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 Chapelhouse Motors 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 Chapelhouse Motors 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
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
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.

Research into agents’ preparedness for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax – headline findings
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)

Findings cover the first 2 waves of a multi-wave survey with tax agents tracking how they are preparing themselves and their clients for Making Tax Digital

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) commissioned independent research agency, Verian, to conduct quantitative research with tax agents whose clients will be mandated into Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. The research has helped HMRC understand how agents are preparing themselves and their clients for Making Tax Digital and explores the impact of direct communications and enhanced educational resources on agents’ awareness and perceptions of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.

The research comprised telephone survey interviews with agents with less than 50 employees in December 2024 (506 agents) and July 2025 (502 agents). HMRC is planning to conduct a third survey wave in December 2025. After the final survey wave, a more comprehensive report, including findings from complementary qualitative research, will be published.
Update on Free Trade Agreement negotiations with South Korea
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-08)

Update following round 4 of negotiations on an upgraded Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with South Korea

Negotiations took place in London between 10 and 21 March 2025.

The fourth round of negotiations to upgrade the existing Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the Republic of Korea (RoK) took place in London between 10 and 21 March 2025. As with previous rounds, negotiators from both sides engaged productively across a broad range of areas in an ongoing effort to enhance and solidify the economic partnership between us.

Negotiations continue to centre around three key objectives:

Securing and future proofing existing arrangements: Progress was made in rules of origin discussions. Product Specific Rules were discussed for a range of important exporting sectors. Negotiators will continue to seek a chapter which accounts for both existing and future supply chains.

Capturing recent advances in Trade Policy: Negotiations on a new and comprehensive Digital Trade chapter progressed positively, with commitments on data, trade digitisation and business safeguards under discussion this round.

Supporting our strategic relationship with the Republic of Korea: During the round good progress was made towards agreeing new cooperation commitments covering areas such as the Environment, Trade and Gender Equality and Supply Chains.

Economic growth is the core mission of this government, and this FTA has an important role to play in supporting our £15.3 billion trade relationship with the Republic of Korea.

The government will only ever sign a trade agreement which aligns with the UK’s national interests, upholding high standards across a range of sectors, including protections for the National Health Service.

The fifth round of negotiations is currently expected to take place in Seoul in the Summer of 2025.

VATRESNI8400 - Handling correspondences: Form not stamped by EU customs
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


Below is a draft letter that may be sent when a refund form has not been stamped by Customs in an EU Member State. The letter should be adapted to suit individual circumstances. Dear [insert name],

VAT Retail Export Scheme

Thank you for your letter of [insert date] about a refund of VAT on goods purchased under the retail export scheme from [insert name of retailer].

One of the conditions of the scheme is that the refund form must be presented with the goods to a customs officer at the final departure point from Northern Ireland/the EU. If satisfied that all the conditions of the scheme have been met, the customs officer will certify the VAT refund form. Retailers or refund companies are not able to make a refund of VAT unless the refund form has been certified by a customs officer. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Because your refund form does not bear a valid UK or EU Customs stamp, you are not entitled to a refund of VAT.

I am sorry I cannot give you a more favourable response.

Yours sincerely,

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 Arcible 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 Arcible 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
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

-Working with the CTP in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for service leavers

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.
CG56105 - Futures: financial futures: financial spread betting
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-12)


Instead of buying and selling financial futures or options an individual may simply gamble on the future direction of prices or indices. There are a number of spread-betting companies in the UK with which such bets may be placed.

For example, you might choose to bet on movement in the FTSE 100. If the index stands currently at 5400, the company might offer a 'buy' price of 5401 and a 'sell' price of 5399; the difference is the company's 'spread'. Buying with a stake of £5 per point you win £5 for every point the then selling price exceeds 5401 when you close your bet, but lose £5 per point if the index instead has fallen. Similarly, if you bet on the market falling, you win if on closing your bet the then buying price is below 5399, but lose if the market has risen.

The spread-betting company normally requires only a small deposit. Winnings or losses may well exceed this sum.

Though the terminology used in spread betting frequently echoes that of the derivatives market, no assets are acquired or disposed of and no chargeable gains or allowable losses arise from spread betting, see CG11700 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg11700#).

HMAG30120 - Registration and approval: warning letters
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-17)


A warning letter provides an approved person an opportunity to improve their compliance. It is not a pre-requirement for issuing a sanction, instead it is issued where we consider compliance is likely to improve to avoid the sanction we intend to apply, such as a restrictive condition or revocation.

It should not be issued if there is significant revenue risk in allowing the high-risk activity to continue (for example, where there is fraud) or a change in behavior is unlikely (for example, the business has not improved compliance after earlier discussions and correspondence). Also, it cannot replace a duty assessment where a duty point has occurred.

Where required, a warning letter should be issued to the business promptly (normally within 5 working days of the risk being identified). It should clearly set out what is wrong and what we intend to do if a sustained improvement is not made. It should set out what the business must do and by when, to avoid our intended action. Sufficient time should be allowed to enable business to make necessary changes for continuous improvement. At the end of the deadline set, we should re-evaluate whether our intended action is still necessary. Where it is, we should proceed as originally warned. Where the activities we want to control are carried out by a third-party service provider (such as a warehouse-keeper), but the behavioral change needs to come from the service provider’s client, it is to this client that a warning should normally be addressed.

If revoking an approval, then we should normally issue a ‘minded to-revoke’ letter as discussed below unless immediate revocation is required where a ‘notification of decision to revoke’ letter should be issued.
