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 Parkdean Resorts UK 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 Parkdean Resorts UK 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
- 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.

Opening of the Legal Year 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)

Wednesday 1 October 2025 marks the Opening of the Legal Year

Today (1 October) is the opening of the legal year in England and Wales, which was marked with a centuries-old traditional ceremony in Westminster Abbey.

Treasury Solicitor Susanna McGibbon KC (Hon) and the department’s Directors General Mel Nebhrajani CB, Sarah Goom, and Caroline Croft, joined Attorney General Lord Hermer KC, and Solicitor General Ellie Reeves MP for the service.

The legal year is divided into four terms, beginning with the Michaelmas term, and is marked with a ceremony at Westminster Abbey, which has maintained much of its historical elements including prayers for guidance.

This year, before the service, the Lord Chancellor and Solicitor General were sworn in at the Royal Courts of Justice in the Lady Chief Justice’s court, with addresses from the Bench, Bar, and Law Society.

Susanna McGibbon KC (Hon), Treasury Solicitor and Permanent Secretary of the Government Legal Department, said:

This new year brings fresh opportunities to strengthen the partnership between government and the profession, building on our shared commitment to justice and excellence.

Today’s event is a good time to celebrate the role of government lawyers in supporting the priorities of the government of the day through developing legislation, negotiating international agreements and conducting litigation in the highest courts of the land.

The Government Legal Department is the principal legal adviser to the government of the day, helping the government to govern well, within the rule of law.
Great crested newts: apply for a mitigation licence (A14)
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-15)

Apply for a licence to carry out work that may affect great crested newts, find out if you need to pay and how to report your actions.

You need a mitigation licence if your work will have impacts on great crested newts (GCN) that would otherwise be illegal, such as:
- capturing, killing, disturbing or injuring them (on purpose or by not taking enough care)
- damaging or destroying their breeding or resting places (even accidentally)
- obstructing access to their resting or sheltering places (on purpose or by not taking enough care)
You should check if you’re working in an area where there is a district level licensing scheme. This offers a quicker option to apply for a GCN mitigation licence.

Business survey

The OIM wants to hear from a wide range of stakeholders, including SMEs and others in the supply chain, about their experience of dealing with regulatory changes in relation to single-use plastics.

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 ISL 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 ISL 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 Reservists
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.

MTT50010 - Administration: Overview
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


HMRC are responsible for collecting and managing the Multinational Top-up Tax (MTT). Schedule 14 sets out the legislative framework under which payment of MTT is to be administered.

The following pages provide some practical guidance in support of the legislation.

MTT51000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt51000)+ provides guidance on the filing member and the obligations of the filing member. MTT is applied to groups, but administration is simplified by the selection of a single member of the group as the point of contact for compliance.

MTT52000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt52000)+ provides guidance on the information return, also known as the GloBE Information Return.

MTT53000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt53000)+ provides guidance on the self-assessment return.

MTT54000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt54000)+ provides guidance on the payment date, interest, group payment notices, and relief of overpaid tax.

MTT55000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt55000)+ provides guidance on compliance, including compliance checks, discovery assessments, HMRC determinations, penalties, appeals, and reviews.

Domestic Top-up Tax

Domestic Top-up Tax (DTT) is generally administrated in the same way as MTT. See MTT50200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt50200) for guidance on the administration of DTT.

Where this guidance refers to MTT, it is also referring to DTT, unless noted otherwise.

Accounting periods

References to accounting periods will refer to the accounting period of the consolidated financial statements of the group, rather than that of any individual member of the group. See MTT09540 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt09540) for guidance on accounting periods.

Groups where the ultimate parent is not located in the UK

Note that groups which are headquartered outside of the UK are still required to register for MTT.

See MTT51100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt51100) for guidance on identifying the filing member (which is obliged to register for MTT), and MTT51400 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt51400) for guidance on the obligation to register.

Groups comprised entirely of excluded entities

Where all of a group’s entities are excluded entities, it does not have administrative obligations. It is not required to register and does not have any other administrative obligations.

If all of the UK entities of a group are excluded entities, but it has entities in other territories which are not excluded entities, it must still register.
