Sellafield Ltd Annual Review of Environmental Performance 2024/25
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)

This review provides information on the environmental impacts of Sellafield Ltd activities, monitored and assessed over the last 12 months.

This review includes information on our carbon footprint, non-radiological environmental impacts, radiological dose, impacts on groundwater and management of solid waste.

The key points are:

radioactive discharges (aerial and liquid) were well below the permitted limits and were generally lower than those in 2023.

this report also includes estimated radiological doses to members of the public. It concludes that doses, even to the most exposed group, remain very low and much lower than the public dose limit for exposure to artificial radiation.

direct carbon emissions are in the region of 171,000 tonnes of CO2e, an estimated 41% below our Carbon Management Plan ‘business as usual’ trajectory.

we continue to manage our routine groundwater monitoring programme alongside an enhanced programme of monitoring in support of our Magnox Swarf Storage Silo leak management plan.

All statutory monitoring and reporting requirements were delivered in accordance with permits, including monitoring of local beaches and the ongoing collation, analysis and reporting of waste discharge and disposal data that underpins our environmental performance.

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 Home Group 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 Home Group 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
- Discounts
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.
Added value calculation of duty for Rate of Yield
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-30)

Information on added value calculation of duty for Rate of Yield.

Not applicable under TCTA in GB – applies under Union Custom Code in Northern Ireland

Under this method, duty is charged on the costs of processing the exported goods and transporting the processed products back to the UK. The duty rate applicable is the rate which applies to the processed products. To apply this method, the person must:
- calculate the customs value of the imported products using one of the valuation methods
- deduct from this the value of the exported goods used in the manufacture of the processed products, applying the agreed rate of yield as appropriate account for duty on the difference between the two values, at the rate which applies to the imported processed products
Example of ‘Added Value’ duty relief calculation

All the exported goods, woven woollen cloth, are used to produce one type of processed product, men’s suits liable to a 13% rate of customs duty which are all re-imported into the UK at the same time in a single consignment. The value of the processed product is based on the price paid or payable for the goods, determined using customs valuation methods

‘Added Value’ method of calculating duty

Example of Customs value of processed products based on the built-up value.

Value of exported cloth = £5,000.00

Cost of process = £2,400.00

Freight and insurance (from processing country to the UK) = £484.62

Total customs value of the suits = £7,884.62

LESS: Value of exported cloth = £5,000.00

‘Added Value’ on which duty is due = £2,884.62

Duty due at 13% = £375.00

Source: gov.uk (2025-09-08)


The Parliamentary Ombudsman (also known as the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration) investigates complaints of maladministration leading to injustice by government departments and certain public bodies. The Ombudsman is an officer of Parliament and can only look into complaints referred through Members of Parliament with the consent of the person who made the complaint.

Information which can be disclosed

In investigating complaints, the Ombudsman has the same powers as a court of law to examine witnesses and obtain documents. They may require Ministers or officials to furnish information or supply documents relevant to an investigation. No obligation to secrecy or other restriction can be applied on behalf of the Crown to prevent disclosure of information for the purposes of an investigation (except that the Ombudsman is specifically excluded from obtaining information relating to Cabinet proceedings).

Legislation which allows disclosure
- Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967.
Procedure to follow

The Ombudsman should make all requests for information through HMRC’s Complaints Management Team. If the Ombudsman approaches you directly, you should contact the Complaints Management Team immediately. See IDG80100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/information-disclosure-guide/idg80100) for contact details.

Further guidance

Further information about the Ombudsman can be found in Policy Making Guidance: Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration. See IDG80300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/information-disclosure-guide/idg80300).

Workforce management information, 2024

Data showing the number of staff employed at different grades in the Home Office, our agencies and executive non-departmental public bodies.

The data is broken down by headcount and number of posts (full-time equivalents). The report includes the number of non-payroll staff, and the pay bill costs relating to staff, broken down into component parts (for example, salaries, allowances, and employer’s pensions contributions).

Data from 2010 onwards (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/structure-and-salaries-series) is also available.

Notes to accompany the monthly workforce management information

These figures are not official statistics. They are internal workforce management information published in the interests of transparency.

These figures have not been reconciled centrally with any national statistics. Where differences appear between the monthly information and national statistics, clarifying comments will be provided. The Office for National Statistics quarterly public sector employment statistics provide an official headline measure for comparing the overall size of employment in central government organisations with other sectors of the economy at the relevant quarterly reference point.

Some organisations may not have information available for each month, and at this stage coverage may therefore not reach 100% for those organisations in scope.

Given the wide range of organisations covered, caution should be exercised when drawing inferences from the figures and care should be taken when making comparisons between organisations. Users should refer to the additional commentary and notes.

Action guide contents

If, having refused a request for a direction under regulation 9(5) ‘Condition B’, the contractor immediately supplies you with evidence suggesting that the refusal is not soundly based; CIS FLT will determine whether the position has changed. However, you cannot keep re-visiting the claim to see whether the subcontractor(s) involved have now satisfied regulation 9(5) ‘Condition B’, and you should look to making a regulation 13(2) determination to collect the deduction due that the contractor should have made , or including the amount in a Class 6 settlement.

Later requests

If a regulation 9(5) ‘Condition B’ direction is refused the contractor has to pay the amount that should have been deducted either by way of a regulation 13(2) Determination or a Class 6 settlement.

If a Class 6 settlement has been negotiated and agreed, the Class 6 settlement cannot be re-opened at some later date. If by that date the subcontractors have now paid their tax and Class 4 NIC, or corporation tax, and the requirements of Regulation 9(5) ‘Condition B’ are now met. By agreeing to the Class 6 Settlement the contractor has entered into a legally binding contract, part of (or the whole of) which can only be set aside in the limited circumstances set out in the guidance at EM6413.

Source: gov.uk (2025-06-05)


Section 8 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (SSCBA 1992)

NICs are paid at the same rate by those who are included in the New State Pension, following the ending of contracting-out of the State Second Pension (State Earnings Related Pension Scheme (SERPS) before 6 April 2002) on 5 April 2016.

The primary contribution element (see NIM01001 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim01001)) is payable at a reduced rate for certain married women and widows.

Section 8 SSCBA 1992 provides that for the tax year beginning 6 April 2011 onwards:
- the main primary percentage is 12% and
- the additional primary percentage is 2%.
Section 5 of the Health and Social Care Levy Act 2021 provided that for the 2022 to 2023 tax year only, section 8 should be read as if:
- the main primary percentage is 13.25% and
- the additional primary percentage is 3.25%.
The change under section 5 was repealed for payments of earnings made on or after 6 November 2022, see NIM01600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim01600) for more information about the 2022 to 2023 tax year.

Section 1 of the National Insurance Contributions (Reduction in Rates) Act 2023 provides that from the 6 January 2024 onwards, section 8 is amended so that:
- the main primary percentage is 10%.
- the additional primary percentage is 2%
A different rule applies for directors in the 2023 to 2024 tax year. See NIM01625 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim01625) for more information about the 2023 to 2024 tax year.

Section 1 of the National Insurance Contributions (Reduction in Rates) Act 2024 provides that from 6 April 2024 onwards, section 8 is amended so that:
- the main primary percentage is 8%.
- the additional primary percentage is 2%
This rate also applies for directors from 6 April 2024.

TSEM3461 - Trust income and gains: vulnerable beneficiaries: claims to special tax treatment - when treatment does not apply
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-18)


Settlor Interested

The special tax treatment cannot apply in respect of income tax in any tax year where the settlor is taxed on the income because they have an interest in the property.

Capital Gains Tax

The special tax treatment cannot apply in respect of capital gains tax in any year where the trustees would not be chargeable to capital gains tax in respect of those gains. For the years 2004-05 to 2007-08, this includes cases were the settlor has an interest in the property such that gains are chargeable on the settlor. See CG35510 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg35500).

Year of death

The special tax treatment cannot apply in respect of CGT for the tax year in which the vulnerable person dies. It can apply in respect of income tax for that year but the election is in force only till the date of death.

Residency of trustee

The special tax treatment cannot apply in respect of CGT for 2004-05 and 2005-06 unless the trustees are resident in the UK during any part of the tax year or ordinarily resident in the UK during the tax year.

Income belonging to beneficiary

In many trusts all the income belongs to the beneficiary. If the beneficiary is liable at basic rate on the trust income the claim has no effect for income tax but may bring benefits for CGT.

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 Matcon 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 Matcon 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

Promote the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces community to our staff, customers and suppliers via a dedicated page on our internal and external websites and adding relevant logos to our email footer. Organise, facilitate, promote and take part in remembrance day ceremonial activities.

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.

Estimating the benefits of natural flood management
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-13)

This project proposes a new simplified national-scale approach to estimate the economic benefits of natural flood management projects.

Documents

Natural flood management benefits estimation method - research report (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/689c5abc87bf475940723edb/FRS23248_Research_report.pdf)

Summary

Natural flood management (NFM) comprises a range of nature-based solutions aimed at restoring natural hydrological processes to manage flood and coastal erosion risk.

These measures include:
- woodland planting
- leaky barriers
- floodplain reconnection
- run-off attenuation
- peatland restoration
Many NFM projects are low-cost and led by communities. However, they often face challenges in securing funding. This is because traditional modelling methods used to estimate economic benefits can be expensive and complex. This new approach aims to address this by demonstrating a proportionate and consistent approach to estimating the economic benefits of NFM projects.

The method draws directly on the best available evidence and latest scientific understanding and allows for future refinement as new data and monitoring evidence become available.

It incorporates new insights from:
- the updated Working with natural processes (WWNP) evidence directory (https://www.gov.uk/flood-and-coastal-erosion-risk-management-research-reports/working-with-natural-processes-to-reduce-flood-risk-2024)
- the Natural Environment Research Council’s (NERC) NFM programme (https://www.ukri.org/who-we-are/how-we-are-doing/research-outcomes-and-impact/nerc/driving-policy-innovation-over-decades-natural-flood-management/)
- the Environment Agency’s latest National Flood Risk Assessment (NaFRA) (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-assessment-of-flood-and-coastal-erosion-risk-in-england-2024/national-assessment-of-flood-and-coastal-erosion-risk-in-england-2024) which provides information on flood risk and associated flood damages
- the Environment and Historic Environment Outcomes Valuation (EHOV-Lite) tool (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/environment-and-historic-environment-outcomes-valuation-guidance) to estimate environmental benefits
