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 6point6 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 6point6 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
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.

New guidance on the final price adjustment
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-30)

We are consulting on new guidance on the Final Price adjustment (FPA), which allows excess profits or losses arising on a qualifying defence contract or qualifying sub-contract to be shared, rather than falling entirely to the contractor or the MOD.

Where cost over- or underruns occur on non-competitive defence contracts this can lead to excess profits or loss arising for the contractor. The FPA allows these profit and losses to be shared between the contracting parties rather than falling entirely to the contractor or the MOD. The Single Source Regulations Office is seeking views on its new guidance for contractors and the MOD on the FPA. This guidance will help contracting parties understand what the final price adjustment is, and when and how it can be applied.

The Procurement Act 2023 granted new powers to the SSRO to issue guidance in relation to the application or interpretation of any area of the law governing single source defence contracts: the SSRO is no longer confined to issuing guidance only on specific areas. The FPA is the first topic on which the SSRO is issuing guidance under these new powers, in response to MOD and industry feedback that it is an area requiring additional support and our first-hand experience providing advice on the topic. We frequently receive queries from contracting parties regarding the FPA, and the guidance is focused on helping parties to understand and navigate the process; addressing common questions; and enabling swifter and easier resolution of issues for both parties.

The SSRO has taken a new approach to developing this guidance by:
- Providing more real-world scenarios to assist user’s understanding and help with known common issues.
- Reducing the need to cross reference between multiple documents, such as the guidance and the Regulations.
- Improving signposting for how to access further information or assistance if you have further questions or need additional clarification.
The guidance will help contracting parties to understand:
- when a contract may be eligible for an FPA;
- the statutory timelines for an FPA, including when notification must be made to the other party;
- how calculate the amount of an FPA correctly; and
- how to resolve common issues and where to get help.
Responding to the consultation:

The consultation runs until 5.00 pm Thursday 14 November 2024. Written responses should be sent to:

xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) (preferred); or

BIM61245 - Leasing: avoidance: assets other than land: meaning of ‘commercial rent’
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-16)


S681C-S681CG Income Tax Act 2007, S863-S869 Corporation Tax Act 2010

The commercial rent for the purpose of the leased trading assets legislation is the rent, which at the time when the lease was created, might be expected to be paid, if:
- the lease were for the remainder of the anticipated normal working life of the asset,
- the rent were payable at uniform intervals and at a uniform rate, and
- the rent, having regard to the terms and conditions of the lease, afforded a reasonable return for the market value of the asset at that time.
Where the asset is not wholly used for trade purposes, the commercial rent is the rent that would be paid for the actual trading use.

Where the legislation applies, the taxpayer should be asked for their estimate of the commercial rent, supported by any available evidence. Any case in which the commercial rent cannot be agreed should be submitted to BAI.

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.

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.

UK subsidy control regime: statutory guidance
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-04)

Guidance for public authorities on their legal obligations when awarding subsidies.

This guidance provides a framework for designing and giving subsidies in a way that is consistent with the Subsidy Control Act 2022.

It is designed to help public authorities award subsidies in a way that minimises any negative impact on competition and investment, and to help ensure public money is used in an effective and efficient way.

August 2025 update

This version of the statutory guidance includes several minor amendments as well as the following changes:
- Subsidies and Schemes of Interest or Particular Interest (SSoPI) threshold in non-sensitive sectors amended from £10 million to £25 million to reflect new requirements as set out in the Subsidy Control (Subsidies and Schemes of Interest or Particular Interest) (Amendment) Regulations 2025 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2025/9780348272345)
- addition of a recommendation that public authorities maintain clear documentation of their assessment under the four-limbed subsidy test, particularly where there is ambiguity or uncertainty (Chapter 2)
- addition of a recommendation that public authorities should be cautious of citing other external materials when defining the eligibility criteria of a scheme, as these may change over time (Chapter 2)
- expanded commentary on the barriers to entry that may arise from asymmetric or imperfect information (Chapter 3)
- further clarification on the prohibition for awarding rescue and restructuring subsidies to ailing or insolvent enterprises, including the addition of a process diagram (Chapter 5)
- redrafting of the section on ‘Information to be uploaded’ to reflect the Subsidy Control (Subsidy Database Information Requirements) (Amendment) Regulations 2025 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2025/635/made#top) which removed a requirement for in-scheme awards to include the information required under regulation 3(p-x), such as whether the subsidy or scheme is a subsidy, or subsidy scheme, of particular interest (Chapter 12)
- further clarity on how indirect beneficiaries should be presented on the database (Annex 1, Annex 4)
If you would like a copy of a previous version of the statutory guidance, contact the Department for Business and Trade’s subsidy control team (mailto:%xxx@xxx.xx).

VAEC8650 - How to assess and correct: Assessment procedures: Processing completed VAT641
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-11)


For information about retired VAT systems, go to VAEC0150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-assessments-and-error-correction/vaec0150). For information about Making Tax Digital for VAT and ETMP processes, go to VAEC0200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-assessments-and-error-correction/vaec0200)

Once you have completed the VAT641 and it has been checked, you should capture the form to the trader’s folder in EF and forward (with a secure note attached) to the authorising officer.

The authorising officer will then look at case details in the penalty toolkit in SEES (until NPS becomes available) and EF, authorise the VAT641, update the secure note and forward to the VALID team for input.

N.B Information on capturing, attaching secure notes and forwarding documents in EF can be found in System guidance

The information which is keyed from this document will be transferred to the VAT Mainframe and processed overnight to update the trader's files.

However, before the file is actually updated, a number of checks are carried out and the document may be rejected. The errors that will cause the VAT641 to reject are detailed in the document (D0502 Print (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/gds/vaec/attachments/validrejectiond0502print.doc)) that is sent to the VALID team responsible for keying in the VAT641, who will return the original document for correction, or alternatively, it is possible to view the rejected input document via PRADA (Print Retrieval and Data Access).

The reason for the error will be given and the officer should forward a corrected version of the original VAT641 for VALID input

If the input passes these checks the computer will produce two copies of the VAT 655, Notice of Assessment, which is explained at VAEC8660 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-assessments-and-error-correction/vaec8660) to VAEC8690 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-assessments-and-error-correction/vaec8690).
