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 4 DATA SOLUTIONS LIMITED 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;

The ending of State Pension Adult Dependency Increase (ADI)
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-15)

If you lived abroad between 6 April 2010 and 5 April 2020 and feel adversely affected, due to when you first received notification on the removal of an ADI, you may be eligible for compensation.

Adult Dependency Increases (ADIs) were extra amounts of money paid to State Pensioners who had a dependent spouse below State Pension age.

No new claims for ADI were allowed from 6 April 2010 and all payments stopped on 6 April 2020.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) informed people living in Great Britain and abroad that their ADI would be ending. But the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has found that DWP did not communicate this information in a reasonable timeframe to people living abroad and that this was maladministration.

The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman found no fault in the way DWP communicated with customers living in Great Britain.

If you feel you were adversely affected by the removal of an ADI, due to when you received notification after 6 April 2010 that it was going to end, then you may be eligible for compensation.

Eligibility

You may be entitled to a compensation payment if all the following apply:
- you received an ADI
- your ADI payments were stopped on 6 April 2020
- you were living outside Great Britain for any period of time from 6 April 2010 to 6 April 2020
- you are able to say how the timing of the notification about the removal of an ADI had an adverse impact on you
What you’ll need to do

Contact us and provide the following information:
- your full name
- your date of birth
- your National Insurance number
- the date you moved abroad
- address(es) you were living at between 6 April 2010 and 6 April 2020
- information about how you have been negatively affected by the timing of the notification
There are different ways to contact us if you think you may be eligible.

Tax implications for companies and employees in relation to employees trading their shares on PISCES
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

This technical note provides details of the tax implications in relation to employees trading their shares on PISCES, a new type of stock market.

The Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System (PISCES), a new type of stock market, will facilitate secondary trading of private company shares on an intermittent basis. HM Treasury (HMT) laid secondary legislation on 15 May 2025 to implement PISCES. In June 2025 the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published its final rules underpinning PISCES. Firms wishing to operate PISCES trading events can now apply to the FCA.

Following a commitment made by the government on 15 May 2025, draft legislation was published on 21 July 2025 regarding how existing Company Share Option Plan (CSOP) and Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI) contracts can be amended to include PISCES, without losing the tax advantages that the schemes offer. Following further consultation, the draft legislation was revised and is now in the Finance Bill 2025-26 (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/finance-bill-2025-26).

This Technical Note aims to provide clarity on the tax implications of PISCES. It sets out the tax consequences in relation to:
- when employees acquire shares in the companies they work for
- how the readily convertible asset rules apply
- how PISCES trading windows interact with the tax advantaged share schemes (Share Incentive Plan (SIP), Save As You Earn (SAYE), CSOP and EMI)
- how CSOP and EMI contracts can be amended to include PISCES
- when Capital Gains Tax is chargeable
- share valuation rules

Complaints procedure
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-18)

How to make a complaint about the way PackUK operates and the services we provide.

We hope that most people will be satisfied with the customer service we provide and the decisions that we make but we recognise that some people may not be.

PackUK has a formal and transparent process in place to deal with complaints.

Things to consider before making a complaint

The complaints process does not relate to internal complaint processes for staff or objections about the organisation’s policies.

Before making a complaint, you should consider whether it relates to PackUK or should be directed to Defra, the appropriate regulator for your region or one of the four nations of the UK in the first instance.

How to complain

If you have a complaint about the way we operate or the services we provide, let us know as soon as possible by completing our contact form (https://submit.forms.service.gov.uk/form/5724/contact-packuk).

If you cannot complete the complaints form online, please contact:

General enquiries – xx-xxxx-xxxx

Stage 1 (initial stage)

You should address your complaint to the PackUK complaints team. The PackUK complaints team is responsible for investigating complaints about standards of service.

The team may take up to 5 working days to accept a complaint. If your complaint has been accepted, you will receive a response within 20 working days.

Independent adjudication

If you are still not satisfied with PackUK’s decision, you can either appeal against a decision issued by PackUK (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/packuk-extended-producer-responsibility-packaging-appeals-process/extended-producer-responsibility-for-packaging-pepr-appeal-against-a-decision-issued-by-packuk) or, if the complaint relates to a failure of service rather than disputing a decision, you can ask any Member of Parliament to refer your complaint to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (https://www.ombudsman.org.uk/making-complaint/complain-us-getting-started):

ECSH44675 - Approval process fee
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-17)


HMRC carries out approval tests for the following business sectors -
- Accountancy service providers (ASPs).
- Estate agency businesses (EABs).
- Letting agency businesses (LABs).
- Art market participants (AMPs).
- High value dealers (HVDs).
The checks apply to certain individuals who own or hold positions of authority, namely managers (in practice this means relevant senior managers)
- Beneficial owners.
- Officers.
- Senior managers.
- Sole practitioners.
These are commonly known as BOOMs, and also referred to in authorisation’s systems as relevant persons.

Before an individual can hold a position of authority in a business that requires supervision, they need approval by HMRC. The approvals test is a separate test to the “fit and proper test”.

This is to prevent anyone with an unspent conviction for a relevant offence, whether committed in the UK or overseas, being involved in the running of the business or benefiting from it.

HMRC carries out the approvals check and will use the information supplied online upon registration.

However, if a new relevant person joins the business after registration, the business should sign in to the online service (https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/gg/sign-in?continue=%2Fanti-money-laundering&origin=amls-frontend) and update their registration details.

More information about the approvals process can be found at ECSH45075 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh45075).

VATREVCON33200 - How the construction reverse charge works: End users and intermediary suppliers: 5% disregard - end users
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-02)


Where a VAT-registered customer is predominantly an end user, but may be re-supplying a very small proportion of the services received (less than 5% by value), this would normally trigger an obligation to apply the reverse charge. But there is a 5% disregard which allows the customer, if they wish, to still issue an end user declaration to their supplier. They do not have to disclose the details of those re-charges to the supplier.

As an example, a local authority commissioning maintenance works on its tenanted properties may also have to re-charge the costs of work done on areas shared with adjacent privately owned properties. The re-charge would mean the local authority would not be an end user under SI 2019/892 art. 2(1) (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/892/article/2); however, if the amount being invoiced in respect of recharged works is less than 5% of the supply, the local authority can still be an end user.

- asthma
- pneumonia
- other respiratory diseases including bronchiolitis
- risk factors
The profile contains, where available, data for sub-integrated care boards (sub-ICBs), integrated care boards (ICBs), NHS England regions, upper tier local authorities, lower tier local authorities, statistical regions and England.

Hazard: The product presents a serious risk of entrapment as it includes fabric loops which may entrap a child’s finger.

Corrective action: The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).

Product information

Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of entrapment, as the detachable toys included fabric loops sewn into the side of one of the seams. The loops were large enough that a young child could easily insert their finger into them and twist, causing injuries. The product also presents a risk of asphyxiation as the ends of the baby gym legs are noncompliant, fitting through Template A. To a child who cannot sit up unaided, the component poses a potential risk of asphyxiation/impaction through internal airway obstruction.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

MTT42020 - Particular entities and adjustments: Miscellaneous entities: Sovereign wealth funds
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


A sovereign wealth fund is a governmental entity that has a principal purpose of managing or investing the assets of that government.

A sovereign wealth fund cannot be an ultimate parent of a group. Where a sovereign wealth fund would be the ultimate parent of a group, it is to be ignored for the purposes of MTT and will not be regarded as the ultimate parent of its group.

Where a sovereign wealth fund has a controlling interest in an entity (“A”) arising from direct ownership interests, A is to be regarded as the ultimate parent of a group (consisting of A and any entities in which A has a controlling interest).

This is set out in section 252 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

See MTT10240 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt10240) for guidance on the definition of governmental entity.

Example

ABC Government Fund is a sovereign wealth fund which is the ultimate parent of a qualifying multinational group.

A Holding Ltd is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of ABC Government Fund. A Holding Ltd has numerous subsidiaries in various territories.

Because ABC Government Fund meets the definition of a sovereign wealth fund, it is not to be regarded as the ultimate parent of a group and will be ignored for MTT purposes.

A Holding Ltd will be regarded as the ultimate parent of a group consisting of A Holding Ltd and the entities in which it has a controlling interest. That group will have to meet the requirements to be a qualifying group in its own right in order to be a qualifying group for MTT purposes.

Boost in funding for care homes providing nursing
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-04)

The government is set to increase funding for care homes providing nursing care in the community.

More than 75,000 people will be better supported in the community following an increase in funding for nursing care.

The government has announced a 7.7% increase in funding for care homes providing nursing care in the community, which is tailored to an individual’s needs and health outcomes. This includes administering medicines and performing procedures.

The funding will help reduce the pressure on hospitals by preventing unnecessary admissions and supports the discharge of individuals into social care settings to free up hospital beds.

The uplift for 2025 to 2026 means the standard weekly rate per person provided for NHS-funded nursing care will increase from £235.88 to £254.06 from 1 April 2025, with funding paid by the NHS directly to care homes which provide nursing care. The higher rate will increase from £324.50 to £349.50.

Care homes play a vital role in our healthcare system, providing specialist nursing care to some of our most vulnerable citizens.

The uplift follows the government’s immediate actions to improve adult social care (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-reforms-and-independent-commission-to-transform-social-care), as part of the Plan for Change, to help create a sustainable care system for the future. This includes making available £3.7 billion to local authorities, and providing a total of £172 million in additional funding for the Disabled Facilities Grant to deliver around 15,000 new adaptations to help disabled people live safely and independently in their own homes.

In the longer term, Baroness Louise Casey is leading an independent commission to develop recommendations for a national care service which will provide high-quality care for everybody who needs it and rebuild the sector so that it is fit for the future.
Next train services to return to public ownership revealed as government delivers railways reset
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-26)

West Midlands Trains, Govia Thameslink Railway, Chiltern Railways and Great Western Railways set to integrate into Great British Railways.

- schedule set out for West Midlands Trains, Govia Thameslink Railway, Chiltern Railways and Great Western Railways to come under public control
- by the middle of next year, more than half of all rail journeys in Great Britain will be under public ownership
- the government is delivering on its commitment to bring passenger services under public control and put passengers back at the heart of the railway
The next 3 train operating companies whose services will transfer into public ownership, as part of the government’s landmark overhaul of the railways, have been confirmed.

After Greater Anglia’s services transfer on 12 October 2025, West Midlands Trains services will then follow on 1 February 2026, before Govia Thameslink Railway’s services on 31 May 2026, marking another significant step in the government’s plans to bring services into public ownership.

This means by the middle of next year, 8 in 10 passenger rail journeys that the department is responsible for will be owned by the public, for the public.

Chiltern Railways and Great Western Railways services are then expected to follow, with the Secretary of State of Transport due to make final decisions on when exactly this will happen in due course.

All passenger services operating under contracts with the department are expected to return to public ownership by the end of 2027 and will eventually be integrated into Great British Railways. Services are being transferred after contracts reach the end of their minimum term, ensuring taxpayers pay no additional costs for breaking contracts early.

Operators must meet rigorous, bespoke standards to earn the right to be called Great British Railways, so we can rebuild a world-class public service.

This confirmation builds on the government’s delivery of the biggest reset of the railways in a generation, which will help to deliver better and more reliable services for passengers.

Legislation to establish Great British Railways, the new public company which will take responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the railways, will be introduced this Parliamentary session.

Publicly owned operating companies Southeastern and LNER are delivering some of the lowest cancellation rates nationally and South Western Railway has tripled the number of new trains in service in the four months since it came under public ownership, offering more comfortable journeys.
