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;

COM123060 - Repayments/reallocations: repayment cancellation: cancelled Bacs repayments
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-09)


When HMRC Finance cancel a Bacs repayment, COTAX creates entries on the following work lists:
- LCRP (Cancelled/Rejected Repayments List)
- LCRT (Cancelled Repayment List)
The work list entry shows the reason for the cancellation. The cancellation also sets the cancelled repayment inhibit signal for the Accounting Period (AP) concerned.

For more information about these work lists see COM126000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com126000) onwards.

The appearance of a cancelled Bacs repayment on one of the above work lists is the authority for the responsible CT office or HMRC Payments to make a fresh repayment. You do not receive any paper authority.

Bacs repayment cancelled

A Bacs repayment may fail to reach the intended account because the:
- Bacs computer rejects the transaction
- recipient bank or building society is unable to complete the transaction, for example, because the account details supplied by HMRC do not match any existing account
- Repayment/Reallocation Authoriser has used function PRKR (Provide Risk Response) to reject a repayment selected for authorisation
In the first two cases, HMRC Finance cancel details of the repayment on the company’s COTAX record.

A local branch of a bank or building society receiving a credit through Bacs can often amend incorrect or outdated details. The repayment then reaches the right recipient, but the destination details shown on COTAX are incorrect.

When you receive a notice of amended Bacs details:
- file the notification prominently in the papers for the Accounting Period (AP) concerned
- make a note using function NOTE (Case Notes) that the Bacs details shown on COTAX for the repayment are different
Top of page (#Top)

Bacs repayment not received

If a company advises that a Bacs repayment has not been received although the screen in function VPPD (View Payment and Posting Details) shows that it has been made, or has been credited to an incorrect account, phone the COTAX Business Help Desk (This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)immediately for instructions.

IEIM405131 - Penalty Reductions for Failure Penalties
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)


Penalty Reductions for Failure Penalties

A penalty of up to £5,000 may be charged if a Reporting Financial Institution fails to comply with any of the following obligations:
- Failure to file a report on time
- Failure to provide an officer of Revenue and Customs with information in respect of its obligations under the Regulations within the deadline specified in a written notice (being no less than 14 days)
- Failure to comply with record keeping requirements
When assessing the amount of the penalty, HMRC will consider the frequency of the failure. A first failure will attract a lower penalty, while subsequent failures will lead to increased penalty levels. Each category of penalty listed above will be considered independently, so the level of penalty for a failure to comply with record keeping requirements in year 2 will not be affected by a failure to report on time in year 1. Where a failure is followed by subsequent years of compliance, a further failure will attract a lower penalty again.

Judicial Summary

The Applicant claimed a bereavement payment under the 2012 Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme following the murder of her partner. The case turned on whether the Applicant met the test for being a “qualifying relative”. CICA refused her claim on the basis of paragraph 59(b) of the Scheme. The First-tier Tribunal (FTT) unanimously found on the facts that the Applicant had not been “living with [her partner] in the same household and had done so for a continuous period of at least two years immediately before the date of the death” (paragraph 59(b)). The FTT also ruled, but by a majority, that the Applicant was not “a person who would satisfy sub-paragraph (a) or (b) but who did not live with the deceased because of either person’s ill-health or infirmity” within paragraph 59(c). The Upper Tribunal refused the application for judicial review of the FTT’s decision.

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.

COM1170 - Accounting periods: company accounting periods: superseded AP, payment received
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-25)


If a payment of tax has been posted to the record of a newly superseded Accounting Period (AP), COTAX automatically transfers the postings from the superseded AP record to the linked new AP you have created.

If you do not create any new APs when you supersede an AP containing a payment, COTAX warns you that it has ‘stranded payments’ that it cannot automatically repay or reallocate.

You must use function REWD (Direct Reallocation Within COTAX) or function REAW (Direct Reallocation Within COTAX), as appropriate, to reallocate the payments or function DIRR (Direct Repayment) to repay them.

Cases subsequently appear on LOPU (Overpayments Review List) in HMRC payments if no action is taken in the CT responsible office to deal with the payments.

See COM1021 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com1021) for a list of functions to use in particular situations.
