New fees for emergency travel documents and emergency passports
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-03)

The government will introduce new fees for emergency travel documents and emergency passports from 9 April 2025.

From 9 April 2025, the government will introduce new fees for emergency travel documents (ETDs) and emergency passports.

An ETD (https://www.gov.uk/travel-urgently-from-abroad-without-uk-passport) lets you travel from abroad if you need to travel urgently and cannot use your British passport. It is usually only valid for one single or return journey. The new fee includes the cost of couriering the emergency travel document to you. Previously, this was an additional separate cost.

Emergency passports are issued in exceptional circumstances, usually when an ETD cannot be issued.

Consular fees are reviewed in line with His Majesty’s Treasury guidance Managing public money (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/managing-public-money). The last time fees were increased was in 2016.

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 Centimany 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;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Centimany Limited 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
- Armed Forces Charities
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.

Call for comments: draft risk profile of a substance proposed as a persistent organic pollutant (POP) 2025

Requesting comments on a draft risk profile for polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (including mixed polybrominated/chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans).

The UK is a party to the United Nations’ Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

POPs are substances that persist in the environment, accumulate in living organisms and pose a risk to our health and the environment. They can be transported by air, water, or migratory species across international borders, reaching regions where they have never been produced or used.

The Stockholm Convention’s POPs Review Committee (POPRC) has requested comments on the draft risk profile for one group of substances:

Polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDD/Fs), including mixed polybrominated/chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBCDD/Fs) .

You can find more information about POPRC’s calls for comments on the Stockholm Convention’s website (https://chm.pops.int/TheConvention/POPsReviewCommittee/Meetings/POPRC20/POPRC20Followup/tabid/10078/Default.aspx).

Scottish Income Tax outturn reconciliation for 2022-23
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-15)

This explanatory note sets out how the 2022-23 Income Tax data published by HMRC and population data published by the ONS is used to update the Scottish Government’s funding.

Under the Fiscal Framework agreed between the UK and Scottish Governments in 2016 and reviewed in 2023, the Scottish Government’s funding is initially based on forecasts of Income Tax and updated once actual Income Tax revenues are available.

Actual Income Tax data for 2022-23 replaces forecasts of Scottish Income Tax (made by the Scottish Fiscal Commission) and forecasts of the associated Block Grant Adjustment (based on forecasts of UK Government Income Tax made by the Office for Budget Responsibility).

This reconciliation process for 2022-23 can now be undertaken as HMRC have published 2022-23 Income Tax outturn data and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and National Records of Scotland have published revised population estimates that affect the calculation of the Block Grant Adjustment:
- Scottish Income Tax receipts are higher than forecast at the time of the 2022-23 Scottish Budget so this will increase Scottish Government self-funding by £1498 million in 2025-26
- The associated Block Grant Adjustment is also higher than forecast at the time of the 2022-23 Scottish Budget so this will reduce Scottish Government’s block grant funding by £1048 million in 2025-26
- The net effect is a £451 million increase in the Scottish Government’s overall funding for 2025-26.

Source: gov.uk (2025-06-25)

Sets out the government’s decisions on the act to ensure that freedom of speech and academic freedom are robustly protected and it will be genuinely workable.

The government plans to strengthen protections for academic freedom and freedom of speech at registered English higher education (HE) providers in a balanced and workable way. This includes by:

strengthening legal duties on HE providers to:
- take steps to secure free speech within the law
- put in place a code of practice on free speech
- promote free speech and academic freedom
- requiring the Office for Students (OfS) to promote freedom of speech and academic freedom
- banning non-disclosure agreements for staff, students and external speakers at HE providers in certain circumstances
- repealing direct duties in relation to freedom of speech on students’ unions
- repealing the statutory tort, which would give parties a right to bring a claim against an HE provider
giving the OfS more flexible powers to:
- introduce new registration conditions on free speech and academic freedom
- consider complaints from staff, speakers and non-student members on free speech

SAF revenue certainty mechanism: cost-benefit analysis
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-13)

Provides a cost-benefit analysis and dataset for the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) revenue certainty mechanism.

The government is introducing the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill 2025 to provide legislative powers for the SAF revenue certainty mechanism.

The revenue certainty mechanism seeks to lower financing costs and increase the chances of first-of-kind SAF projects reaching successful final investment decisions. This will help attract investment into UK SAF projects and increase domestic SAF production, which will:
- promote growth in the aviation industry
- contribute towards meeting the SAF Mandate (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/sustainable-aviation-fuel-saf-mandate)
Our cost-benefit analysis and dataset sets out the quantitative analysis and modelling that underpins our decisions for provisions within the bill. The analysis uses a range of assumptions to illustrate the potential economic outcomes associated with the revenue certainty mechanism.

Scenarios indicate various possible outcomes, risks and benefits associated with SAF.

MTT54310 - Administration: Payments and interest: Claiming relief of overpaid tax
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


Where a person has paid more MTT for an accounting period than was due, that person may make a claim to HMRC for repayment of the amount that was not due (the ‘excess amount’).

To be valid, the claim must be made by the overpayment claim date and contain the necessary information and be made in the correct form.

The claim must be submitted separately to a self-assessment return.

Further details will be provided about the information and form of a claim.

This is set out in paragraphs 51-53, Schedule 14 to Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

The overpayment claim date

If an excess amount was paid because of a mistake on a self-assessment return, the claim must be made within 4 years of the end of the relevant accounting period.

Otherwise, the claim must be made within 4 years of the end of the accounting period in respect of which the amount was paid.

Circumstances under which a claim may be denied

A claim for relief for overpaid MTT will not be allowed where one of the following circumstances apply:
- a member of the group has an unpaid liability to any UK tax for any accounting period.
- the claimant is or will be able to seek tax relief under some other allowable method (for example, through amending a return).
- the claimant knew (or should have reasonably known) that relief could have been sought under another allowable method, but can no longer claim that relief because the period has expired.
- the reason for the overpayment was a mistake in the calculation of the payable amount, and the amount was calculated in accordance with the practice generally prevailing at the time.
Repayment interest

Where HMRC grants relief on overpaid tax, interest will be payable. See MTT54100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt54100).

Compliance check

HMRC may conduct a compliance check into a claim for relief of overpaid tax. See MTT55180 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt55180).

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 Catena Nottinghamshire 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 Catena Nottinghamshire 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
- Armed Forces Charities
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.
