CH229400 - How to do a compliance check: information powers: rules that apply to all notices: where the information is to be produced

This page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the technical guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

You should not normally need to specify where information or documents are to be produced. It is not an unreasonable assumption that they will be produced at your office address, to which they can be sent by post or by electronic means, or at the person’s business premises. The latter will be particularly suitable for bulky records, but it will depend on the circumstances of the case. If necessary, you can specify where the document should be produced but it cannot be at a place that is used solely as a dwelling.

Once the notice has been issued you should be prepared to agree to any reasonable suggestion about where and when the document is to be produced, including delivery to any HMRC office as an alternative to any agreed or specified place. But you should make it clear to the recipient of the notice that your discussions, whether conclusive or not, will not affect the time for compliance with the notice.

You must explain, and have a good reason, why a suggested time and place is not reasonable before specifying an alternative.

If the person is having difficulty getting the information or documents, you should discuss how it could be done. You should let them have more time if this seems reasonable.

If you require the original document, see CH229900 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch229900).

Although tax cases where Commissioners have given a ruling on the interpretation of previous legislation will not be authoritative in the interpretation of Sch36, FA08 or s118BA, CEMA79, you may refer to them as a general guide as to how the tribunal may think when considering similar situations in the use of, or compliance with, these powers.

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 Urgo Medical 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 Urgo Medical 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:
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
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.

UN Human Rights Council 58: UK Statement for the Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-19)

UK Statement for the Interactive Dialogue with the Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine. Delivered by the UK's Permanent Representative to the WTO and UN, Simon Manley.

Thank you, Mr Vice-President.

Welcome Commissioners. Your reporting has made clear that, for as long as Russia pursues its aggression against Ukraine, the Ukrainian people will be subject to immense suffering. We are of course shocked by your latest report, which lays bare Russia’s brutal treatment of detainees.

You conclude that Russia has committed torture, including sexual violence. And, for the first time, that enforced disappearances committed by Russia amount to a crime against humanity.

We are deeply disturbed by the systematic use of sexual violence against male detainees, and by new evidence of the war crimes of rape and sexual violence perpetrated against female detainees.

Detainees are subjected to abuses and, tragically, some have died. Their families are, understandably, in anguish.

This mistreatment is directed from the highest levels, pursuant to a coordinated Russian state policy. Evidence shows that Russian commanders gave orders to kill rather than take prisoners.

Commissioners, justice must be done.

We do, of course, encourage Ukraine to investigate fully your allegations against its authorities and armed forces.

But let there be no doubt: there is no equivalence between Russia and Ukraine. As a direct result of Russian aggression, Ukrainians across the country have faced violations and abuses of their right to life.

Russia must be held to account. We will stand with Ukraine for as long as this takes.

HAIRS risk assessment: mpox
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-20)

Qualitative assessment of the risk that mammalian pets exposed to monkeypox virus present to the UK population.

In May 2022, human-to-human transmission of monkeypox virus (MPXV) was observed in several non-endemic countries, including the UK.

During a previous mpox incident in the UK during 2018, a pet management process had to be swiftly implemented for one affected household, without conducting a risk assessment a priori.

As the numbers of affected households in the UK related to the 2022 outbreak rapidly increased, this warranted a thorough assessment of the risk posed by mammalian pets exposed to MPXV to people with whom they may subsequently have come into contact. Clade II mpox cases continue to be reported globally.

Since 2023, there have been growing outbreaks of clade I MPXV, affecting Central and East African countries. A travel-associated case of clade Ib mpox was detected in the UK on 30 October 2024. By 6 November 2024, 3 additional cases in the same household were reported. Two further, unrelated imported cases of clade Ib mpox (both with a travel history to Uganda) were reported on 6 November 2024 and 20 January 2025. It is possible that future incursions of clade I mpox may occur in the UK, which could result in household transmission where pets are present.

MTT55350 - Administration: Compliance: Discovery assessments and HMRC determinations: Notice of a discovery assessment
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


The discovery assessment is assessed as a separate charge and is not an amendment to the self-assessment return.

A notice of assessment must be given to the filing member, stating:
- the tax due,
- the date of issue, and
- the time limit for making an appeal against the assessment.
The amount of the discovery assessment will be the amount which, in the view of HMRC, should be charged to make up for the loss of tax.

Once a notice of assessment is given, the assessment cannot be altered except in accordance with the express provisions of paragraph 30, schedule 14 to Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Appeals

The filing member can appeal against the assessment. Please refer to MTT55500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt55500)+ for further guidance on appeals.

Protegimus Protection

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 Protegimus Protection 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 Protegimus Protection 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
- Discounts
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.

CHERI technology for cyber security
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-07)

CHERI is a semiconductor technology which improves cyber security. This page details government action to increase its adoption.

Memory safety bugs in software are repeatedly exploited by hackers to cause major security issues. Research from Google and Microsoft shows that 70% of ongoing cyber vulnerabilities are memory safety bugs. Incidents like the WannaCry attack in 2017 which caused $4 billion in damages, and the CrowdStrike outage in 2024 which caused a total of $5.4 billion in direct losses, highlight the severe risks these bugs pose to society, businesses and economies.

Recognising the impact of these costly cyber incidents have been due to memory safety bugs, over £80 million of UK government funding, alongside £200 million of industrial co-investment, has been invested to develop CHERI (Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions).

This new technology embeds security by design, significantly strengthening the security of digital systems. CHERI can significantly reduce cyber risks by mitigating memory safety bugs and improve the resilience of digital systems through improved compartmentalisation. This increased security and resilience can lead to higher productivity and efficiency across the economy, as businesses confidently adopt digital technologies.

The UK’s involvement in developing CHERI positions it as a leader in cyber security innovation. This leadership can drive further advancements and set new standards in secure system design. We recognise the potential of CHERI to deliver a secure and trusted digital economy for the UK. We are proud to harness expertise from partners across industry, academia and government to support work for the development and adoption of CHERI, and memory safe technologies, ensuring a move towards a more secure and resilient digital future.

Our next step is to transition this technology to commercial products, ready for adoption across the UK, delivering a significant advancement in innovative cyber security. Leveraging industry co-investment, we will partner with the CHERI Alliance, InnovateUK, the University of Cambridge and other stakeholders to drive this effort.

On 7 May 2025 the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) announced new work to drive the adoption of CHERI.

Please see the attached document for further details.
