Defining and measuring the UK digital economy
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

A series of studies to develop a revised definition of the digital economy which meets DSIT’s policy needs.

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) is currently undertaking new research to define and measure the digital economy (DMDE), split into multiple phases of work.

Phase 1, completed in May 2024, focused on developing a definition and application framework, informed by an in-depth review of relevant literature, existing frameworks, and extensive stakeholder engagement.

Phase 2 work, completed in May 2025, uses the framework and recommendations from the Phase 1 work to implement a pilot test of the new definition across multiple economic measures.

Phase 1

This study was carried out by Technopolis for the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and involves the following key elements:
- assessment of existing definitions of the digital economy to capture the extent to which they meet UK stakeholder needs and international standards
- stakeholder consultation to develop a rigorous, comprehensive and measurable definition that meets stakeholder and user needs
- design of a measurement methodology setting out how the new definition of the digital economy will be operationalised
The methodology paper proposes the following revised statistical definition for the UK digital economy:

All economic activity derived from the production of digital content, ICT goods or ICT services.

Tier 1 of the digital economy refers to economic activity derived from firms that are primarily involved in the production of digital content and/or ICT goods and/or ICT services

Tier 2 of the digital economy refers to economic activity derived from diversified firms which produce digital content and/or ICT goods and/or ICT services as part of a broader diversified product or service offer and which have a higher level of digital intensity in their inputs than firms in the traditional economy

Phase 2

The Phase 2 work, delivered collaboratively by Cambridge Econometrics, The Innovation and Research Caucus, The Data City, and DSIT, uses the framework and recommendations from the Phase 1 work to:
- Identify and implement a new, overarching, Tier-based Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) definition of the digital economy, that allows comparability and consistency with national statistics and accompanying statistical products/datasets, and:
- Integrate a keywords-based approach (using The Data City’s Real-Time Industrial Classifications (RTIC) methodology) within this definition to identify subsectors/technologies (and associated groupings) within the digital economy not identifiable using SIC codes.
Using this new framework, the primary objective of the Phase 2 work has been to create an initial enterprise-level database and generate insights into the size and state of the UK Digital Economy.

VATREVCON46000 - Compliance issues: Impact of the reverse charge
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-02)


The impact of the reverse charge is that there is an expectation for some subcontractors to be in a VAT repayment position, either permanently or occasionally, therefore a subcontractor being in a repayment position should not in itself be considered an indicator of potential non-compliance.

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.

ECSH44575 - Annual premises fee
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-17)


When a business registers for anti-money laundering supervision, it must pay HMRC a registration fee for each business premises (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh44125), alongside any other supervisory fees due (such as approvals or fit and proper test fees). These fees must be paid annually.

If any new premises are added in the first 6 months after the fee is due, the full fee will need to be paid for these additional premises. For additional premises added less than six months before the next annual fee payment, 50% of the premises fee is due. All other fees such as fit and proper or approvals fees for new beneficial owners, officers or managers (BOOMs) must be paid in full.

If a premises is removed part way through the year, we will refund the business 50% of the premises fee if there is more than six months until its fees are next due. If the fees are due within six months, the premises fee is non-refundable.

Enterprise tax management platform (ETMP) sends out a secure communication (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh112000) to the applicant’s government gateway account advising the business that they should complete an annual refresh of information and advises the business of the fees due. The business must review the information on their business and submit an annual declaration and pay the annual fees within the timeframe specified. Reminders are sent out 28 days, 14 days and 7 days before the end of the month in which the fees and declaration are due.

Reminder notice not returned

A business’ registration will be cancelled if the business fails to complete their annual declaration refresh or pay their annual fees.

If the business submits annual declaration/refresh but fails to pay fees, the registration is automatically cancelled after one year if HMRC does not make a decision on the annual declaration/refresh. This is communicated to the business by an automatically generated secure communications.

Small business reduction

If the business can evidence a turnover less than £5,000, they can apply for a ‘small business’ reduction. See ECSH44725 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh44725) for more information.

Imported Hyalomma

Hyalomma ticks can vector pathogens of human and animal health importance. We monitor the importation of this species in the UK using our Tick Surveillance Scheme, along with research projects which look for ticks imported into the country on migratory birds. Our data show that Hyalomma marginatum ticks enter the country regularly on migratory birds. Another important species called Hyalomma lusitanicum also enters the country on imported animals, such as dogs.

You can report Hyalomma ticks to us using our Tick Surveillance Scheme (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/tick-surveillance-scheme).

Imported Rhipicephalus

Rhipicephalus ticks can vector pathogens of human and animal health importance. We monitor the importation of this species in the UK using our Tick Surveillance Scheme. Our data show that dogs, particularly those rescued from other countries, are a key source of imported Rhipicephalusticks coming into the UK.

You can report Rhipicephalus ticks to us using our Tick Surveillance Scheme (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/tick-surveillance-scheme).

Invasive mosquitoes

Aedes albopictus (Tiger mosquitoes) are established in many countries of Europe and are often moved into new regions via movement of adult mosquitoes in vehicles.

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 Anderson Black Executive Travel 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 Anderson Black Executive Travel 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
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- 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.

About us
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-06)

The UK Resilience Academy will provide learning and development to people leading and working in government and across the wider resilience sector.

Who?

The UKRA will be core to making resilience a ‘whole of society’ endeavour, providing learning and leadership including those working in central government departments, devolved governments, Local Authorities, Local Resilience Forums and Partnerships, the Voluntary and Community Sector and the Private Sector.

What?

The aim of the UKRA will be to encourage greater societal resilience by enhancing training and skills for the resilience community. We will do this through creating a collaborative ecosystem, refreshing and building on our current learning and skills offer, and strengthening the professionalisation of resilience. The UKRA will be the hub at the centre of a network of training providers and will provide learning opportunities and events to improve the knowledge and skills of people who work together to prepare the UK for the risks it faces.

How?

The UKRA will build ‘up and out’ of the current Emergency Planning College (EPC) supported by an extended partnership between the Cabinet Office and Serco, that will advance resilience learning and accessibility through off-site and online offerings until 2028. Using experience gained over 15 years, the UKRA will build a broader educational offer, mapped to refreshed National Occupational Standards for Resilience and Emergencies. The UKRA will also have a new Exercising Hub, to support the National Exercising Programme and encourage collaboration in exercising across organisations.

Why?

The risk landscape of the UK is constantly evolving, with more diverse risks than ever before. All emergencies that the UK may face have local impacts and every individual has a part to play in improving societal resilience. It is therefore crucial that people understand how they contribute to this, both as part of their role and as part of their community.

When?

The UKRA will launch in April 2025. In recognition of the evolving risk landscape, the UKRA will continually adapt.

Where?

The physical home of the UKRA will remain at the Hawkhills, in North Yorkshire, the current base of the EPC. While this will be the heart of the UKRA, it will develop its digital and offsite presence, to work with partners both online and at other locations across the UK.
