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.

MTT41450 - Particular entities and adjustments: Tax transparent entities: Exclusion of profits of flow-through entity where owner is not a group member
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


Where the following conditions are met, an amount of the profits of the flow-through entity (FTE) will be excluded from its adjusted profits:
- every ownership interest held in the FTE by a member of the group is a flow-through ownership interest (see MTT41440 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt41440)), and
- a person that is not a member of the group has an ownership interest in the FTE that is:
- direct, or
- held through a direct ownership interest in an entity, and a reference entity of the FTE that is a member of the group has an ownership interest in that entity.
The proportion of the underlying profits to be excluded is equal to the percentage ownership interest that the external investor has in the FTE.

This is set out in section 168(9) to (9A) of Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Flow-through entity is a main entity

Where the FTE is a main entity of a permanent establishment under section 232(2)(a)-(c), its underlying profits will be attributed to the permanent establishment in accordance with section 159 of the Act (see MTT41025 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt41025)).

If a proportion of its underlying profits must be excluded in relation to an external investor, the amount should be excluded before any attribution from the FTE to the permanent establishment.

HMRC Responsibility

When conducting a visit on an exporter, HMRC SHOULD:
- Verify the authenticity of exporters’ records;
- Verify the audit trial linking the documentation through the commercial process to export including the verification of particular stages of the export transaction;
- Investigate any irregularity;
- Advise DBT of action taken;
- Impose any specific sanctions under CEMA (eg seizure, compounding and prosecution of offences);
- Collate and maintain intelligence on suspect exports and exporters’;
- Advise DBT of breaches of licence requirements.
Note:

DBT's activity to be confined to only those exporters dealing in controlled goods;

The purpose of DBT’s visit is to:
- promote awareness of export controls; and
- ensure compliance with the licence conditions.
The level of visiting by HMRC will be as set by the Department.

The record of the visit will be a disclosable document and should contain a factual account of the persons seen, records inspected and advice and documentation (if any) provided. Care should be taken not to voice opinions which could be used to allege that DBT knew and condoned particular actions in relation to specific exports.

An independent report on whether there is a case to make changes to legal tests on the use of force and unlawful killing conclusions at inquests.

In October 2024, the Home Secretary and the Lord Chancellor appointed Timothy Godwin OBE QPM and Sir Adrian Fulford to rapidly assess whether there is a case for change in relation to:

the legal test for use of force in police misconduct cases and whether it should be raised to the criminal standard

the threshold for determining a short-form conclusion of unlawful killing in inquests

Following extensive evidence gathering between November 2024 and May 2025, the reviewers recommend amending the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2020 to apply the criminal law test for use of force in misconduct cases. On unlawful killing, the report advises a full public consultation before any decision on a change to the standard of proof for unlawful killing inquest conclusions.

UK overseas trade in goods statistics and UK regional trade in goods statistics at summary product and country level, and by UK regions and devolved administrations.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) collects the UK’s international trade in goods data, which are published as two Accredited official statistics series - the UK overseas trade in goods statistics (OTS) and the UK regional trade in goods statistics (RTS). The OTS are published monthly in simultaneous releases for non-EU and EU trade, and include import and export trade values by summary product and partner country. The RTS are published quarterly showing trade at summary product and country level, split by UK regions and devolved administrations.

This is a collection of the latest monthly and quarterly OTS and RTS releases and data tables available on GOV.UK, with supporting methodologies. Additional releases are available from uktradeinfo.com (https://www.uktradeinfo.com)

UK OTS and RTS data is also accessible in greater product and partner country detail in an interactive table with extensive archive (https://www.uktradeinfo.com/trade-data/) at uktradeinfo.com (https://www.uktradeinfo.com)

SCOTTISH CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE LIMITED

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 SCOTTISH CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE 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 SCOTTISH CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE 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 Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
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.
