’s responsibilities, including for promoting competition and innovation in payment systems and the services provided by payment systems, as well as supporting the interests of consumers and businesses.

The proposed consolidation seeks to deliver a more streamlined regulatory environment for payment systems by reducing the number of regulatory bodies, simplifying the regulatory landscape for firms and stakeholders. This marks a further step being taken by government to deliver its vision for a trusted and world-leading payments ecosystem.
