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 BMNT 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 BMNT 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.

MTT51400 - Administration: Filing member: Registration
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


The filing member is obliged to register with HMRC if:
- the group is a qualifying group for MTT purposes (see MTT10010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt10010)), and
- it contains at least one member that is located in the UK (see MTT18010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt18010)).
Note that groups which have an ultimate parent located outside of the UK are still required to register.

This is set out in paragraphs 6, 8 and 9 of Schedule 14 to Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Registration process

The filing member registers by providing to HMRC:
- the name of the filing member,
- the name of the ultimate parent (if different to the filing member),
- the date of the first day of the first accounting period in which it becomes a qualifying multinational group (the ‘trigger day’), and
- the end date of the accounting period in which the trigger day occurs.
The registration service (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/report-pillar-2-top-up-taxes) is available online.

Registration date

The filing member must register with HMRC no later than six months after the last day of the accounting period in which the trigger day occurred.

Example

XYZ Ltd is the filing member of XYZ Group and is located in the UK. The group’s accounting periods are 12 months and end on 31 December each year. The group becomes a qualifying group for the first time for the period ending 31 December 2030. The first day of this period (the trigger day) is 1 January 2030.

The trigger day falls within the accounting period ending 31 December 2030. XYZ Ltd must register with HMRC by 30 June 2031.

Changes in registration information

If there is a change in the information that was submitted as part of the registration for MTT, the filing member must notify HMRC of the change by the later of:
- 6 months after the day the change takes place, or
- if the change occurs in the same period as the trigger day, the last day of that period.
The change must be notified using the HMRC service (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/replace-the-filing-member-for-a-pillar-2-top-up-taxes-account).

Groups comprised entirely of excluded entities

Where all of a group’s entities are excluded entities, it is not required to register.

Domestic Top-up Tax

The registration process will be the same process for DTT as for MTT. Where a group is obliged to register for both, it will be possible to do this by a single registration.

For DTT purposes, there is a different definition of 'trigger day' (see MTT50200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt50200)).

Digital justice system: inclusion framework and pre-action model
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-17)

Seeks views on the OPRC’s draft inclusion framework and pre-action model to improve digital access to justice in civil, family, and tribunal proceedings.

The Online Procedure Rule Committee (OPRC) invites feedback from the public and key stakeholders on its draft inclusion framework and pre-action model.

It marks an important milestone—not only for the committee, but for all those committed to strengthening access to justice across civil, family, and tribunal proceedings. The OPRC is committed to ensuring that a wide range of perspectives are heard, valued, and reflected in the final approach.

The draft inclusion framework sets out design principles and standards to ensure all users, especially those at risk of exclusion, can access and engage with digital justice services. Key features include user-centred design, plain language and robust data collection to measure inclusion outcomes.

The draft pre-action model outlines guidance for online legal information, advice, and dispute-resolution services. It seeks to promote early, fair, and efficient resolution of disputes outside of court and aims to unify standards across digital platforms. It includes principles for user conduct and provider responsibilities such as transparency, accessibility, data privacy, and referral protocols. It also proposes technical and data standards to support smooth transitions between services and the wider digital justice system.

Responses

The OPRC would be delighted to receive responses to the questions posed in this document by 5pm on 19 September 2025. Responses should be completed on the response form available on this webpage and sent to: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx)

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 Nottingham Trent University 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 Nottingham Trent University 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
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

Prevent financial fraud against your farm or forestry business

How you can protect your farming or forestry business from fraud and know what to do if you experience or suspect fraud.

Fraudsters may target farmers and landowners who receive grant payments with fake emails and text messages.

Attempted fraud

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) and the Forestry Commission are aware that some farmers may receive emails, texts and telephone calls claiming to be from them. The messages can include links to fake websites designed to look like an authentic RPA or Defra online service.

Genuine emails from RPA may include a link to the Rural Payments service to allow you to check your personal and business details are up to date.

Defra, RPA and the Forestry Commission will never send text messages with links to websites asking you to confirm your personal details or payment information. They will never ask you to make a payment over the telephone.

You may be invited to complete surveys via text message. These will include a link, but they will never ask for personal data or bank information.

If in doubt, call the Rural Payments helpline on xx-xxxx-xxxx Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5pm.

These are the main email addresses you should expect from Defra, RPA or the Forestry Commission:

What you should do

If you receive a suspicious email or text, do not open the link and delete the item.

If you receive a suspicious telephone call, do not discuss your bank account details or make a payment over the telephone with someone you do not know.

To protect yourself from fraud be cautious about what information you share externally, particularly on social media, and never share your passwords with anyone.
