Barriers and enablers to participation in youth activities research
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)

An independent study of the barriers and enablers to participation in youth activities.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) commissioned an independent provider to conduct the ‘Barriers and Enablers to Participation in Youth Activities’ research.

The report explores the effect of a range of personal characteristics on patterns of participation in youth activities, and the barriers and enablers that explain why.

The research aimed to provide a better understanding of the motivations and patterns of participation amongst different groups of young people, thus informing the design of future policy interventions to engage more young people to participate in the ways they want.

The research draws on analysis of the DCMS Youth Participation Pilot Survey, a nationally representative survey of nearly 2,000 young people aged 10 to 19, as well as interviews with young people and youth sector representatives.

UK backs Mindanao Solar Plant to power 82,000 Filipino families
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-15)

UK-backed 99MW solar plant in South Cotabato begins construction with ₱4.49bn investment, powering 82,000 homes and cutting 66,000 tonnes CO2 annually.

A groundbreaking solar power project that will expand access to clean energy for over 82,000 Filipino families has reached a construction milestone, marking another achievement in the growing partnership between the UK and the Philippines in clean energy development.

The construction of a 99-megawatt solar power plant in Tantangan, South Cotabato officially began earlier this month, representing a ₱4.49 billion investment that demonstrates how UK expertise and financing are helping transform the Philippines’ energy landscape. The project is backed by innovative funding from British International Investment (BII), the UK’s development finance institution, working alongside HSBC and Pentagreen Capital to make this ambitious undertaking possible.

When completed, this solar farm will generate enough clean electricity annually to power more than 82,000 Filipino households while preventing 66,000 tonnes of harmful carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere each year.

Mike Welch, Chargé d’Affaires a.i. at the British Embassy Manila said:

This new joint financing facility between the UK’s British International Investment and Pentagreen, with ib vogt Singapore will support a 99MWp solar power project in South Cotabato, Mindanao, This will have a positive impact on local communities and businesses, as well as supporting the broader energy transition in the country.

The Tantangan Solar Power Plant is being developed by ib vogt, an international solar company and represents their second major solar initiative in Mindanao. Its construction and operational phases will create employment opportunities for local communities, while strengthening the national electricity grid that serves millions of Filipinos.

This latest solar project builds on a growing portfolio of UK investments in Philippine renewable energy, including recent support for wind farms across Luzon and Visayas, and backing for what will become the country’s largest solar installation in Nueva Ecija. These initiatives demonstrate the strong partnership between the UK and the Philippines that is delivering tangible benefits for the community and businesses while advancing global climate action.

RDRM32260 - Remittance Basis: Accessing the remittance basis: Long Term UK Residents: Long tem residents below £2,000 threshold - exception
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


From 6 April 2025 it is not possible to use the remittance basis of taxation, however, any foreign income or gains that have arisen to a former remittance basis user prior to this date will continue to be taxed at the usual tax rates if they are remitted to the UK on or after 6 April 2025, subject to any amounts designated under the temporary repatriation facility (TRF) – see RDRM71000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm71000).

The guidance in this section only applies to tax years up to and including the 2024-25 tax year and remains for reference purposes only.

Under the terms of ITA07/s809D, long-term residents RDRM32210 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm32210) of the UK can use the remittance basis without being liable to the remittance basis charge if they are below the £2,000 threshold. That is, if they have less than £2,000 un-remitted foreign income or gains in a tax year, refer to RDRM32110 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm32110) Un-remitted foreign income and gains below £2,000 threshold for further details.

The important word to note here is ’un-remitted‘- it is not the level of offshore income or gains that arise or accrue during the year which is important, but the amounts that remain offshore (for whatever reason) at the end of the tax year. The limit of £2,000 is an annual limit.

Example

Vanita is resident in the UK since 2000. She is a long-term resident, who is not domiciled within the UK. In 2009-10 her foreign income and gains totalled £105,200 and she remitted £104,000 of this during this tax year. Vanita has £1,200 of foreign income left offshore (or ’un-remitted’) at the end of the tax year.

Even though Vanita is a long term resident, because she has un-remitted income of under £2,000 for this tax year, she can use the remittance basis without claiming it. She does not have to pay the remittance basis charge and retains her entitlement to personal allowances and the ‘annual exempt amount’ RDRM32040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm32040).
Trees to timber: how landowners can benefit from commercial forestry
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-13)

Discover the financial and environmental benefits of home-grown timber for woodland owners.

Timber is a renewable resource vital to sustainable living and the UK’s economy. From construction and furniture to packaging and shipbuilding, the country has a vibrant and robust industry ready to take advantage of home-grown timber.

However, the UK imports 73% of its timber and due to global demand, supply chains are under pressure. Now is a great time to increase our domestic timber production.

Planting and managing woodlands for timber production can:
- help secure our home-grown supply of timber
- capture carbon as trees grow and store it long term in wood products
- reduce reliance on more carbon-intensive materials
- improve biodiversity
- generate income

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.

UK-India CETA Chapter 29: Dispute Settlement
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

Text of chapter 29 of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and India.

This chapter and its annexes establish a robust state-to-state dispute settlement mechanism for resolving certain disputes, should they arise under the agreement.

The UK and India have agreed a modern and comprehensive Dispute Settlement chapter, which will ensure that trade disputes between the UK and India are dealt with in a consistent, fair, cost-effective, transparent, and timely manner. The mechanism balances strong enforcement with the encouragement of dispute prevention and early resolution.

This chapter will signal intent from the UK and India to uphold the agreement. The inclusion of a robust dispute settlement mechanism will also ensure the UK can enforce certain commitments that have been made under agreement.

The chapter ensures that dispute settlement proceedings will be suitably transparent, allowing interested businesses, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other entities to engage in the process while safeguarding confidential information.

The agreement is not yet in force. Both the UK and India are required to complete their respective domestic procedures for the agreement to come into effect. Once ratified by both countries, businesses will be able to trade under its terms.

CTM40360 - Particular bodies: health service bodies: IT deducted from payments received
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-10)


Tax deducted from interest received by a health service body (within the meaning of CTA10/S986, see CTM40355 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm40355), is repayable. The amount concerned may be deducted in arriving at the amount payable on form CT61, see CTM40355, in which case no further repayment is due, or may be the subject of a separate repayment claim, see CTM40365 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm40365).

Some health service bodies purchase annuities to fund damages awards to former patients in negligence cases where those damages are spread over the life of the individual. This type of damages award is known as a 'structured settlement'. Any such annuity is paid to the health service body after deduction of tax. The health service body can reclaim the tax deducted.

If a model structured settlement agreement has been followed, the payments made by the health service body to the former patient will almost certainly be instalments of capital and not income. If so, tax should not be deducted by the health service body from these payments.

Payments to health service bodies on or after 1 October 2002 can however be made without deduction of tax if the conditions in ITA07/S930 are satisfied. The circumstances under which a payment to a health service body can be made gross on or after this date are explained at CTM35215 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm35215).

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 Vanarama 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 Vanarama 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
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.
