CTM16200 - Distributions: impact on Corporation Tax: franked investment income under the ACT system abolished from 6 April 1999: surplus - claims under ICTA88/S242
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-29)


ICTA88/S242 (1), (9), and ICTA88/S244 (1)

Surplus franked investment income (FII) was an excess of FII that a company had received over franked payments (FP) the company had made in the accounting period.

For accounting periods beginning before 2 July 1997, a company could claim under ICTA88/S242, see CTM16220 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm16220), to treat the surplus as a like amount of profits within the charge to CT. What this meant in practice was that:
- certain unused reliefs (losses and so forth, see CTM16220 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm16220) could be set against the surplus FII,
- the tax credit attached to the surplus FII was paid to the company, and
- the surplus FII (for ICTA88/SCH13 purposes) and unused reliefs carried forward to the next accounting period were reduced accordingly.
A claim under ICTA88/S242 excluded any surplus FII the company had brought forward from earlier accounting periods. It also excluded any FII that the company had set off against FP of a later accounting period. There is an example of a claim under ICTA88/S242 in CTM16210 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm16210).

Special rules applied for claims involving FII of 1993-94, see CTM20535 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm20535).

A company could make FP and receive FII on various dates throughout an accounting period. It may have been necessary to analyse these transactions by reference to the ICTA88/SCH13 return periods to find when surplus FII arose. This could havel been relevant in considering whether a surplus arose before or from 6 April where the rate of tax credit had changed, see CTM16215 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm16215).

Five First World War Soldiers Buried in Belgium
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-22)

The remains of Private (Pte) Harry James Birch of the Cheshire Regiment, and four unknown soldiers were recovered during roadworks in the Poelcapelle-Hulsthoutseweg area of Belgium in 2018.

The service, organised by the MOD’s Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC), also known as the ‘MOD War Detectives’, was held at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s (CWGC) Poelcapelle British Cemetery near Ypres, Belgium today (21 May 2025).

Pte Birch, who served with the 16th Battalion The Cheshire Regiment, died on 22 October 1917 during the Third Battle of Ypres. Pte Birch was formally identified using DNA provided by his great-nephew, but the first clue to his identity was a leather belt found with him which bore traces of his regimental number and part of his name.

Alexia Clark, MOD War Detective said:

It has been a privilege to organise this burial service for Pte Birch. When you consider the half-a-million men still missing from the First and Second World Wars, every one we can identify feels like an achievement. I am delighted that Pte Birch’s military family have now been able to give him the dignified burial he had been denied for so long.

Sadly, despite extensive research, it has not been possible to identify the four men found alongside Pte Birch. In total 2,068 men lost their lives in Belgium between 22 and 24 October 1917 and more than 1,000 of those remain missing.

Reverend Gary Birch, Senior Chaplain, Head Quarters South West, said:

It is always a sobering privilege to officiate at any service person’s funeral, but even more so to give a WW1 soldier the proper dignity and respect they deserve. Although we’re not related, the fact that I share two names with Private Harry James Birch brings an even greater poignancy to the service for me, and a reminder that any of us who serve in the armed forces may one day be asked to offer the greatest sacrifice in service to others.

Although the other men buried next to Pte Birch today remain unnamed, it is important and right that each one is given the same respect and honour. Each one who fell whilst serving their country is worthy of full respect and it is my great honour to lead these moments of reflection and reverence.

The graves will now be cared for by CWGC. Dr Daniel Seaton, Commemorations Case Officer at the CWGC, said:

We are deeply honoured to have these four unknown soldiers and Private Birch of the Cheshire Regiment laid to rest at Poelcapelle British Cemetery, after they tragically lost their lives more than a century ago. Their graves will be cared for by us, in perpetuity. We would also like to thank our Belgium Area Operations Team and Recovery Unit for their part in preparing the cemetery – with this ceremony speaking to the Commission’s work of ensuring that those who gave their lives in the world wars continue to be remembered.

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 Crown Consulting (Projects) Ltd 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Crown Consulting (Projects) Ltd 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

- 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.
UK-India CETA Chapter 18: Subsidies
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

Text of chapter 18 of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and India.

This chapter reaffirms and builds upon existing World Trade Organization (WTO) subsidy rules.

Unfair practices in providing subsidies undermine trust in the rules-based trading system and prevent UK businesses from competing fairly with foreign businesses.

The chapter does not prescribe the specifics of subsidy control arrangements for the UK or India, but instead provides for transparency in subsidies granted, and for appropriate means to raise concerns where they arise, complementing the tools available through the WTO.

The agreement is not yet in force. Both the UK and India are required to complete their respective domestic procedures for the agreement to come into effect. Once ratified by both countries, businesses will be able to trade under its terms.

Research on the economic and social value of volunteering

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) commissioned London Economics, working with Basis Social and New Philanthropy Capital (NPC) to monetise the economic and social value of volunteering in England. The work implements a methodology developed for DCMS by combining desk research and stakeholder workshops with academics, local government officials, funders, and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations.

This report examines the benefits of adult formal volunteering, which refers to giving unpaid help to groups or clubs by individuals aged 16 and over and aligns with the DCMS’s Community Life Survey (CLS) definition. The report estimates the monetary value of formal volunteering activity in England in 2021/22. During that period, approximately 12 million people formally volunteered at least once.

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 Vestas Offshore Wind Blades UK Ltd 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 Vestas Offshore Wind Blades UK Ltd 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
We also pledge the following:

-Working with the CTP in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for service leavers

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.

IHTM42086 - Ten year anniversary: Tax calculation: the rate of tax: step 2: the nil rate band available (‘NRBA’)
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


The nil rate band (NRB) is reduced by the sum of
- any chargeable transfers made by the settlor in the seven years prior to the start of the trust (IHTM42255 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm42255)) and
- any amounts which incurred exit charges (IHTM (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm42110)42110 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm42110)) in the ten years prior to the anniversary.
Simple scenarios

If (B) + (C) is nil the NRBA is £325,000 (i.e. the full NRB).

If that sum is £200,000 the NRBA is £125,000.

If that sum is greater than or equal to £325,000 the NRBA is nil. It also means that the initial rate of IHT is 6% so you do not need to consider step 3.

Other scenarios

If the trust started before 27 March 1974 then ignore 1. above.

If property had been the subject of an exit charge and is also comprised in the trust at the ten-year anniversary then you reduce sum of 1. + 2. above by the lower of the value transferred at the exit and the value charged at the anniversary (IHTM42089 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm42089))

If the settlor makes further additions to the trust (after 8 March 1982) and the previous chargeable transfers at that time are greater than the chargeable transfers made in the seven years prior to the commencement of the trust then you should use the higher figure for cumulation. (IHTM42090 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm42090))

Once you know the NRBA above and the notional lifetime transfer (IHTM42085 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm42085)) you can then calculate the initial rate of Inheritance Tax which will be a figure less than or equal to 6%.
UK-funded Livelihoods Strategy and Action Plan project celebrates milestones in Belize
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-26)

The UK FCDO granted $32 million to the UKCIF Coastal Road Upgrading Project to support economic resilience and create sustainable livelihood opportunities in Belize.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (UK FCDO), in collaboration with the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), the Ministry of Infrastructure Development and Housing (MIDH) of Belize, the Belize Social Investment Fund (BSIF), and The Belize Trade & Investment Development Service (BELTRAIDE), proudly highlights the achievements and upcoming milestones of the Livelihoods Strategy and Action Plan (LSAP) under the UK Caribbean Infrastructure Fund (UKCIF).

The UK FCDO provided a grant of $32 million to the UKCIF Coastal Road Upgrading Project. Via LSAP, this aims to build economic resilience and create sustainable livelihood opportunities in Gales Point Village and Mullins River Village in Belize.

Key achievements to date include:
- formalization and registration support for 80 Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), including 43 female-owned and 37 male-owned businesses
- entrepreneurial development training for 72 participants of which 59 completed the certification
- an upcoming Buy Belizean exhibition in Dangriga Town on June 14, 2025, featuring 14 MSMEs and 6 formalization and support agencies
On May 24, 2025, a certificate ceremony was held at Gales Point Village Primary School to recognize the accomplishments of 59 participants who completed the Entrepreneurial Development Training Program. This training focused on sustainable, community-based business development and was facilitated by BELTRAIDE through its Small Business Development Centre (SBDCBelize).

Climate, Environment and Energy Officer & Caribbean Regional Lead, Zana Wade, representing the UK at the ceremony.

This milestone reflects the joint commitment of UK FCDO, CDB, MIDH, BSIF and BELTRAIDE to inclusive economic development, job creation, and community empowerment. The LSAP target was to support the formalization of 40 MSMEs; the actual number, 80 businesses, represents double the target, showcasing strong community engagement and a deepening commitment to entrepreneurship in both villages.

Child maintenance facts and figures
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-23)

Statistics about separated families and the child maintenance system.

These statistics look at financial and non-financial support between separated parents to help support their children.

There is no requirement for separated families to have a child maintenance arrangement and not all families want an arrangement. If they do want an arrangement, separated families have a number of choices.

Separated parents can arrange child maintenance themselves (https://www.gov.uk/arranging-child-maintenance-yourself), if they agree to do so. This is called a ‘family-based arrangement’ and is a private way to sort out child maintenance. It can consist of payments or other support, such as sharing care or paying some costs. Parents may arrange everything themselves and no-one else has to be involved.

For parents who need some assistance, the Get Help Arranging Child Maintenance (https://www.gov.uk/child-maintenance-service) (GHACM) service is a free service that provides impartial information and support to help separated parents make decisions about their child maintenance arrangements. GHACM was introduced in November 2021 and replaced Child Maintenance Options (Options).

The Child Maintenance Service (CMS), which replaced the Child Support Agency (CSA), is for when parents can’t agree to a family-based arrangement. Parents wishing to use the CMS must first speak to GHACM.

Dr Penelope Dash confirmed as new chair of NHS England
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-03)

Dr Penelope Dash has been appointed by the government as the next chair of NHS England.

Wes Streeting, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, has today confirmed Dr Penny Dash will be the new chair of NHS England.

Dr Dash is currently the Chair of the NHS North West London Integrated Care Board and is leading a major review into the regulation of health and social care quality in England. Her interim report, published last year, shone a light on the scale of the failure at the Care Quality Commission, and sparked the appointment of new leadership to turn around the health and care regulator.

A former NHS doctor, senior partner at McKinsey and Company working on healthcare globally, and Head of Strategy at the Department of Health and Social Care, Dr Dash has a wealth of experience in the public, private and government sectors.

As chair of NHS England, she will be drawing on her vast knowledge in these fields to focus on rebuilding the NHS as part of the government’s 10 Year Health Plan.

She was selected following an open public appointment process to appoint a successor to Richard Meddings, who is due to step down next month.

Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting said:

I am delighted to confirm Dr Penny Dash as the new chair of NHS England. She is a radical reformer, with the skills and experience we need to help fix our broken NHS and make it fit for the future.

I look forward to working with her as we continue to tackle the waiting list backlog, unleash innovation in health services, and support our healthcare staff to deliver the timely care patients deserve.

I would also like to thank Richard Meddings for his dedicated service, helping to guide the NHS through the aftermath of the pandemic.

Dr Penny Dash said:

I am honoured to have been appointed the new chair of NHS England.

I am excited to start working with my NHS colleagues and the government to accelerate the process of renewal and rebuilding to make sure the NHS continues to serve the needs of its communities and its staff.

The 10 Year Health Plan is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape the NHS to take on the challenges of the future and I look forward to playing my part.

Dr Dash was confirmed as the government’s preferred candidate in February. The Secretary of State took the final decision following a hearing with the Health and Social Care Committee on 26 February 2025.

This appointment is a 4-year term and begins 1 April 2025.

More information about Dr Dash’s appointment is on the DHSC public appointments: 2024 to 2025 page (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dhsc-public-appointments-2024-to-2025).
