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.

- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

This Manual sets out the law and practice for the oil and gas fiscal regime. In particular it covers petroleum revenue tax, ring fence corporation tax, supplementary charge and reliefs for decommissioning expenditure.

As the Manual is directed to oil taxation, it does not cover general tax issues which may arise in the oil industry, but are equally relevant to other trades and industries. Guidance on these issues will be found in other manuals published by HMRC.

The Oil Taxation Manual is updated at regular intervals, and we welcome constructive comments and suggestions from customers as to further improvements.

Petroleum revenue tax and the special ring fence rules for corporation tax and the supplementary change are currently administered by LB Oil and Gas (formerly the Oil Taxation Office then Energy Group and then LBS Oil & Gas Sector).

LB Oil and Gas also manages the taxation of offshore contractors.

LB Oil and Gas is located in four locations: Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Belfast.

Companies House fees are changing from 1 February 2026
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-05)

We review our fees every year to make sure they’re set at the right level and reflect the cost of delivering our services.

From 1 February 2026, some of our fees will be changing. These include:
- incorporation digital filing fee will change to £100
- confirmation statement digital filing fee will change to £50
- voluntary strike off digital filing fee will change to £13
We’ve published a full list of Companies House fees that are changing from 1 February 2026 (https://changestoukcompanylaw.campaign.gov.uk/changes-to-companies-house-fees/).

Businesses registered with Companies House benefit from limited liability, easier access to credit, more flexibility in raising capital, and enhanced credibility. Our fees remain low by international standards.

We use income from our fees to incorporate companies and to publish accessible company information worth billions to the UK economy. In addition, our new and enhanced powers under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency (ECCT) Act enable us to query and remove false and misleading information from our registers. We’re building a more trustworthy environment for consumers and legitimate businesses and reducing the harm they face from those who do not meet their obligations.

We also use income from our fees to fund The Insolvency Service’s company investigation and enforcement activity. The Insolvency Service has wide-ranging enforcement powers which can be deployed to wind-up companies, disqualify directors, and prosecute those suspected of fraud, financial wrongdoing and other company offences.

We want to do even more to make sure the UK remains one of the best places in the world to start and grow a business. We’re focusing on modernising and improving our services, and we’re boosting our enforcement approach with more people, more sophisticated tools, and more approaches to quickly identify and take action against fraudulent companies. We’re also introducing compulsory identity verification from 18 November 2025 to confirm that people setting up or running a company are who they claim to be.

The work we’re doing at Companies House, funded by our fees, is creating a transparent marketplace that boosts economic confidence and disrupts economic crime by taking robust action to prevent criminals from abusing the UK’s corporate structures, giving legitimate companies the assurance they need to do business in the UK.

Universal Periodic Review 50: UK Statement on Maldives
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

Statement by the UK's Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Jamie Hamill, at Maldives' Universal Periodic Review at the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Thank you, Mr President.

The United Kingdom welcomes the Republic of Maldives’ continued engagement with the international community. We urge the government to maintain a robust approach to terrorism and extremism by increasing the number of cases taken to court and successful prosecutions.

Following President Muizzu’s election and his public commitments to respect human rights, we urge the government to ensure the protection of freedom of the media and the right to freedom of assembly under the Maldives Constitution.

We recommend that Maldives:

Implements its stated commitment to the Commonwealth Principles on Freedom of Expression and the Role of the Media.

Ensures its Penal Code is aligned with international standards, abolishes the death penalty and maintains the existing moratorium.

Promotes greater women’s representation in public and political life.

Thank you.
