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 Cardinal Newman Catholic School 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 Cardinal Newman Catholic School 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 Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
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.

COM110110 - Pursuit: automatic and clerical pursuit: clerical pursuit for groups of companies
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-19)


Where a number of companies are part of a Group Payment Arrangement (GPA), you should take no pursuit action on a participating company until the GPA is cleared. After clearance, each participating company is treated individually again. For further information see COM96000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com96000).

The information below relates to all other groups of companies.

Where there are a number of companies in a group, an Accounting Period (AP) for local pursuit for an individual company is referred to the appropriate Debt Management Office as explained in COM110050 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com110050). It follows that different companies in the group could be referred to different Debt Management Offices.

Where more than one Debt Management Office is involved, in approaching individual companies for payment you should consider collection of the liabilities at the Debt Management Office dealing with the parent company.

It may be necessary for the co-ordinating Debt Management Office to:
- contact the office responsible for the parent company
- liaise with each Debt Management Office dealing with each individual company
- arrange to transfer case responsibility of each individual company to the co-ordinating Debt Management Office

If an authorisation holder changes the name or trading style but does not transfer the business and assets to a new legal entity, the existing authorisation may continue in the new name or trading style. The Supervising Office should confirm this by letter upon receipt of notification from the authorisation holder.

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 Moorhouse Consulting 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 Moorhouse Consulting 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
- Armed 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.

If an individual has received a loan or an advance from a company and that loan or advance is released or written off while they are temporarily non-resident a charge arises at that time, regardless of whether they are UK resident.

However, this charge may be removed under the terms of double taxation agreements between the UK and the country in which they are temporarily resident. When the original charge is removed under these conditions, a new liability will arise on the period of their return. See CTM61657 for more information.

BLM20155 - Defining long funding leases: basic definition: lease in a sale and finance leaseback (CAA01/S70K (1)(c))
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-15)


This manual is being updated to reflect FRS 102 (2024 amendments). For guidance on the tax treatment of accounts prepared under IFRS 16 or the revised FRS 102, please refer to pages within the BLM50000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm50000) chapter.

The third of the definitions means that the lease in a sale and finance leaseback is a long funding lease.

This definition is needed because, under GAAP, it might be argued that the lease in a sale and finance leaseback should be accounted for as if it were a loan. Section 70K (1)(c) removes any doubt about the tax treatment, which is discussed at BLM16005 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm16005).

The concept of a sale and finance leaseback is defined in CAA01/S221, see CA28500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-allowances-manual/ca28500). An important feature of the definition is that the lease must be accounted for as a finance lease by the lessor. It does not matter how the lessee accounts for the lease.
