MTT54100 - Administration: Payments and interest: Payment date and interest
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


MTT liabilities must be paid in full within 15 months beginning with the day after the end of the accounting period for which it is due. This is extended to 18 months for the first accounting period for which the group is a qualifying group.

The payment date aligns with the filing date for the self-assessment return (see MTT53000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt53000)) and the information return (see MTT52000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt52000)).

This is set out in paragraphs 32-33, schedule 14 to Finance (No.2) Act 2023.

Late payment interest

If amounts are not paid by the payment date, interest will accrue from the day after the payment date. The rate is provided in regulations made under section 178 of the Finance Act 1989.

Repayment interest

Repayment interest is due on an amount of tax paid which is more than was due and is subsequently repaid by HMRC. This might happen where there is an amendment to a return (see MTT53000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt53000)) or as a result of a claim for overpayment relief (see MTT54300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt54300)).

Repayment interest is due from the later of:
- the date the payment was due, and
- the day on which the amount the paid.
The rate is provided in regulations made under section 178 of the Finance Act 1989.

Example

XYZ Group’s accounting periods run to 31 December each year. The group becomes a qualifying group for the first time for the period ending 31 December 2030. The group registers on 1 June 2031.

The filing date for the group’s first self-assessment return and information return is 30 June 2032. This is also the payment date.

For subsequent periods, the filing and payment date will be 31 March, which is 15 months after the end of the accounting period.

Short first periods

The filing date for a return cannot fall before 30 June 2026. Where the deadline would fall before this date, the filing date will instead be 30 June 2026.

Because the payment and filing dates are aligned, the payment date will also be 30 June 2026 in this scenario.

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 Acorn Training Ltd 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 Acorn Training Ltd 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
- Discounts
- 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.

Consultation on the National Survey of Registered Businesses (NSRB)
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-14)

The government is seeking views on the proposed changes to the DBT National Survey of Registered Businesses’ exporting behaviours, attitudes and needs.

The Department of Business and Trade (DBT)’s National Survey of Registered Businesses (NSRB) exporting behaviours, attitudes and needs is a widely-used source of evidence to the department and wider stakeholders. The survey provides insights into business attitudes towards trade, exporting and use of support services.

However, since DBT formed in 2023, the survey has not been adapted to the expanding priorities of the new department. The current NSRB focuses on segmenting businesses in relation to:
- trade activity
- exporting behaviours
- perceived barriers
- business capability
- evaluations of marketing campaigns
These topic areas, while critical to the department, are not representative of the full scope of DBT’s strategic priority areas.

Therefore, DBT is seeking views from relevant stakeholders and users on the proposed changes to the DBT NSRB Official Statistics publication. We are also interested in learning more about those who use the statistics. This consultation is open to all.

As well as reviewing the survey content (topic areas and questions), DBT will consider the frequency of the survey and the outputs produced. We want to ensure survey outputs:
- provide good quality evidence
- are insightful and engaging for users
- deliver value for money
The changes under consideration are outlined in more detail in the consultation document.

To inform this review we would like to understand:
- how the statistics are currently used
- their value to users
- the impact of any proposed changes
Therefore, we ask respondents to complete the consultation questionnaire (https://ditresearch.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9QQBLt2QXduJ3F4) or email your responses to xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx). This is in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics (https://www.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/publication/code-of-practice/).

IHTM47040 - Long-term UK residence: Spousal long-term UK residence elections – election ceasing to have effect
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


The rules for spouse elections prior to 6 April 2025 can be found at IHTM13040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13040) – IHTM13049 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13049).

Once an election is made, it cannot be revoked, IHTA84/S267ZD(7). However, once a person who has made an election has ceased to be resident in the UK for Income Tax purposes for a period of 10 successive tax years beginning any time after the election has been made, the election will cease to have effect at the end of the tenth tax year, IHTA84/S267ZD(8).

For example, if a person who has previously made an election, ceases to be long-term UK resident (IHTM47000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000)) on 31 December 2025, the election will not cease to have effect until the end of 2035-36 - ten successive tax years being 2026-27 to 2035-36 inclusive.

Contrast this with the position where a person making the election is not a long-term UK resident. At the time of making the election, they are already a non-long term UK resident, so the year in which the election is made will count as the first year of non-residence. So, following the example above, 2025-26 is the first year of non-residence, so the election will cease to have effect at the end of 2034-35.

Early years entitlements expansion: MI data
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)

Management information on eligibility codes for the extended childcare entitlement for eligible working parents.

To access a government-funded childcare entitlement place, parents and carers must apply for an eligibility code. The code is then validated by early years providers or local authorities when a place has been secured at an early years setting.

This publication provides the number of eligibility codes issued to parents and the number of codes validated to date.

In March 2023, the government announced that funded childcare hours would be extended to children of eligible working parents in England (https://educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2024/04/08/free-childcare-how-we-tackling-the-cost-of-childcare/) from 9 months old to support increased parental engagement in the labour market.

The policy has a phased rollout, with 15 hours per week for 38 weeks a year offered to eligible parents of 2-year-olds from April 2024 and to eligible parents of children under 2 from September 2024.

As of September 2025, all eligible parents of children aged 9 months and older are able to access 30 hours per week for 38 weeks a year.

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 Pentalec 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 Pentalec 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
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- 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.

Perspectives on the plan for PQC transition
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

Independent research setting out regulator and industry perspectives on the current plan for transition to post-quantum cryptography.

Quantum computers (QC) are ushering in a new paradigm of computing, with the potential to solve currently intractable mathematical problems and to transform industries and economies. Quantum hardware and algorithm development are advancing faster than initially predicted. But the speed and capabilities of quantum will bring about new threats, alongside these new opportunities.

Government and commercial organisations worldwide are making significant investments to develop cryptographically-relevant quantum computers. Within the next decade, quantum computers could be able to break encryption schemes commonly used for cyber security, compromising the privacy and security of digital communications and impacting individuals, organisations, and nations.

The purpose of this study, conducted by Cambridge Consultants and Capgemini on behalf of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), is to explore how UK critical national infrastructure (CNI) organisations are engaging with the need to migrate their cyber security schemes to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

This study focuses on five key CNI sectors in the UK: energy, financial services, healthcare, telecommunications (which in this report includes telecoms operators, IT services and communications infrastructure), and transport.

This work is part of the government’s wider work to assess the threats and opportunities posed by critical and emerging technologies, and to improve UK cyber resilience.

Please note this publication presents independent research commissioned by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. The views expressed do not represent HM Government policy. The research addresses regulator and industry perspectives on the current plan for PQC transition.
