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 Maritime Archaeology Sea Trust 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 Maritime Archaeology Sea Trust 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
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Offering a discount to members of the Armed Forces Community for our Basic Archaeological Diver (BAD) course Helping to raise funds, where possible, through charitable works

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.
AAIB Annual Safety Review 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-12)

The AAIB Annual Safety Review 2024 has been published. It includes information on occurrences and the safety action taken or planned in response to AAIB investigations concluded in 2024.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has published its Annual Safety Review which provides an overview of occurrences notified to the AAIB in 2024 as well as the safety action taken or planned in response to AAIB investigations concluded in 2024.
- The AAIB received 762 occurrence notifications (compared to 790 in 2023) and opened 20 field investigations. A further 57 investigations were opened by correspondence.
- The AAIB provided support to 53 new overseas investigations where there was a UK interest.
- There were 10 investigations into fatal accidents which involved 11 deaths. All involved General Aviation (eight light aircraft, two gliders).
- In 2024, the AAIB published final reports on 36 field investigations and 65 correspondence investigations and 160 record only investigations.
- The Branch made 20 Safety Recommendations and 103 significant Safety Actions were taken proactively by the industry in 2024 as a direct result of AAIB investigations.
The Annual Safety Review also contains an article on the categorisation of events reported on by the AAIB in 2024, it highlights some of the safety themes emerging from investigations into passenger transport events, GA fatal accidents and UAS events reported to AAIB in 2024.

Crispin Orr, Chief Inspector of Air Accidents said “Commercial aviation remains one of the safest forms of public transport, with global accident rates continuing their long-term decline. Nevertheless, major accidents in Japan, Brazil, Kazakhstan, and the Republic of Korea in 2024 serve as a sobering reminder that safety must never be taken for granted. Thorough investigations into accidents and serious incidents continue to be needed to uncover remaining vulnerabilities.”

Further comments from the Chief Inspector of Air Accidents can be found in the report foreword.

MTT33120 - Calculating top-up amounts: Additional top-up amounts: Additional top-up amount where covered taxes are less than expected - Election to carry forward
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


An election can be made under section 205 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023 to carry forward a collective additional amount of a group, where the collective additional amount arose as a result of covered taxes being less than expected.

Some or all of the collective additional amount can be carried forward until a period where the members have a positive figure in the adjusted profits.

This allows a group to avoid being charged an amount of tax in a period in which it has negative adjusted profits.

An election under section 205 is an annual election. See MTT52200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt52200)for guidance on making an election.

Effect of an election

When the election is made:
- the collective additional amount for the current period is reduced by the qualifying amount, and
- the qualifying amount is to be subtracted from the combined covered tax balance for the standard members of the group in that territory in the next accounting period in which the members of the group in the territory do not have a collective loss when determining the adjusted profits.
Qualifying amount

The 'qualifying amount' is:
- the collective additional amount,
less
- the amount of any deferred tax asset deemed to arise under section 217(7) for the period (see MTT25300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt25300)).

COM90001 - Payments: processing payments: introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-08)


A company must calculate its liability to CT and pay the appropriate amount to HMRC by the normal due date (see Glossary) or, for a quarterly instalment payment (QIP) case, the instalment due date. See COM90025 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com90025#) for more information.

Acceptable methods of payment

From 1 April 2011, all companies must pay their Corporation Tax and CT-related liabilities electronically for any accounting period. Related liabilities include interest charges on overdue CT and penalties for not filing CT returns on time. An electronic method of payment includes the following:
- Bacs
- CHAPS
- payments made at a bank
- Direct Debit
- direct payment, which is payments made by the internet or over the telephone
- Bill Pay
- debit card
- credit card

You can see details of payments and other accounting postings credited to a COTAX record using function VPPD (View Payment and Posting Details).

Where it is not possible to allocate a company tax payment to the intended Accounting Period (AP), it is allocated to the company’s suspense record.

Companies can also use a Certificate of Tax Deposit (CTD) in settlement of COTAX liabilities, but these must have been purchased before 1 October 1993 and they are therefore rare. From 23 November the CTD scheme is closed and it is no longer possible to purchase new certificates, but existing certificates will continue to be honoured until 23 November 2023. It is important that if you receive a CTD you deal with it immediately and follow the guidance in the Debt Management Manual at DMBM201110 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/debt-management-and-banking/dmbm201110).

Receipts

To reduce costs, we only issue a receipt for payment where the taxpayer or agent specifically requests one or, exceptionally, where you have accepted a payment in cash.

Other IT systems which handle CT payments

SAFE handles payments for:
- all APs ending before 1 October 1993
- S419 Income and Corporation Tax Act (ICTA) 1988 and S747 charges for APs ending on or before 30 June 1999
- common non-COTAX assessment types listed at COM23133 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com23133)
Movement of Money Service (MOMS) handles payments for overpayments allocated to OAS.

VATREVCON37200 - How the construction reverse charge works: Invoices: Self-billing
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-02)


Under a VAT self-billing arrangement the customer issues the invoice on behalf of the supplier for the supplies they have bought and received from the supplier. The reverse charge does not affect the self-billing procedure itself. In this situation, it is the responsibility of the business issuing the self-billed invoice to apply the revised accounting procedure.

If the reverse charge applies then the customer will be the person issuing the invoice and accounting for the VAT on the supply. The invoice should not charge VAT and should indicate that the customer will be accounting for the VAT.

Suggested forms of wording that can be included on a VAT self-billing invoice are:
- reverse charge: We’ll account for and pay output tax of £[enter the amount] to HMRC
- reverse charge: As the UK customer we’ll pay output tax of £[enter the amount] to HMRC
Alternatively, any of the following are also acceptable, as long as the amount of VAT is shown elsewhere on the invoice (but not in the box for total output tax charged):
- reverse charge: VAT Act 1994 Section 55A applies
- reverse charge: S55A VATA 94 applies
- reverse charge: We’ll account for the VAT to HMRC
- reverse charge: We’ll pay the VAT to HMRC.
Apprenticeship training provider accountability framework
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-29)

The framework and specification the Department for Education (DfE) uses to review the quality of apprenticeship training from providers.

The first 7 foundation apprenticeships (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dfe-update-21-may-2025/dfe-update-further-education-21-may-2025#informationnew-foundation-apprenticeships-available-from-1-august-2025) are now available.

We recognise that providers will need to adapt delivery in the first year, so foundation apprenticeships will not count towards qualification achievement rates (QAR) in the apprenticeship accountability framework (AAF) for 2025 to 2026.

Foundation apprenticeship achievement rates will still be published in the national achievement rate tables as part of the overall programme.

DfE is reviewing the AAF and plans to publish an updated version in winter 2025. This will align with Ofsted’s new inspection proposals and wider system reforms.

We use this framework to review the quality of apprenticeship provision for apprentices of all ages. This guidance sets out our expectations, including the:
- policy framework’s key principles and objectives
- indicators and thresholds we’ll use to review provider quality
- range of interventions we may take where provider quality issues are identified
The framework is for all providers currently delivering apprenticeships. It sits alongside the:
- funding rules (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apprenticeship-funding-rules)
- guidance on financial health (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/esfa-financial-health-assessment)
- apprenticeship provider agreement

Voluntary litter collection and waste management:  RPS 212
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-05)

Environment Agency regulatory position on storing, transporting, bulking up and accepting litter from voluntary litter collections.

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to:
- register as a waste carrier where you transport waste as part of your business activity
- complete a transfer note when you transfer waste
- have a waste permit when you bulk up and or store waste unless you have a relevant exemption
- only send waste to a site that can legally accept that waste because it is has a relevant waste permit or waste exemption
- only accept waste at a permitted site if your permit allows you to accept that waste
when you manage or receive waste from voluntary litter collections.

However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with these legal requirements if you meet the requirements in the RPS.

The regulatory position does not apply to any other legal requirements.

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 Brynglas Equine 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 Brynglas Equine 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
- 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.
