A comprehensive strategy for tackling tobacco smuggling (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tackling-tobacco-smuggling-building-on-our-success) has been published by HMRC and Border Force to address the source, supply and demand for illicit tobacco products in the UK.

The strategy was boosted by a £25 million reinvestment from the government’s 2010 spending review which was aimed at tackling organised crime, tax evasion and avoidance.

HMRC estimates the size of the illicit market using tax gap data which is reported annually.

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 Praesidium Capital Management Europe 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 Praesidium Capital Management Europe 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.

The characteristics, diagnosis and epidemiology of fungal infections in humans

Fungal infections in humans can range from common, mild superficial infections such as athlete’s foot and thrush (both vaginal and oral) to serious life-threatening diseases such as invasive aspergillosis.

Most fungi are free living in the environment and few of these are capable of causing infection in an otherwise healthy individual but can be responsible for life-threatening infections in patients with lowered immunity.

For symptoms and general information on athlete’s foot and thrush, visit NHS.UK (https://www.nhs.uk/pages/home.aspx).

Submitting Crime Contract verification information
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-03)

Applicants that did not submit compliant verification information before 31 January 2025 may still join the October 2025 Duty Rotas if they act promptly.

The deadline for submission of compliant verification information to join the October 2025 Duty Rotas under the crime contract procurement process passed on 31 January 2025. Applicants that met this deadline will be on the October 2025 rotas.

Applicants who tendered under the Stage one Process but did not meet the 31 January 2025 deadline may still have the opportunity to join the October 2025 Duty Rotas if they submit compliant verification information quickly.

We intend to give as many Applicants as possible the opportunity to join the October 2025 Duty Rotas. We will, therefore, continue to review verification information submitted after 31 January 2025.

Verification information will be reviewed in the order submitted until such time that it is necessary, for operational reasons, to commence production of Duty Rotas. We cannot confirm precisely what date this will be. Therefore, the sooner applicants act, the greater the likelihood that they will be able to join the October 2025 rotas.

MTT55160 - Administration: Compliance: Compliance checks: Information notices
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


Most people will co-operate fully when asked for information or documents. However, to address cases where they do not, Schedule 36 FA 2008 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2008/9/schedule/36) has been extended in its application to cover MTT. The basic rules and guidance as set out in the law and guidance at CH20000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch20000) will therefore apply for MTT.

There are safeguards to ensure that HMRC acts reasonably and that any action HMRC takes is appropriate to the circumstances and does not unreasonably interfere with a person’s rights under Article 8 of the Human Rights Act. See CH21340 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch21340).

The information or documents HMRC ask for or the inspection HMRC carries out must be reasonably required to check a person’s tax position (see CH21520 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch21520)). HMRC cannot require a person to give us or require them to allow us to inspect some types of information (see CH22000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch22000)). Amongst other things, this will include documents that were created for the dominant purpose of a tax appeal (see CH22160) (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch22160).

There are Factsheets covering the use of our information and inspection powers and these should be issued as appropriate. See CH21200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch21200).

An overview of HMRC powers to ask for information or documents is at CH20200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch20200). Detailed guidance starts at CH23000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch23000).

An overview of HMRC powers to carry out an inspection is at CH20250 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch20250)and detailed guidance starts at CH25000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch25000).

Pensions Investment Review: Final Report
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-30)

The Final Report sets out reforms to the Defined Contribution workplace pensions market and the Local Government Pension Scheme in England and Wales.

The Final Report sets out the conclusions of the Pensions Investment Review, launched in July 2024. Legislation to implement the reforms will form part of the forthcoming Pension Schemes Bill.

The reforms will deliver a major consolidation in the Defined Contribution (DC) workplace pensions market. This will enable more investment in productive assets and greater potential returns for members of DC workplace schemes. A reserve power will also be taken in the forthcoming Pension Schemes Bill, to ensure the step-change in productive investment in the DC workplace pensions market.

The reforms will also deliver consolidation in the Local Government Pension Scheme in England and Wales (the LGPS). They will overhaul the way the LGPS invests to deliver large pools of professionally managed capital in line with international best practice, while embedding investment in local communities as a priority, placing the scheme on a stronger, more sustainable footing in the interest of members, employers and local taxpayers.

The Final Report is accompanied by the publication of responses to the two consultations published alongside the Interim Report:

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.

IHTM27163 - Foreign property: Double Taxation Conventions: exchange of information: why exchange information?
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


One of the purposes of Double Taxation Conventions is to provide rules for exchanging relevant information between the two contracting countries.

To exchange information, we must send a bulletin (form 730 - IHTM27164 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm27164)) detailing the assets on which the other country might have a claim. What information is provided in the bulletin depends largely on the domicile (IHTM13001 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13001)) or residence of the deceased. Remember that this applies not only when someone becomes beneficially entitled to property following a death but also when they get a capital distribution from a settlement (except in the case of exchanges with France, Italy and Switzerland).

Convention partners will send us bulletins to notify us that we may have a claim to tax, for example, F2092 from the USA, or CA52 from Ireland.

Where specific information is required from a foreign taxation authority that has a Double Taxation Convention with the UK, Technical may be able to obtain it by writing directly to the foreign taxation authority. This also applies where foreign taxation authorities have a TIEA (Tax Information Exchange Agreement) with the UK or where the country concerned is a signatory to the OECD Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters.

Outcome of unduly lenient sentence referrals
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-10)

Recent sentences examined by the Attorney General’s Office under the Unduly Lenient Sentence Scheme

Members of the public can ask the Attorney General’s office to examine sentences handed down by Crown Courts in England and Wales within 28 days of sentencing under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme (ULS).

This document is intended to assist the public in reviewing cases which have recently been submitted to the Attorney General’s office. This includes the sentences examined, the outcome and details of the cases. This information is updated weekly. If you are a journalist looking for an update in a case or comment on the ULS Scheme please contact xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

Names of all offenders have been truncated to only include offenders’ initials. Offenders’ names are listed as ‘Restricted’ where reporting restrictions have been imposed preventing any information being published that could lead to the offender being identified. Members of the public can still search for specific cases by knowing the offence, court of sentence and original sentence.

In cases involving multiple offenders; while each offender is listed separately, they are linked by a unique case reference number. The reason for the referral could relate to one substantive error made during sentencing which has affected multiple sentencing decisions, regardless of the number of offenders involved.
