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.

Bus Services (No. 2) Bill:  RPC opinion (green-rated)
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-10)

The Regulatory Policy Committee’s opinion on the Department for Transport’s impact assessment in respect of the Bus Services (No. 2) Bill

The Bill makes provision about local and school bus services. The impact assessment (IA) (https://bills.parliament.uk/publications/57371/documents/5500) covers 21 individual measures, which aim to deliver the Government’s five-point plan for improving the bus network and consistency in local areas across the country: facilitate franchising; permit the establishment of new local authority bus companies; enhance the accessibility and safety of bus travel; modify the registration process for bus services; and reduce emissions from bus travel.

The Department has clearly identified the problems under consideration in detail, referencing the presence of four overarching market failures. The summary IA estimates a central NPSV of £723 million and a public sector financial cost of £722 million from the loss of fuel duty due to the shift to zero emission vehicles and increased spend through the Bus Service Operators Grant. The evaluation of the business impacts and the approach to monetisation seem appropriate and proportionate, with the Department providing NPV estimates totalling £292 million (central estimate).

The assessment of impacts on small and micro businesses is good, and the IA provides a satisfactory plan for monitoring and evaluation.

ERSM165100 - International from 6 April 2025: Impact of Finance Act 2025 Changes
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


Part 2 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA)

The Finance Act 2025 brought significant changes including the abolition of the remittance basis and reform of Overseas Workday Relief (OWR).

From 6 April 2025, the remittance basis will no longer be available. OWR will be retained but will operate differently.

Where an employee is eligible for the Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime in a tax year (“the qualifying year”), OWR maybe available on their relevant qualifying foreign employment income.

The legislation covering OWR for new residents on foreign employment income is contained in Chapter 5C ITEPA.

This impacted the tax treatment of Internationally Mobile Employees under Chapter 5B ITEPA.

From 6 April 2025, for all Employment-Related Securities and Employment-Related Securities options the calculation of “Foreign Securities Income” under Chapter 5B ITEPA will be modified for any part of the relevant period that falls on or after this date, regardless of the date the ERS were granted.

For any part of the relevant period from 6 April 2025, OWR is no longer given as a deduction from Securities Income under the calculation at s41F(3) ITEPA. Instead, customers may be able to make an election and claim for OWR separately under Chapter 5C ITEPA. Please see EIM4355 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim43555)onwards.

Commencement

The Finance Act 2025 reforms set out in this guidance apply to any part of the relevant period on or after 6 April 2025, regardless of the date the right or opportunity was granted.

Any parts of the relevant period before 6 April 2025 are unaffected by these changes.
NIM12030 - Class 1: Calculating Class 1 NICs for Directors: Annual earnings periods: Examples: Regular salary and personal expenses paid
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-05)


Regulation 8 Social Security (Contibutions) Regulations 2001 (SSCR 2001) (SI 2001 No 1004)

Director receives salary of £2,000 on 28th of each month from April 2025. The Company pays for various living expenses of £500 monthly (paid at the same time as salary) and also for an extension to the director’s house costing £28,000 and paid 15 June 2025. The expenses and extension are all the pecuniary liability of the director. Cumulative NICs shown but the amount payable in any month is the cumulative total less any amounts previously paid.

If the employer had contracted with the utility companies, builder and so on to provide the services leading to the expenses, the liability is Class 1A rather than Class 1. The Class 1 earnings would then be £2,000 monthly and the thresholds reached on different dates. The first payment of earnings for secondary NICs is June (£6,000 cumulative salary), with the first payment for primary NICs being October (£14,000 cumlative salary). If the employer decides to ‘pay on account’ (NIM12026 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim12026)) Class 1 NICs are due from the first month and the employer adjusts the final payment at the end of the year to ensure the same amount of NICs is paid as in the example.

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 BCA 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 BCA 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 Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
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.

When there are unexplained variations between amounts recorded in the system and physical stock, adjustment of records is necessary. It applies to unexplained variations so the warehouse keeper should have investigated the cause of the variation beforehand. You will need to ensure that the discrepancy has not been caused by a weakness in the warehouse keeper's system and controls.

Platform Operators (POs) will need to register as a digital platform operator (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/register-to-carry-out-digital-platform-reporting) and will need to have made a notification that they are a Reporting Platform Operator (RPO).

If you have already registered to the reporting service, you can submit your digital platform report (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/manage-your-digital-platform-reporting) on GOV.UK.

RPOs will need to report to HMRC by uploading an XML file. Reporting will follow the XML schema that has been developed and published by the OECD. You can create a digital platform report (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/digital-platform-reporting-xml-schema-and-supporting-documents) on GOV.UK.

HMRC validation processes will ensure that submissions follow the schema rules (e.g. that mandatory fields have been completed, and that where formats are specified e.g. for dates or numerical values, that these have been followed). Where the validation processes are failed, the user will be notified, so that they can correct the errors and resubmit a corrected version.

Users will not be required to encrypt files before uploading. The system will encrypt the file at submission once the validation processes have been successfully completed.
