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 Adams and Green 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 Adams and Green 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:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- Armed Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

We will continually support our local network including Hull for Heroes.

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 report sets out technology and research needed to reach net zero
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-20)

A new report identifying the research and technology needed to meet the UK’s net zero target has been released.

Developed by the Government Office for Science, the Net Zero Technology Outlook sets out a ‘best estimate’ of the technology mix needed in key emitting sectors to reach net zero by 2050, and identifies the research and development (R&D) needed to get there.

In support of the government’s Clean Energy Superpower Mission, this Outlook offers an independent analysis of the technologies the UK must prioritise by 2050 to deliver on its net zero commitments. It is a tool for policymakers and the research community, pinpointing where targeted R&D investment can have the greatest impact and accelerate progress. By providing clear, evidence-based insights, the report equips decision-makers with the confidence to make informed choices that will shape the UK’s net zero future.

By showing the way forward on research and technology around net zero, the Outlook supports the government’s mission to back homegrown energy technology to grow the economy, create jobs, boost skills, and strengthen energy independence.

Government Chief Scientific Adviser Professor Dame Angela McLean said:

The UK faces one of the most important challenges of our time – climate change – and we need brilliant ideas and innovations to help tackle it. The Net Zero Technology Outlook is our best estimate of the future when it comes to the technology, research and development needed to reach net zero. I hope policymakers and researchers alike will use this report as a guide for their work to help ensure the best possible outcome on our path towards that target.

The report covers 18 sub-sectors within 5 major emitting sectors:
- industry
- transport
- heat and buildings
- agriculture, land use and waste
- power
For each sub-sector, the uncertainty and current technology and market readiness level of technologies that might be part of the mix in 2050 have been assessed. Some sub-sectors include ‘wildcard’ technologies: novel and nascent technologies that are highly uncertain but potentially transformative.

The analysis drew on more than 20 interviews and a peer review exercise with around 45 experts from the research community, as well as input from relevant government departments. Relevant information from established scenario modelling, policy documents, and industry sources was also incorporated.

The report also sets out R&D challenges for 3 cross-cutting technology strands: greenhouse gas removals and carbon capture and storage, hydrogen and biomass. R&D needs for each sector are categorised by technology development, delivery and policy support.

To learn more about the technologies and R&D that will drive the UK towards its net zero target, read the full Net Zero Technology Outlook report (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/net-zero-technology-outlook-report).

CTM20055 - ACT: General: Distributions
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


ACT ('Advance Corporation Tax') was abolished for all distributions made on or after 6 April 1999. The guidance at CTM20000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm20000) onwards explains the position before 6 April 1999.

Companies may still obtain relief for unrelieved surplus ACT as at 6 April 1999. There is guidance on this in the section on 'shadow ACT' at CTM18000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm18000) onwards.

Before 6 April 1999, a company resident in the UK had to account to the Revenue for ACT calculated by reference to the amount or value of any qualifying distributions, CTM20070 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm20070), made by it. Even companies that were exempt from CT or had a nil CT charge had to account for ACT.

FID ('Foreign Income Dividends') and other qualifying distributions were dealt with separately.

Franked investment income was set against franked payments, while FID received were set against FID paid. The FID provisions are dealt with at CTM21000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm21000) onwards.

As regards
- the effect of franked investment income or FID received on the amount of ACT the company had to pay, see CTM20060 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm20060) and CTM21220 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm21220),
- group income elections under ICTA88/S247 (1) by companies to pay dividends other than FID to certain other companies without having to account for ACT, see CTM80070 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm80070),
- the machinery for collecting ACT in ICTA88/SCH13, see CTM22000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm22000) onwards.

Terms of reference for the independent investigation into maternity and neonatal care in England.

Baroness Amos published her Reflections and initial impressions (https://www.matneoinv.org.uk/news/independent-investigation-into-maternity-and-neonatal-services-in-england-reflections-and-initial-impressions/) on the investigation on 9 December 2025. The final report and recommendations will be published in spring 2026.

Future updates on the investigation will be published on the National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation website (https://matneoinv.org.uk/).

In light of new developments since the list of 14 NHS trusts for local independent investigations was announced in September, Baroness Amos has removed 2 NHS trusts from the investigations list:
- Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has been removed due to the separate maternity inquiry announced by the Secretary of State
- Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust has been removed following recent discussions with West Mercia Police about the detail and schedule of their ongoing investigation
The independent investigation will launch a call for evidence soon and the panel have encouraged Shrewsbury and Telford and Leeds families to participate.

On 23 June 2025 the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care announced a rapid, national, independent investigation into NHS maternity and neonatal services.

Baroness Amos was appointed as Chair of the Independent Maternity and Neonatal Investigation on 14 August 2025. The investigation will look at individual services across the country alongside reviewing the maternity and neonatal system, bringing together the findings of past reviews into one clear national set of actions to ensure every woman and baby receives safe, high-quality and compassionate care.

Following the conclusion of the investigation Baroness Amos will deliver one clear set of national recommendations, with interim recommendations delivered in December 2025.

Overview of VAT on Low-Value Imports
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-16)

Information of VAT on Low-Value Imports.

From January 1, 2021, the UK implemented changes to its VAT regulations for low-value imports. Notably, the VAT exemption for goods valued under £15 was abolished. Consequently, all goods imported into the UK are now subject to VAT, regardless of their value. More information can be found at Changes to VAT treatment of overseas goods sold to customers from 1 January 2021 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/changes-to-vat-treatment-of-overseas-goods-sold-to-customers-from-1-january-2021/changes-to-vat-treatment-of-overseas-goods-sold-to-customers-from-1-january-2021)

Sellers who dispatch goods valued at £135 or less to UK customers, as well as online marketplaces that facilitate these sales, must register with HMRC and charge UK VAT at the point of sale. More information can be found at Selling goods using an online marketplace or direct to customers in the UK (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/selling-goods-using-an-online-marketplace-or-direct-to-customers-in-the-uk). For consignments valued over £135, VAT is collected at the point of import, and customs duties may also be applicable.

Cyber Growth Action Plan 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-19)

Final report and terms of reference for the Cyber Security Growth Action Plan.

The Cyber Security Growth Action Plan is an independent report commissioned by government from Bristol University and Imperial College London. It aims to turbocharge growth in the UK’s cyber sector and unlock more jobs, support innovation, and drive forward delivery of the government’s Plan for Change (https://www.gov.uk/missions).

The action plan was published on 19 September 2025.

The terms of reference published here in June 2025 set out the initial scope of the work - see the June 2025 press notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-plans-to-supercharge-uk-cyber-sector) for further information. The plan was led independently by experts at Bristol University and Imperial College London. It examined the strengths of the UK’s cyber sector and provides a roadmap for its future growth. This resulted in a set of recommendations to government in September 2025 which can be seen in the final report.

The independent review covers the supply and demand of cyber goods and services such as protective monitoring and encryption, aiming to understand opportunities for growth. The research aimed to spot new trends and potential areas to capitalise on – as well as exploring emerging technologies including AI and Quantum, and identifying opportunities to strengthen Britain’s competitive edge.

The government is considering the report and will respond formally via the forthcoming National Cyber Strategy, ensuring the UK remains resilient and competitive in an increasingly interconnected world.

The UK cyber security sector

The UK cyber security sector is strong and growing, with annual revenue of £13.2 billion generated, up 12% on the previous year last year. The sector directly employs 67,300 people, up 11% since last year, an increase of around 6,600 jobs. A total of 143,000 people work in cyber security jobs across the wider economy, a 5% increase from the previous year. There are also 74 new cyber security firms, bringing the total to 2,165, up 3.5% from 2,091 last year.

EIM23100 - Car benefit: meaning of car
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-10)


Section 115(1) ITEPA 2003

A car is a mechanically propelled road vehicle that is not:
- a goods vehicle (a vehicle of a construction primarily suited for the conveyance of goods or burden of any description):
- this will include most commercial vehicles such as lorries, pick-up trucks or vans. For vehicles that have been permanently and substantially modified to change their construction to one primarily suited for the conveyance of goods or burden (see EIM23115 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim23115) onwards). There is guidance on multi-purpose vehicles at EIM23145 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim23145) and double cab pickups at EIM23150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim23150).
- note that the test is of construction, not use.
- a vehicle that escapes from being a car for car benefit purposes by this route will be treated as a van (see EIM22700 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim22700), unless it is large enough to be a heavy goods vehicle (see EIM22300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim22300) onwards).
- a vehicle of a type not commonly used as a private vehicle and unsuitable to be so used:
- this will obviously apply to a specialised vehicle, such as a bus. But it may also include outwardly conventional vehicles that have been modified in some way. Further guidance on this point is at EIM23125 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim23125) onwards.
- the benefit of the use of a vehicle that escapes from being a car for car benefit purposes by this route will be taxed under the general benefit rules on use of an asset (see EIM21615 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim21615) onwards):
- a motor cycle as defined in Section 185(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1988
- an invalid carriage as defined in Section 185(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
EIM23110 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim23110) is designed to be issued to taxpayers wanting guidance on the difference between cars and vans for tax purposes.

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 Instead Senior Care Oxford 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 Instead Senior Care Oxford 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 Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
