Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


The self-assessment return will contain information on the group’s liability to Multinational Top-up Tax and Domestic Top-up Tax.

More specifically, it will contain:
- the group’s Pillar Two reference number, which is issued on registration for MTT and DTT
- the accounting period start and end dates
- the names and Corporation Tax UTRs of entities with a top-up tax liability
- the quantum of the tax liability arising in respect each entity
- the specific Pillar Two tax charge in respect of which any top-up tax liabilities arise (DTT, MTT-IIR or MTT-UTPR)
- details of whether the group has made any of the following elections:
- the election to use UK GAAP as an alternative basis for determining underling profits for the purposes of DTT calculations (see MTT21020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt21020))
- the election to make one member of the group liable to pay the DTT chargeable on any member of the group for that period (see MTT65040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt65040))
- the election to make one member of the group liable to pay the UTPR amounts that would other be allocated between qualifying members of the group located in the UK (MTT62330 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt62330))
If the top-up tax liabilities for DTT, MTT-IIR and MTT-UTPR are all nil, the names and Corporation Tax UTRs of group entities in the UK do not need to be provided. However, a return is still required to be made unless a below threshold notification is in place.

The self-assessment return must be submitted using third party software.

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 Durham Constabulary Headquarters 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Durham Constabulary Headquarters 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.

Ethical considerations associated with Qualitative Research methods
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-29)

This guidance can be used as a practical resource to help researchers identify different ethical issues when conducting qualitative research.

Description

This high-level guidance has been developed by the UK Statistics Authority’s Centre for Applied Data Ethics (CADE), and the UK Government Data Quality Hub (DQHub), based at the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The guidance can be used as a practical resource to help researchers identify different ethical issues when conducting qualitative research.

This guidance is not exhaustive but aims to support researchers navigating the ethical issues surrounding qualitative research projects (particularly in relation to primary data collection). It brings together existing literature on qualitative research methods and their ethical concerns. Links to further resources are provided if you would like to read about aspects in more detail.

The guidance has been created for researchers using qualitative methods within the ONS. However, the ethical considerations discussed, and the mitigations for these, can be more widely applied to all types of qualitative research.

The guidance is divided into several parts:
- An introduction to qualitative research and why ethics matters in this space.
- An overview of some of the ethical considerations associated with qualitative research methods, and some potential mitigations for these issues. This includes an overview of some of the qualitative methods used within the ONS.
- An ethics checklist which summarises the main points covered in this guidance.
- A list of helpful links to further resources.

Planning Inspectorate spending over £250: August 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-14)

All Planning Inspectorate spending over £250 during August 2025

The Planning Inspectorate has determined that the publication of spend data that does or is likely to identify those individuals’ supplying planning appeal decisions services, regardless of the way they supply the services, would pose a credible threat to their personal security. We used the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) as our frame of reference to make this judgement. More specifically that the publication of these spend data is “exempt under FOI to protect the identities of companies and individuals providing services to HM Government”, in particular “where disclosure of either paying department or recipient would pose a personal security threat”. The very real likelihood of a personal security threat is sufficient grounds for redacting spend data that we would ordinarily publish.

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 Glen Earrach Energy 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 Glen Earrach Energy 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
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.
