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 Sterling Personnel 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 Sterling Personnel 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.
Charity fundraising events: exemptions
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-18)

How your charity or not-for-profit organisation can check if a fundraising event qualifies for VAT exemption.

This guidance is for charities and qualifying bodies that raise money through fundraising events. It explains the conditions for direct tax and the VAT exemption that apply to fundraising events held on or after 1 April 2000.

It covers all fundraising events, including small scale events directly undertaken by charities and other qualifying bodies, as well as larger fundraising events organised by the trading subsidiaries of charities.

Revocation of the 2 GHz Mobile Satellite Services Regulations
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-06)

This consultation is seeking views on the proposed revocation of SI 2010/672 "The Authorisation of Frequency Use for the Provision of Mobile Satellite Services (European Union) Regulations 2010”.

In 2010, the UK implemented SI 2010/672 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/672) to authorise 2 Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) operators to use frequencies within the 2 GHz band for MSS operations, aligning with EU-wide decisions at the time. These licences expire on 13 May 2027.

As we approach 13 May 2027, the UK’s legal and regulatory framework needs to remain fit for purpose. The current legislation includes offence provisions that could restrict future use of the band once the licences expire. Therefore, we are consulting on plans to revoke SI 2010/672. This revocation will ensure the UK’s legal framework remains fit for purpose and enable Ofcom to authorise future use of the 2 GHz band under domestic law.

Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/services-information).

Destruction can be split into two distinct areas, total destruction whereby the goods are rendered totally unusable by any person and destruction of the original import goods which creates a secondary or residual product, for example the cutting up into rags of textile goods.

Because of the ever increasing environmental issues more and more companies are seeking ways in which goods intended for destruction can be recycled to generate a residual product for example paper, glass or tyres.) Where a secondary or residual product is created, the goods must be declared to free circulation and any customs debt applicable to the secondary/residual product is accounted for, see SPE15255 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/customs-special-procedures/spe15255) (there will be no liability to a customs debt where there has been a total destruction of the goods.)

Usual Forms of Handling (UFH) cannot be used to destroy goods as UFH is described in the code as forms of handling designed to improve their appearance or marketable quality or prepare them for distribution or resale. In most cases the destruction of goods should be carried out under Inward Processing.

CH403050 - Charging penalties: calculating penalties: introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-01)


This page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the technical guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

You should not attempt to calculate penalties manually but you should be familiar with how to calculate the amount of penalty to be charged. Although you will not do the calculations yourself you may have to explain the process to the person.

The penalty calculations are explained in
- CH73520 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch73520) to calculate a penalty for failure to notify
- CH82510 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch82510) to calculate an inaccuracy penalty
- CH63600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch63600) to calculate a penalty for failure to file within 12 months and withholding information about an IT liability
- CH62480 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch62480) and CH62500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch62500) where a failure to file penalty relates to a Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) return
- CH95550 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch95550) to calculate a penalty for a VAT or excise wrongdoing.
You should input the necessary information into National Penalty Processing System (NPPS), see CH407100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch407100). NPPS calculates the penalty and produces the penalty explanation letter NPPS1.

You will have to make an adjustment to an inaccuracy penalty if the person incurs an automatic failure to file penalty because the return was over 6 months or 12 months late, see CH404450 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch404450).

You will have to make an adjustment to a penalty for failure to file and withholding information to deduct the amount charged automatically after 12 months, see CH403321 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch403321).

UN Human Rights Council 60: UK Statement for the Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Cambodia
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-03)

UK Statement for the Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Cambodia. Delivered by the UK's Human Rights Ambassador, Eleanor Sanders.

Thank you, Mr Vice President, and thank you, Special Rapporteur.

We welcome Cambodia’s progress in healthcare, education, social protection and climate action. We reaffirm our support for its ambition for a smooth transition from Least Developed Country status in 2029.

However, we remain concerned about ongoing restrictions on civic space. Judicial harassment of opposition voices, human rights defenders and journalists undermines democratic principles. We are particularly concerned by the wide application of Article 495 of the Penal Code on incitement and its chilling effect on freedom of expression.

The UK is concerned by tensions along the Cambodia-Thailand border, and we support efforts to uphold the ceasefire, rebuild trust and address the humanitarian needs of affected communities.

We are deeply concerned by reports of trafficking and forced labour linked to the online scamming industry. We encourage stronger, more consistent law enforcement and victim support.

We also urge Cambodia to continue working towards the Special Rapporteur’s recommendations, including on strengthening judicial independence and enabling civil society to operate freely. Looking ahead to the next elections, inclusive dialogue and the participation of all stakeholders, will help build confidence and stability.

A vibrant press, active civil society and respect for freedom of expression will not only reinforce democratic principles, but also support Cambodia’s long-term prosperity and international reputation.

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 Defence and Innovation Systems Consultancy 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Defence and Innovation Systems Consultancy 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
We also pledge the following:

Details

Civil Service Statistics present detailed information on the Civil Service workforce. Data are sourced from all Civil Service organisations via the Annual Civil Service Employment Survey (ACSES).

These statistics count all home Civil Service employees. They exclude the Northern Ireland Civil Service, other Crown servants and employees of the wider public sector (for example, employees of non-departmental public bodies and the National Health Service). However, there are home Civil Service employees based in Northern Ireland and overseas.

Official statistics are produced impartially and free from political influence
