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 Armed Forces Community Support Hub (Devon) 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;

Platform design and the risk of online violence against women and girls
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-06)

A report investigating the impact of platform design on online violence against women and girls (VAWG).

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) commissioned this report in late 2022 to investigate the impact of platform design on online VAWG. Research shows that online VAWG is a growing problem and that there is a need to identify the gaps in the current understanding to support research and evidence gathering.

The report sets out to understand:
- how design features of online platforms and services can enable online violence against women and girls to happen
- how existing safety by design approaches can protect against the risk of online VAWG
- potential new design approaches to ensure safety for women and girls on online platforms and services
The report aims to:
- contribute to the evidence-building around online VAWG for an international audience
- support women and girls around the world to safely take part in and benefit from the liberties that online spaces can bring
Keeping women and girls safe online should be at the heart of platform design from the start, rather than as an add-on. As part of this, information on support that is available to victims should be a key part of the user journey, rather than simply part of general community guidelines.

The report highlights that there should also be an appreciation for the intersectionality of victim communities and the increased risk that some groups face, such as the LGBTQ+ community, women and girls who have disabilities, and/or are black or from ethnic minority and indigenous backgrounds.

While this report does not cover all aspects of online VAWG, we hope that the findings and practical recommendations encourage action from online platforms to adopt design approaches that better protect women and girls online.

For this to be realised there needs to be increased knowledge and data sharing between platforms regarding trust and safety to help construct a consistent and effective approach to tackling online VAWG.

COM1190 - Accounting periods: company accounting periods: superseding a AP, enquiry in progress
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-25)


Where the ‘enquiry in progress’ signal is set on an Accounting Period (AP) you may find that a return has been made for the wrong period and you need to amend the AP record to issue a closure notice with revenue amendment for what you believe to be the true AP. COM71060 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com71060) has detailed guidance that you must follow.

Before June 2002 it was possible to supersede an AP with a logged return where the ‘enquiry in progress’ signal was set to ‘Y’ on that AP. You may occasionally still find cases where this happened.

(This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)

You cannot supersede most APs with a logged return. However, you can supersede an AP with a logged return where a revenue amendment has been issued which has an open appeal.

See COM1021 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com1021) for a list of functions to use in particular situations.
TTM03515 - Qualifying companies and ships: Certification of ships
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)


Certification of ships

The legislation requires that a ship is seagoing which means it must be certificated for navigation at sea. A ship does not need any special form of certification to qualify for tonnage tax. This is not a question of tax law, but of merchant shipping legislation.

The question is whether the competent authority has issued a certificate in accordance with relevant merchant shipping legislation that allows the ship to operate lawfully at sea.

Certificates issued under international conventions

Ships undertaking international voyages need to be certificated under various international conventions. HMRC will accept that a ship is a seagoing ship if:
- it has an ‘International Load Line Certificate’, or an ‘International Load Line Exemption Certificate’ – the latter certificate is issued to an unconventional ship which is seagoing but for which a conventional load line my be inappropriate, e.g. a hydrofoil or hovercraft, or
- it has a certificate issued under the International Convention for the Safety of Lives at Sea (SOLAS), and has a Certificate of Compliance with the International Safety Management code, or
- the company has a Safety Management Certificate and each vessel has a Document of Compliance in accordance with the ISM code.
Certificates issued under domestic legislation

It is not a requirement for tonnage tax that qualifying ships are engaged in international traffic, but the position is more complicated for those that are not, as they are not necessarily covered by the international conventions. Their qualification as seagoing ships for the purposes of tonnage tax must be determined by reference to certificates that may be issued under domestic law. In the case of the UK this is the Merchant Shipping Acts.

Domestic certification must amount to certification for navigation at sea. In determining this it will be necessary to consider the extent to which ‘conditions’ or ‘plying limits’ imposed by the certificate restrict a ship’s scope for operating at sea.

Competent authority

In the case of the UK the competent domestic authority is the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) under the Merchant Shipping Acts. It issues certificates to vessels not covered by international conventions. See TTM03520 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm03520) and TTM03530 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm03530) for details of how MCA certification affects qualification for tonnage tax.

In cases of doubt or difficulty seek help from the Tonnage Tax Technical Adviser.

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

CTM07050 - Transfer of Deductions – loss Shifting: disallowance of deductible amounts for group relief, group relief for carried-forward losses or sideways loss relief
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


CTA10/S730C

When there has been a qualifying change in ownership, see CTM07020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm07020), of a company, company C, the loss shifting rules act to prevent relevant claims by company C for certain deductible amounts which were highly likely to exist at the date of transfer, CTM07030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm07030).

A relevant claim means a claim by company C or a company connected with company C for:
- sideways loss relief against total profits under CTA10/S37, group relief under CTA10/PART5/CHAPTER4, or
- group relief for carried-forward losses under CTA10/PART5A/CHAPTER3.
Where the following conditions are met the deductions are disallowed for the purposes of the relevant claim for an accounting period (AP) ending on or after the change in ownership:
- There is a qualifying change in ownership;
- On the relevant day (CTM07020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm07020)), it is highly likely that the amount, or any part of it, would be brought into account by company C, or any company connected with company C, in any AP ending on or after the relevant day (CTM07030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm07030)); and
- The purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the 'change arrangements' is to bring the amount (whether or not together with other deductible amounts) into account as a deduction in any AP ending on or after the relevant day, CTM07040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm07040).
However, the rules in CTA10/S730C do not affect any deductions which could have been claimed or brought into account in the absence of the qualifying change. For example, for relief of carried forward trading losses against subsequent trading profits of the same trade under CTA10/S45.

Where the claim is for group relief for carried-forward losses, those losses cannot be made up of amounts that were restricted deductible amounts in a previous AP. For the purposes of calculating this amount, assume that the most beneficial use has been made of the carried-forward losses.

Change Arrangements

'Change Arrangements' means any arrangements made to bring about, or otherwise connected with, the qualifying change, CTM07020.

Chair of the Committee on Standards in Public Life talks about the Committee’s new report, Recognising and Responding to Early Warning Signs in Public Sector Bodies.

In this short film, Doug Chalmers, Chair of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, talks about the Committee’s new report, Recognising and Responding to Early Warning Signs in Public Sector Bodies, to be published on 25 March 2025.

Our report is intended to help public sector leaders to get better at recognising emerging problems at the earliest possible stage, acting to address them, identifying the wider lessons to be learned and ensuring that those lessons are embedded fully within the organisation. The report brings together common themes that have emerged in recent public sector failures and offers practical insights and ‘points for reflection’ to help leaders think about the processes and culture in their organisation and consider whether improvements can be made.
