Super-complaints: eligible entity criteria and procedural requirements
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-09)

This consultation will inform the eligible entity criteria and procedure for the Online Safety Act’s super-complaints function.

Super-complaints will play an essential role within the new regulatory framework established by the Online Safety Act as they will allow for complaints about systemic issues to be raised with the regulator.

They will enable eligible entities to bring systemic issues that arise across services, or in exceptional circumstances on one service, to the attention of the regulator. This will ensure that OFCOM is made aware of issues users are facing which it may not be aware of otherwise.

Super-complaints will work alongside OFCOM’s ongoing research and horizon scanning to make sure that the regulatory framework stays up to date and keeps users safe.

The Secretary of State is required by the act to set out in regulations the eligible entity criteria and the procedure for super-complaints.

Eligible entity criteria. Entities will need to meet the eligible entity criteria in order to be eligible for submitting a super-complaint to the regulator.

Procedure for super-complaints. The act provides that this may include provisions setting out how OFCOM may be notified of an intention to make a complaint, the form and manner of such a complaint (including evidential requirements), steps that OFCOM must take in relation to it (including publishing responses), and time limits for each step.

This public consultation seeks the views of the public on both of these issues. Responses to the consultation will inform the final regulations and will ensure that they are evidence-based and effective. The consultation will run for eight weeks and will close at 11:45pm on 11 January 2024.

Michelle Donelan, The Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology said:

“Now that the Online Safety Act has passed into law we are working to get the framework up and running. Responses to this new consultation will help to create an effective, fair and future-proofed super-complaints system that will ensure that systemic issues can be raised with the regulator.”

Authorised consignees/consignors can start/end a transit movement at their own premises.

Union transit is a customs procedure that allows goods not in free circulation, to move within the GB or EU, while customs duties or other charges are suspended.

Transit can help move goods from the GB to EU and other common transit countries more quickly and without paying import duties in those or countries or GB duties where those duties have already been suspended, because:
- customs declarations and duties are not required at each border crossing
- an office of departure or destination
- traders own premises if they are an authorised consignor or consignee
When transit movements arrive in the GB, the goods and the Transit Accompanying Document (TAD) must be presented at an office of transit.

The information on the TAD would form a Temporary Storage Declaration.
IEIM400650 - Custodial Institution: Introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)


Custodial Institution

A Custodial Institution is an entity that holds, as a substantial portion of its business, financial assets for the account of others.

In this context, a substantial portion is taken as being at least 20% of the entity’s gross income that is attributable to holding financial assets and providing related financial services in the shorter of:
- Its last three accounting periods, or
- The period since it commenced business.
Income attributable to holding financial assets and providing related financial services includes the following:
- Custody, account maintenance and transfer fees;
- Commissions and fees earned from executing and pricing securities transactions;
- Income earned from extending credit to customers;
- Income earned from contracts for differences and as the bid-ask spread of financial assets;
- Fees for providing financial advice;
- Fees for providing clearance and settlement services.
From 1 January 2026, under CRS2.0, income attributable to related financial services also includes:
- Commissions and fees from holding, transferring and exchanging Relevant Crypto-Assets held in custody.
Where an entity has no operating history at the time its status as a custodial institution is being assessed, it will be regarded as a Custodial Institution if it expects to meet the gross income threshold based on its anticipated functions, assets and employees. Consideration must be given to any purpose or function for which the entity is licensed or regulated (including those of any predecessor).

There may be circumstances where an entity holds financial assets for a customer where the income attributable to holding the financial assets or providing related financial services either belongs or is otherwise paid to a connected party such as another company in the same group of companies. This may be because the entity holds assets for a customer of a connected party, or simply that any consideration is paid to a connected party, either as an identifiable payment or as one element of a consolidated payment. In that case the attributable income should be taken account of when applying the 20% test.

Where an entity holds financial assets that are the property of a connected person, for example a company may hold the financial assets of some or all members of the group to which it belongs, and no or nominal fees are paid for that service, that is fees less than would apply on a commercial basis, consideration should be given to what would have been paid by an arm’s length customer when applying the 20% test.

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 Orb Rope Access 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 Orb Rope Access 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 Spouses And Partners

SGSELSG3080 - Issuing and presentation of licences: values and duplicate licences

This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

DBT generally issues licences showing both the quantity and the value of the goods, although quantity is the prime consideration. If there is a minor discrepancy between the value shown on the licence and the value entered for export, you may ignore it unless the entry value is such that you suspect that the quantity declared has been understated. There may however be a satisfactory explanation for the discrepancy, eg that the goods are invoiced in a foreign currency and the sterling value has altered since the licence was issued owing to currency fluctuations. The words ‘or price ruling at the time of despatch’ or similar may be added after the item value to indicate this.

The value for licensing purposes is the FOB open market selling price, ie the price inclusive of transportation costs and all other expenses incurred up to the point where the goods are deposited on board the exporting vessel or aircraft. For goods being exported after processing or repair in the UK, the value for licensing purposes must include the charge for the process and the value of the goods when imported.

Home Office procurement card spend over £500: 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-27)

Details of all government procurement card transactions for £500 and over in 2024.

This is intended to help you understand and interpret the data published by the Home Office, its agencies and non-departmental public bodies.

Background information

The government procurement card (GPC) is a branded purchasing card, not a credit card.

It is provided through a framework agreement between Government Procurement Services (the national procurement partner for UK public services) and 6 card issuers. Barclaycard is the card issuer for Home Office.

GPC is an efficient solution specifically for low risk, low value purchases and enables government to buy from small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

What are the benefits of GPC?
- access to data to help monitor spend and budgets more effectively
- reducing the number of invoices: card transactions are consolidated and paid centrally, with no risk of interest charges
- saves money and provides efficient processes
- electronic cardholder statements, supporting sustainability by reducing paper and resultant waste
What are the benefits of GPC to SMEs?
- prompt payments in line with government initiatives
- improved cash flow
- reduces bad debt and late payments
- reduced administrative costs
GPC policy and procedures

Use of the GPC is governed by the Home Office government procurement card policy that is derived from the central government procurement card policy.

GPC is not permitted to purchase alternative goods or services which are available on Home Office contracts.

GPC transparency

In support of the government’s transparency agenda, the Home Office are publishing details of all transactions of £500 and over. The data published will include the:
- transaction posting date
- reference number
- merchant name

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 NHS National Services Scotland 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 NHS National Services Scotland 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
We also pledge the following:

Health in addition to the above we will ensure we meet our statutory obligations under the Armed Forces Covenant Legal Duty

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.
ESM11025 - Check Employment Status For Tax: About you and the work
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-30)


When completing CEST you should consider the true agreement between the parties. The starting point will usually be consideration of the written terms under which the hirer is contracting for a worker’s services. Consideration of working practices, what the parties have said to each other and the hirer’s own policies may also assist in completion of the questions.

Written terms may not provide a reliable indication of the true agreement between the parties where:
- They are inconsistent with working practices;
- They have been varied by verbal agreement;
- They do not contain enough detail; or
- They are inconsistent or contradictory
Standard terms are often designed to achieve a particular employment status outcome.

HMRC will stand by the result you get from this tool. This would not be the case if the information you have provided was checked and found to be inaccurate.

HMRC will also not stand by results achieved through actions undertaken to achieve a particular result (contrived arrangements), or through answering questions in a way that is not correct.

This would be treated as evidence of deliberate non-compliance, which can attract higher associated penalties.
