BLM14005 - Lease accounting: finance lease accounting: finance lessors: Net investment in lease
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-28)


This manual is being updated to reflect FRS 102 (2024 amendments). For guidance on the tax treatment of accounts prepared under IFRS 16 or the revised FRS 102, please refer to pages within the BLM50000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm50000) chapter.

This section is applicable to entities applying FRS 102 pre 2024 amendments or FRS 105, and for lessors only under IFRS 16 and FRS 102 (2024 amendments).

See BLM17000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm17000) for lessee accounting under the on-balance sheet model under IFRS 16 and FRS 102 (2024 amendments).

A finance lessor's accounts show no physical asset in its balance sheet even though it owns the leased asset. Instead a finance lessor records the amount due from the lessee under a finance lease in the balance sheet as a debtor at the amount of the net investment in the lease (FRS102 (pre 2024 amendments) 20.17). This figure is the one that can be envisaged as the amount of the loan.

FRS 102 (pre 2024 amendments) defines the net investment in a lease as the gross investment in a lease discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. The gross investment in a lease is the aggregate of:

the minimum lease payments receivable by the lessor under a finance lease; and

any unguaranteed residual value accruing to the lessor.

The minimum lease payments are defined in BLM11010 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm11010).

The same principles apply for finance lease accounting for lessors under FRS 105, FRS 102 (2024 amendments) and IFRS 16.

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 Aquila Learning 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;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Aquila Learning 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
- 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.

One million people verify identity early ahead of Companies House changes
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-03)

Making the register a more trusted and transparent source of information supports a fairer and safer business environment.

From 18 November 2025, all new and existing company directors and people with significant control (PSC) will need to verify their identity with Companies House. This will provide more assurance about who is setting up, running, owning and controlling companies in the UK.

Making information on the company register more reliable is good news for business, users of the register and efforts to tackle economic crime.

We’ve designed our identity verification processes to be simple, secure and robust.

More than 1 million individuals have already verified their identity since we rolled out our identity verification service on a voluntary basis in April.

Companies House chief executive, Andy King said:

One million identities verified is an important milestone, but it’s only the beginning.

Identity verification will help make sure that the people setting up, running and controlling companies are who they say they are. This will make our data more reliable and less open to misuse, supporting a more transparent and trusted business environment.

There are 2 ways for individuals to verify their identity:
- directly with Companies House through GOV.UK One Login
- through an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) (https://changestoukcompanylaw.campaign.gov.uk/authorised-corporate-service-providers/)
The identity verification process can usually be completed in minutes. Verified individuals receive a personal code through the service.

From 18 November 2025, directors and PSCs will need to provide their personal code and a verification statement for each company role they hold.

The specific date for each director or PSC varies, so we are contacting companies directly with this information.

From 18 November, directors and PSCs will also be able to check the Companies House register to see identity verification due dates for all their roles.

The IA (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2025/49/pdfs/ukia_20250049_en.pdf) provides a reasonable assessment of the impact of introducing restrictions on three new POPs. It quantifies the main direct impacts on business from transitioning to alternative options, such as re-formulation, testing and familiarisation costs. While some areas could be strengthened, the IA overall demonstrates that the key costs and benefits have been considered appropriately.

The IA identifies and quantifies the direct impacts of the amendment regulations, considered in line with guidance. These total -£63 million (business net present value), with an equivalent annual net direct cost to business of £3.7 million, which appears to be estimated correctly. The IA explains clearly the assumptions and methodology used for calculating impacts. The estimates are supported by evidence from detailed stakeholder engagement, such as with trade associations, technical studies, and published sources where available.
We applaud Syria’s determination to ensure Assad’s chemical weapons programme is destroyed: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-05)

Statement by Caroline Quinn, UK Deputy Political Coordinator, at the UN Security Council meeting on Syria.

Let me start by welcoming the strong commitment of the Syrian government to turn the page of history. We applaud Syria’s determination to ensure once and for all that the Assad era chemical weapons programme is destroyed.

The UK is greatly encouraged by Syria’s operational and logistical support to the deployments carried out by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, including access to sites and people, and by Syria’s commitment to engage with the international community.

We also welcome the OPCW Technical Secretariat’s deployments to Syria in March and April. The persistence and professionalism shown by OPCW staff in Syria has been exceptional. As has the consistently high quality of the Technical Secretariat’s work on this important file in a very challenging technical environment.

Important progress has been made towards setting up OPCW offices in Syria and the collection and analysis of samples.

These are vital steps towards Syria’s full implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention and UN Security Council resolution 2118, which the Assad regime so flagrantly violated.

There is, however, President, much more work to do in a difficult operational environment.

Due to the secrecy and complexity of Assad’s illegal chemical weapons programme, the precise extent of the challenge ahead is still unknown.

Allow me to make three brief points.

Firstly, both the Syrian government and the OPCW will need to be operationally agile to address any proliferation or health risks found in inspecting sites of concern.

The OPCW’s role is vital. As mandated by the Chemical Weapons Convention and by resolution 2118, the OPCW must verify the Syrian-led declaration and destruction of any remaining elements of Assad’s chemical weapons programme.

Secondly, to achieve this, the OPCW will need technical, financial and logistical assistance from the international community.

The OPCW has provided States Parties with its estimated costs for its work in Syria.

The UK has already provided more than $1 million to the OPCW Syria Missions to support their immediate work and will look to provide further assistance.

We join High Representative Nakamitsu in encouraging others to also provide the necessary resources. In particular, President, we welcome Qatar’s role in representing Syria at the OPCW in The Hague.

Finally, military action by neighbouring states risks delaying OPCW deployments as well as the preservation of evidence at chemical weapons sites. We therefore urge Israel to de-escalate their actions in Syria.

President, we have a historic opportunity to rid Syria of Assad’s chemical weapons.

Let us do our part to support Syria and the OPCW, to enable the new Syrian government to finally close the file on the scourge of chemical weapons use, and on this dark chapter in Syria’s history.

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.

Research into how and why households use secondary heating sources, and how secondary heating use may change when switching to a different form of primary heating.

This research aims to better understand the use of secondary heating by households in the UK. The report sets out the main findings on:
- the factors underlying secondary heating use
- the frequency that UK households use a given type of secondary heating
- the factors affecting households’ likelihood of changing their secondary heating use
- how switching to a different type of primary heating would change households’ secondary heating use
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) commissioned Verian to carry out the research in 2024. It employed 45 in-depth interviews across a mix of household types in the UK.
