Global trade outlook: June 2025 report
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-25)

This report sets out some of the long-term trends that are likely to shape the global economy and international trade in coming decades.

This report sets out long-term trends that may shape the global economy and international trade between now and 2050.

The report has been produced to help inform policymakers and strategists, and contribute to the wider debate about the future of trade. It also sets out some of the economic trends that underpin the UK’s trade strategy.

This is the third edition of the Global trade outlook and has been updated to reflect economic developments since 2023.

The report has been written during a period of significant global economic and policy uncertainty. While the outlook occasionally reflects on these uncertainties – including through the medium-term inclusion of International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections – the core forecast does not make judgements about the long-term impact of immediate policy or shocks on the global economy. Instead, it produces a baseline projection of how the economy may develop if recent trends continue.

This projection provides insights into the direction in which core economic variables are pushing the global economy, but it does not reflect the full complexity of what the future holds.

VATREVCON33600 - How the construction reverse charge works: End users and intermediary suppliers: Utility companies as end users
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-02)


Construction services received by utility companies (suppliers of gas, electricity, water, telephone or internet services to homes and businesses) will be eligible for exclusion from the reverse charge under the end user exclusion, if:
- the utility company confirms to the supplier in writing that it is an end user
- the work is being carried out during construction, repair or alteration of the utility company's own assets — for example part of their own infrastructure for delivering power, water or whatever utilities they are responsible for.
If a utility company charges for work to connect, disconnect, reconnect, divert, ‘make safe’ or ‘cap off’ parts of its own utility network, this work is generally not within the scope of ‘construction services’ for the purposes of the reverse charge. This is because they are not making onward supplies of construction services. Normal VAT rules will apply to any such charges.

Services provided by utility businesses which also do not fall within the construction reverse charge include:
- provision of a connection to a utility network, or diversionary works to allow the relocation of the network
- development and construction of a private network to be owned by the utility and leased or sold to the client
- work that is not within the scope of the Construction Industry Scheme, such as the installation of a boiler (and ancillary supplies).
Exceptions to this will be when a utility company takes on the role of contractor for particular projects such as:
- constructing, repairing or maintaining a private power or gas network for a client
- installing full heating systems.

Profile: GRU cyber and hybrid threat operations

Factsheet which exposes the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU) cyber and information operations against the UK and allies.

This document illustrates how the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU) is making sustained and persistent use of cyber and information operations to cause real world harm to the UK and its allies and in support of Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine.

By publicly highlighting malicious activity, and imposing clear costs in response, we are sending a clear message that we know what Russia is doing, it will not be tolerated, and we will hold those responsible to account.

The UK is not acting alone. We will continue to work with our allies and partners (including through NATO and the EU and its Member States) to combat the full spectrum of malign hybrid activity emanating from Putin’s Kremlin in solidarity with Ukraine in their fight for a just and lasting peace.

ECSH44625 - Fit and proper test fee
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-17)


For each beneficial owner, officer or manager (BOOM) of a money service business (MSB) or a trust or company service provider (TCSP), there is a fit and proper (F&P) test fee.

This fee is not refundable, even if the BOOM is determined not to be F&P. This is in order to cover the cost of the test.

The fee is only paid once per business per person tested. There is no charge for retests or refreshes but a F&P test is specific to a certain business: it does not give an individual a “status” that can be transferred to another business. This is because the circumstances and risks of a business are not necessarily the same.

Further guidance on the F&P test is available at ECSH45030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh45030).

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.
