ECSH51575 - Factors to consider when visiting a high value dealer
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-28)


As the high value dealer (HVD) sector is made up of 12 sub-sectors trading in different types of goods, visits to these businesses will differ significantly.

Type of goods

The range of goods traded by HVDs cover a broad spectrum and you will encounter many different types of trading premises. Some HVDs deal in very expensive goods such as jewellery, luxury cars and boats and trade from up-market shops and showrooms. At the other end of the scale, you could be called to visit a dealer in scrap metal, industrial machinery, alcohol wholesale, poultry farms or second-hand trucks operating from a scrapyard.

Operating times

The operating times for HVDs vary based on the business in question. Shops normally trade during retail hours; however, car auctions may operate once a month. Livestock and antiques auctions may trade at weekends or monthly.

Customer base

HVDs customers, who are paying in cash, can be individuals who reside inside or outside of the UK. Within the UK there may be premier league footballers, entrepreneurs, collectors or wealthy individuals buying watches in cash. The travelling community also make payments in cash but typically will have no fixed address.

Types of records

The material you will see will depend on the type of business. The majority of HVDs will be VAT registered and need to keep business records, such as copies of invoices, a cash book, import and export documents, orders and delivery notes, purchase and sales books and records of daily takings such as till rolls. Most will operate computerised accounts.

General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)

A HVD may have concern that by keeping records relating to its customers for the periods and purpose as specified in the MLR 2017, or by sharing records during a compliance visit, may breach their concurrent GDPR obligations. The excuse of 'breaching GDPR' can be countered by reference to Regulation 72 MLR 2017. Regulation 72(2) and (3) provide that a businesses’ compliance in providing information pursuant to regulations 66, 69, 70, 74A or 74B MLR 2017 does not carry with it a civil liability for breaching GDPR obligations nor does that provision of information automatically breach restrictions on the disclosure of information. For more information on GDPR, see ECSH10500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh10500) and ECSH33575 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh33575).
HMAG70800 - Importing Excise Goods: Post clearance amendments to customs import declarations
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-03)


This guidance provides information on how to process post clearance amendments to customs import declarations. This specifically relates to scenarios where an importer intends to withdraw a declaration under regulation 53 of The Customs (Import Duty) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2018/1248/contents), in accordance with paragraph 16 of Schedule 1 of The Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/22/contents).

This usually occurs because the importer intends to change the customs or excise procedure declared on the import declaration. For example, an import declaration is made to the free circulation procedure, but the importer intends to change this to the customs warehousing procedure.

Specific rules must be followed when withdrawing and invalidating customs import declarations that declare excise goods. This is to ensure that UK excise duty is correctly accounted for in accordance with excise legislation.
Supporting farmers to go green in Zambia
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-04)

The UK’s International Climate Finance (ICF) backs sustainable farming and eco-tourism in Zambia to cut emissions and create jobs.

Since 2018, the UK has been supporting the Zambia Integrated Forest Landscapes Project (ZIFL Programme) to support rural communities in the Eastern Province of Zambia, one of the poorest regions of Africa.

In June 2024, Zambia signed an ERPA (https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2021/05/19/what-you-need-to-know-about-emission-reductions-payment-agreements) (Emission Reductions Purchase Agreements). This agreement will ensure local people receive payments in exchange for reducing emissions.

With a goal to cut emissions by 30 million tonnes, equivalent to the UK’s annual emissions from livestock farming (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/final-uk-greenhouse-gas-emissions-statistics-1990-to-2023), the project has already trained over 100,000 farmers in sustainable techniques like crop rotation and agroforestry.

As well as cutting carbon, the project is also working with the Luambe and Lukusuzi National Parks to help build roads and campsites, creating rural jobs through eco-tourism and ensuring the protection of wildlife.

UK International Climate Finance supports the Zambia Integrated Forest Landscapes Project.

East Marine Plans
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-03)

Information and documents on the development of the East Marine Plans

The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 will convert many (EU) measures into UK law. Former EU measures converted into UK law are referred to as ‘retained EU law’ with statutory instruments amending the retained EU law to ensure it is operable. References in this marine plan and supporting documents to EC or EU legislation, EU legislative requirements, European legislation and EU requirements are to be read as references to retained EU law from 1 January 2021. Unless otherwise indicated, a reference to a Directive, or provisions of that Directive, should be read as reference to the legislation which gave effect to the requirements of that Directive (or the provision of that Directive) in the UK, as amended. Such references will be updated when a decision is made to amend or replace the marine plan.

Based on the findings of the third Three-Year report (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/marine-planning-east-marine-plans-three-year-progress-report) the Marine Management Organisation concluded that there is compelling evidence to suggest that the East Marine Plans should be replaced. The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs agreed with the MMOs recommendation made in 2022 to replace the East Marine Plans. The MMO and Defra will work together to develop the process to replace the East Marine Plans, including consultation with stakeholders at each appropriate stage.

Accessible tables and improved quality

As part of the Analysis Function Reproducible Analytical Pipeline Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/standards-for-official-statistics-published-by-the-department-for-transport/analysis-function-rap-strategy-2023-implementation-plan-at-dft), processes to create all National Travel Survey (NTS) statistics tables have been improved to follow the principles of Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP). This has resulted in improved efficiency and quality of NTS tables and therefore some historical estimates have seen very minor change, at least the fifth decimal place.

All NTS tables have also been redesigned in an accessible format where they can be used by as many people as possible, including people with an impaired vision, motor difficulties, cognitive impairments or learning disabilities and deafness or impaired hearing.

The Prime Minister spoke to the leaders of Ukraine, Poland and Italy, as well as the NATO Secretary General this afternoon.

The Prime Minister spoke to the leaders of Ukraine, Poland and Italy, as well as the NATO Secretary General this afternoon.

The Prime Minister began by condemning the outrageous violation of Poland’s airspace. This highlighted Russia’s increased recklessness in recent weeks, including their attacks on the Cabinet of Ministers building, British Council and EU Delegation buildings in Kyiv, he added.

Russia’s ongoing aggression was unacceptable and continued to show why President Putin had no interest in peace, the Prime Minister added.

The UK stood ready to support NATO and Poland to continue to defend the Alliance in the coming days and weeks, while also working with allies to step up support for Ukraine to ensure it had the capability and air defence it required, the Prime Minister said.

The Secretary General updated on the meeting of the North Atlantic Council earlier today, and the leaders paid tribute to Poland’s swift response to this morning’s events.

The leaders agreed to stay in close touch.

ERSM165250 - International from 6 April 2025: Remittance of chargeable FSI from 6 April 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


The Finance Act 2025 introduced a new temporary repatriation facility (TRF) as part of a wider set of measures removing the concept of domicile as a relevant connecting factor in the tax system.

From 6 April 2025 it is no longer possible to use the remittance basis of taxation. However, former remittance basis users may have amounts of pre-6 April 2025 foreign income and gains which arose during a period in which they were subject to the remittance basis, which are capable of being remitted and taxed in the future.

The TRF is aimed at encouraging former remittance basis users to remit those pre-6 April 2025 foreign income and gains, and a low tax rate will be available for individuals that choose to use the TRF. The TRF is a temporary measure, available for a fixed period of 3 years: the 25/26, 26/27 & 27/28 tax years.

The TRF rules can also apply to amounts of “Chargeable Foreign Securities Income” that are remitted to the UK in the 25/26, 26/27 & 27/28 tax years, provided the relevant eligibility criteria is met.

The Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations 2025 Consultation
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-19)

This consultation seeks your views on a new statutory Instrument which will replace the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations 2016 as amended.

The proposed regulations will simplify processes for industry by assimilating the 2016 Regulations, and two 2019 amending SIs, into a single statutory instrument and add clarity.

It will also ensure that Ballast Water Manager Management Systems are not treated differently to other items of marine equipment and will ensure that that the process for getting a Ballast Water Management System approved by the UK is clear and in line with that for getting UK approval for other items of marine equipment.

Gamebirds: decision to not issue the GL45 gamebird general licence for 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-27)

How Defra arrived at its decision to not issue the GL45 gamebird release general licence for 2025.

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) have decided to not issue General licence GL45 for release of gamebirds on or within 500 metres of a SPA (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/gamebirds-licence-to-release-common-pheasants-or-red-legged-partridges-on-specified-special-protection-areas-or-within-500m-of-their-boundary-gl45) in 2025.

Ministers considered that on the basis of all available evidence and advice, it is currently not possible to rule out the risk of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) spreading to the bird features present on special protection areas (SPAs). To release gamebirds on or within 500 metres of a SPA, you will need an individual licence (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/gamebirds-individual-licences-to-release-common-pheasants-or-red-legged-partridges-a10-and-a48).

These documents explain how ministers considered the evidence and came to the decision to not issue GL45 for 2025.

MHRA approves vaccine to protect against pneumococcal infections such as pneumonia and meningitis
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-15)

As with all products, the MHRA will keep its safety under close review.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has today (15 May 2025) approved a vaccine (Capvaxive) for people aged 18 years and older to help protect against illnesses caused by bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae or pneumococcus.

Illnesses caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria include lung infection (pneumonia), inflammation of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) and infection in the blood (bacteraemia). The vaccine works by helping the body to make its own antibodies, which protect against these diseases.

This vaccine has been approved through the International Recognition Procedure (IRP). The IRP allows the MHRA to take into account the expertise and decision-making of trusted regulatory partners for the benefit of UK patients.

The MHRA conducts a targeted assessment of IRP applications and retains the authority to reject applications if the evidence provided is not considered sufficiently robust.

As with any medicine, the MHRA will keep the safety and effectiveness of this vaccine under close review. Anyone who suspects they are having a side effect from this medicine are encouraged to talk to their doctor, pharmacist or nurse and report it directly to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme, either through the website (https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/) or by searching the Google Play or Apple App stores for MHRA Yellow Card.

Notes to editors
- The marketing authorisation was granted on 15 May 2025 to Merck Sharp & Dohme (UK) Limited.
- More information can be found in the Summary of Product Characteristics and Patient Information leaflets which will be published on the MHRA Products website (https://products.mhra.gov.uk/) within 7 days of approval.
- The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is responsible for regulating all medicines and medical devices in the UK by ensuring they work and are acceptably safe. All our work is underpinned by robust and fact-based judgments to ensure that the benefits justify any risks.

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 Cronos Protection 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 Cronos Protection 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
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 a partially exempt business receives reverse charge supplies, they must still apportion the input tax claimable on the supply according to their partial exemption method; it is connected with the outputs it is used to make, not with the output tax accounted for under the reverse charge mechanism.
