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 Curtis Palmer Program 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 Curtis Palmer Program 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
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities

IHTM13025 - Change of Domicile: Residence/Non-Residence/Ordinary Residence
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-07)


From 6 April 2025, for inheritance tax purposes, domicile is replaced by long-term UK residence and you can find details of these rules at IHTM (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000)47000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000).

The country of residence is important in general law as well as for tax. For example, it is a condition for adopting a domicile of choice and the residence of a debtor may determine the situs (IHTM27071 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm27071)) of that debt.

For Inheritance Tax (IHT), residence (or non-residence) is a factor in deciding whether:
- a person may be deemed to be domiciled in the UK (IHTM13024 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13024))
- the value of non-sterling accounts are left out of account (IHTM04380 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm04380))
- government securities are excluded property (IHTM27241 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm27241))
- to give up a charge to tax or give a tax credit under the Double Taxation Conventions (IHTM27161 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm27161))
- a charge arises for property leaving discretionary settlements (IHTM27212 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm27212)).
In practice, residence and ordinary residence are terms better known in the field of Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax (CGT), rather than IHT. But, these words are not defined for either CGT or Income Tax purposes. More information can be found in the Residence and FIG Regime Manual (RFIG) (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual). In many cases a taxpayer’s residence will have already been considered. Sometimes you may come across the following abbreviations on records - "R" is for resident, "OR" for ordinarily resident, "NR" for non-resident and "NOR" for not ordinarily resident. This applies to a tax year as a whole.

You must follow the decision that has been made. Exceptionally, if you consider that there is new and relevant information, which could alter the decision, then discuss with Technical before approaching the taxpayer, PTI Advisory or HMIT.

If there is no information on any previous decision you should check for any other official records. You might consider asking for other personal records like diaries or passports, which may help you determine residency. HMRC practice in relation to residence and ordinary residence is set out in the HMRC Residence, Domicile and Remittances Manual, which you should consult as necessary in consultation with Technical Group and/or PTI Advisory.

See IHTM13034 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13034) for liaison arrangements with PTI Advisory and HMIT.

Licensing of non-surgical cosmetic procedures
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-07)

We are seeking your views on what procedures should be in scope of the licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures in England.

The government brought forward an amendment to the Health and Care Act 2022 which gives the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care the power to bring into force a licensing scheme in England for non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

The purpose of the scheme is to ensure that consumers who choose to undergo a non-surgical cosmetic procedure can be confident that the treatment they receive is safe and of a high standard. Under the proposed scheme, practitioners will need to be licensed to perform specific procedures and the premises from which they operate will also need to be licensed.

In this consultation we are seeking your views on:
- the types of treatments that we propose are included within the licensing scheme
- whether any procedures should be carried out only either by qualified and regulated healthcare professionals or under their clinical oversight
- whether procedures permitted to be carried out only by qualified and regulated healthcare professionals should only be carried out by Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered providers
- whether potential age restrictions should be imposed on those receiving specified procedures, in line with age restrictions on botulinum toxin injections, cosmetic fillers, tattoos, teeth whitening and sunbed use

SIA surprise inspections uncover illegal security in Brighton
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-09)

A recent SIA-led joint operation investigating unlicensed door staff in Brighton led to three arrests.

On Friday 4 April the Security Industry Authority (SIA), together with Home Office Immigration Enforcement (HOIE) and Sussex Police, conducted unannounced inspections at three venues in Brighton.

The SIA planned the inspections to check that security workers in the city’s night-time economy were properly licensed and had the right to work in the UK. The choice of venues came as a result of intelligence relating to the use of counterfeit licences.

The inspecting team didn’t find any security operatives working without licences during the inspection itself. However, they uncovered evidence showing that unlicensed operatives had recently worked illegally as door supervisors at two of the venues.

HOIE arrested and bailed one door supervisor for not having the right to work in the UK. The security company that employed him will be considered for a civil penalty, which could be as much as £60,000. HOIE detained a second door supervisor, pending removal, for working in breach of his visa conditions. A search of the door supervisor’s home address revealed a third individual, who was also arrested for working in breach of their visa conditions

Kirsty Grant, the SIA Criminal Investigations Officer who led the inspection, said:

We would like to thank Home Office Immigration Enforcement and Sussex Police for working with us on this operation. It’s crucial for public safety that door supervisors are properly trained and licensed. People who abuse the system are putting venue customers at risk. They are also putting themselves at risk of arrest and potentially imprisonment and deportation. Security companies should take note: deploying unlicensed staff or failing to conduct basic identity and right to work checks on your employees can be very expensive and lead to a criminal record.

Background

The SIA is the organisation responsible for regulating the private security industry in the UK, reporting to the home secretary under the terms of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/12/contents). The SIA’s main duties are the compulsory licensing of individuals undertaking designated activities and managing the voluntary Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS).
