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 Fantom Factory 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 Fantom Factory 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
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- 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.
How we protected the UK and space in October 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-17)

This report was issued in November 2025 and covers the time period 1 October 2025 to 31 October 2025 inclusive.

October saw increased levels of space activity with both uncontrolled re-entry and collision alerts higher than in September. However, overall risk levels were below the 12-month rolling average.

All NSpOC warning and protection services were functioning throughout the period.

Re-entry analysis

October saw a 15% increase in the number of objects re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, monitored by NSpOC, when compared with the previous month.

Of the 54 objects that re-entered, 52 were satellites and 2 were rocket bodies.

November: 47, December: 83, January: 115, February: 129, March: 85, April: 92, May: 64, June: 55, July: 52, August: 34, September: 39, October: 54

Collision avoidance analysis

Collision risks to UK-licensed satellites were higher in October with a 56% increase when compared with September, caused by more interactions between UK-licensed objects and other spacecraft or debris over the previous 30 days.

November: 2,722, December: 2,142, January: 2,694, February: 2,567, March: 2,588, April: 2,620, May: 1,546, June: 1,259, July: 1,038, August: 971, September: 1,537, October: 2,402

Registered Space Objects (RSOs) analysis

The in-orbit population increased in October, with a net addition of 160 objects to the US Satellite Catalogue.

The number of Resident Space Objects (RSOs) reported may be subject to small adjustments over time as the way objects are tracked is refined. Figures in this report reflect the most current available data and may differ slightly from those published in previous months.

November: 29,883, December: 29,934, January: 30,062, February: 30,093, March: 30,187, April: 30,315, May: 30,566, June: 30,892, July: 31,102, August: 31,357, September, 31,516, October: 31,676

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 Training and Development Resource 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 Training and Development Resource 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
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.

INTM333570 - Double Taxation Applications and Claims: repayment interest: How repayment interest is calculated where the non-UK resident company’s accounting period exceeds 12 months
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-04)


Period over 12 months

Where a company prepares accounts for a period that exceeds 12 months, its accounting period ends (for UK Corporation Tax purposes) 12 months from the beginning of the accounting period. This means that where a company resident in an EU/EEA member state prepares accounts for a period exceeding 12 months there will be two (or more) accounting periods to consider when calculating repayment interest.

If a company prepared accounts for the period 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2021 its accounting periods for the purposes of calculating repayment interest are
- 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021 and
- 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2021.
Example

Form DT Company is received on 1 February 2021 from a company in Italy to reclaim the UK income tax (less 8%) that was deducted from royalties paid to them by a UK company on 30 April 2019 and 30 October 2019. Repayment was made on 31 March 2021. The Italian company received the royalties in their accounting period 1 July 2018 to 31 December 2019.

You will have to make two separate repayment interest calculations

Calculation 1 - for the accounting period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019

As the accounting period is 1 July 2018 to 31 December 2019 (a period that is over 12 months), the first accounting period end date is 30 June 2019, 12 months from the beginning of the accounting period. In this accounting period the Italian company received one royalty payment on 30 April 2019. Repayment interest is due from 1 July 2019 (the day following the end of the accounting period in which the royalty payment was received) to 31 March 2021 (when HMRC repaid the income tax) on the repayment relating to this royalty payment

Calculation 2 - for the accounting period 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2019

The royalty payment made on 30 October 2019 was received in the accounting period 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2019. Repayment interest is due from 1 January 2020 (the day following the end of the accounting period in which the royalty payment was received) to 31 March 2021 (when HMRC repaid the income tax) on the repayment relating to this royalty payment.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

The Direct Trader Input (DTI) Networks may connect to CHIEF via an EDI link. A Technical Interface Specification (TIS) has been made available to the system operators to enable them to make this link. The form of communication enables data to be transferred in structured EDIFACT messages between the system operator's network and the CHIEF system.

Top of page (#Top)

Direct communication

Direct communication covers the situation where the computers involved in the message exchange are directly linked, normally via a virtual (eg over a packet switching network) telecommunications circuit. Messages are transmitted from one computer system and received by the other.

The applications using direct links usually enable the originating system to know that the message has been successfully received and processed.

The Community Systems Providers (CSPs) operate Inventory systems at the major UK ports and inland clearance depots. The movement goods through such locations in generally directed by the Inventory system and in such circumstances the Customs Entry and inventory consignment are 'linked' to enhance control and facilitate movement.

Top of page (#Top)

Data transmissions routes that may be used

The routes into CHIEF are:
- direct communication links or other means supported by the CSP System Provider Operators
- direct communication links to CHIEF via
- Email
- the Internet via the web form
- Extensible Mark Up Language (XML) messaging
- Customs Input of Entries (CIE)
Note: CSPs and declarations made via the web and XML (using the Government Gateway) are the only acceptable routes for electronic licensing and CAP refund claims.

In evaluating the relative costs of the CSP Systems and email, a trader will need to consider whether there are any benefits to their commercial systems from interactive processing.

When a trader is authorised to use SDP or LCP they must send a pre-shipment advice declaration, notifications and supplementary declarations to Customs electronically. If they use the DEP facility all declarations, both full pre shipment and supplementary declarations, must be submitted electronically.

Human Computer Interface (HCI)

This is a normal screen interface through which a user interacts with CHIEF. Customs staff will communicate with CHIEF through HCI. Access to certain CHIEF facilities such as HELP, NOTICEBOARD and MESSAGING will only be available to users via the HCI interface.
