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 The Monastery 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 The Monastery 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
We also pledge the following:

Offering support our local cadet units and Army Reserve Units at Belle Vue Manchester, in our local community or in local schools, where possible

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.

CIRD20290 - Reinvestment relief: computation: interaction with CG roll-over relief: hybrid claims
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-24)


TCGA92/S156ZB

As explained in CIRD20270 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird20270), a capital gain arising on the disposal of goodwill or the various types of agricultural and fishing quota within TCGA92/S155 on or after 1 April 2002 can attract:
- CG roll-over relief by virtue of the acquisition of new assets (tangible or intangible) before 1 April 2002 so long as it is within the period allowed for acquisitions prior to disposals (usually 12 months),
- reinvestment relief under CTA09/PART 8 by virtue of the acquisition of the replacement assets qualifying as chargeable intangible assets within CTA09/PART 8.
Such a capital gain can be deferred partly by virtue of the acquisition of the new assets within the CG roll-over relief rules and partly by virtue of expenditure on chargeable intangible assets within CTA09/PART 8 (see CIRD20035 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/corporate-intangibles-research-and-development-manual/cird20035)). For the purpose of CG roll-over relief expenditure qualifying for CTA09/PART 8 reinvestment relief is regarded as qualifying for CG relief and vice versa.Claims of this kind are referred to below as ‘hybrid claims’.It follows that where the relevant disposal takes place after March 2003 a hybrid claim will only be possible if the situation is one where the Board’s discretion to extend the 12 month period is exercised (see CG60300).

Report suspicious activity happening in your HMRC online account
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-11)

Find out how to report suspicious activity happening in your online account and keep your personal information safe from identity fraud.

Examples of suspicious activity

Signs to help you identify suspicious activity include:
- account access codes being sent to your phone when you have not tried to sign in
- not being able to access your online account because your password has been changed
- changes to your tax records you did not make
- letters or payments from HMRC you were not expecting
If someone has used your personal information to access your online account or make changes without your permission, it is identity fraud.

If you think someone has accessed your account, you should:
- report this immediately to HMRC
- change your online account password, if you still have access
Reporting suspicious activity

If you are an individual and still have access to your online account, you can sign in to HMRC online services (https://www.gov.uk/log-in-register-hmrc-online-services) and report suspicious activity from the security console. The security console is currently not available for agents to use.

Use the reporting form

You will need to provide:
- your National Insurance number
- an email address
- a contact number with preferred times to contact you
- details of the suspicious activity
Report now (https://tax.service.gov.uk/guidance/report-suspicious-activity-on-your-online-account)

Keeping your personal information safe

Do not share your National Insurance number with anyone who does not need it — this will help prevent identity fraud. Find out more about your National Insurance number (https://www.gov.uk/national-insurance) and examples of organisations who may need to know it.

UK Statement for the High-level Dialogue on the Human Rights Situation in the Central African Republic. This statement was delivered on 1 April 2025 during the 58th session of the HRC in Geneva.

Thank you, Mr President.

We welcome the Central African Republic’s continued cooperation with the Independent Expert. We also welcome recent steps that the country has taken to strengthen its human rights framework, including strengthened judicial independence, the adoption of legislation to protect human rights defenders, and progress on reforming the criminal code.

However, we remain alarmed at the increasing atrocities committed by Wagner group-trained militias, a key driver of the 26% increase of victims of human rights incidents recorded in the Secretary General‘s latest report. We urge the Central African Republic to investigate these reports and incorporate these militias into the formal disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration programme to prevent a resurgence in insecurity.

Mr President, as we stated in the Security Council in February, proxies directed by the Russian state plan to interfere with the country’s elections. We encourage authorities to address these malign threats and ensure elections are free, fair, and inclusive.

Mr. Agbetse, implementing the provisions of the 2019 political agreement is the only way to promote sustainable peace. How can the Central African Republic expand state authority while ensuring the inclusion of the signatories of the political agreement?

Thank you.

MTT15110 - Scope: Safe harbours: QDMTT safe harbour: Overview
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


A domestic minimum top-up tax is a tax that is imposed by a territory on entities located within that territory, which replicates the design of Pillar 2. These taxes are intended to ensure that top-up amounts which would otherwise be charged under Pillar 2 (potentially by a different territory) are always charged and collected by the territory where the entities are located.

Where a domestic minimum top-up tax provides sufficiently similar outcomes to Pillar 2, it will be deemed to be a qualifying domestic minimum top-up tax (QDMTT, referred to as qualifying domestic top-up tax in the legislation), by agreement at OECD level. This status affects how the tax is credited under the Pillar 2 computations (see MTT31020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt31020)).

Where a QDMTT meets further criteria, the QDMTT will also be accredited for the QDMTT safe harbour. Where a QDMTT is accredited, group members in the territory covered by the QDMTT may be treated, by election, as having no top-up or additional top-up amounts.

The safe harbour is “switched off” in particular cases relating to the design and application of the QDMTT. Where a switch-off applies, a group will not meet the criteria to make the safe harbour election for the relevant members in that territory.

Investment entities, minority owned members, and joint venture groups

The QDMTT safe harbour election is made separately for standard members, joint venture groups, investment entities and minority owned members.

See MTT15130 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt15130) for further guidance.

Thank you, Mr Vice President.

And thank you Special Rapporteur for your report and continued efforts to maintain international focus on the ongoing, systematic human rights violations in the DPRK.

We are pleased that the DPRK engaged with the Universal Periodic Review in November and encourage them to implement recommendations and make lasting changes for the people of the DPRK.

We share your serious concerns at the implementation of laws that further restrict the freedom of movement, work and expression in the DPRK.

All governments have a responsibility to uphold their obligations in line with UN Conventions and international law.

We also urge all Member States to respect the principle of non-refoulement and to not forcibly return those who have escaped the DPRK, where they face severe threats to their safety and human rights.

The UK supports the Special Rapporteur’s recommendation that the DPRK incorporate all sustainable development goals, particularly those aimed at supporting individuals from vulnerable groups.

Special Rapporteur,

How do you propose to work with the DPRK to increase access to disaggregated data to better identify the needs of the most marginalised individuals?

Thank you.

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 APCL 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;

- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers

We also pledge the following:

VATREVCON32100 - How the construction reverse charge works: Who needs to apply the construction reverse charge: Description of roles
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-02)


The construction reverse charge applies to supplies made between two businesses who are UK VAT-registered (or required to be), where the customer is a CIS contractor (including deemed contractors) required to report payments within the CIS. The CIS status (i.e. whether paid gross or net of deductions) of the supplier is irrelevant. Supplies for which payment is not required to be reported within the CIS are not subject to the construction reverse charge.

Contractors

A contractor is a business or other concern that pays subcontractors for construction work. Contractors may be construction companies and building firms (sometimes referred to as mainstream contractors), but may also be Government Departments, local authorities, and other types of business that are normally known in the industry as ‘clients’.

Non-construction businesses or other concerns (as set out in CISR12050 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/construction-industry-scheme-reform/cisr12050)) are counted as contractors for the purposes of the CIS if their expenditure on construction operations is £3 million or more in any rolling 12 month period. Under the CIS, any person carrying on a business, or defined body, whose expenditure on construction operations exceeds certain limits is known as a ‘deemed contractor’ (CISR61240 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/construction-industry-scheme-reform/cisr61240)). The construction reverse charge applies to deemed contractors in the same way as it applies to mainstream contractors.

Subcontractors

Subcontractors are those businesses that carry out building work, known as ‘construction operations’, for contractors within the United Kingdom.

Some businesses may act solely as contractors or as subcontractors, but many act as both. This means they pay businesses below them and receive payments from a main contractor above them in a chain.

For the purposes of the construction reverse charge, subcontractors can be both suppliers and customers. Contractors or deemed contractors will usually be customers, but may make an onward supply of the construction services they receive, in which case they will also be suppliers for the purposes of the construction reverse charge.
