Small Business Survey reports
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-20)

This collection brings together all documents relating to Small Business Survey reports dating back to 2007 to 2008.

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) leads the government’s relationship with business. We continuously look for opportunities to improve our engagement with businesses to better understand your views and preferences to enable us to continue to support the whole business community.

To this end we have commissioned BMG Research, an independent social research company, to carry out our regular survey of small and medium enterprises, the 2024 Small Business Survey. This year we aim to get feedback from ~10,000 businesses across the UK between October 2024 and April 2025. We will publish the report in the second half of 2025. See earlier survey reports on this page.

If you receive a call from BMG, we would be grateful if you would spare some time to participate. Your participation will ensure that your business’ views are represented. Responses are treated in the strictest confidence and not attributed to any individual or company.

If you would like more information about the survey, contact the project manager at BMG, Emma Osborne at: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

How interest is calculated - Plan 1
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-01)

Find out how interest is calculated and applied if you have a Plan 1 student loan, as well as previous interest rates.

When interest is applied

You’re charged interest from the day we make your first payment to you or to your university or college until your loan has been repaid in full or cancelled. Interest is added to your balance each month.

The interest rate charged is either the Retail Price Index or the Bank of England base rate plus 1%, whichever is lower.

What is the Retail Price Index?

It’s a measure of inflation, which measures changes to the cost of living in the UK.

When the interest rate changes

The interest rate is usually set on 1 September each year, based on the Retail Price Index of the previous March, but it can change during the year too.

Previous interest rates

The rates in the table apply to Plan 1 loans only.

INTM603220 - Transfer of assets abroad: Non-domiciled and deemed domiciled settlors from 6 April 2017 to 5 April 2025: When an individual becomes deemed domiciled
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


The changes introduced in paragraphs 27 to 38 of Part 2, Schedule 8 of Finance (No. 2) Act 2017 only apply to:
- non-resident trusts settled by non-UK domiciled individuals, or to
- trusts established by non-domiciled long-term UK residents who have become UK deemed domiciled by virtue of their long-term residence.
It is therefore important to understand the different categories under which an individual can become UK deemed domiciled as the changes will not apply to all individuals who are UK deemed domiciled.

ITA07/S835BA sets out the conditions under which an individual will be treated as UK deemed domiciled for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts or the Capital Gains Tax Act. For an individual to be treated as UK deemed domiciled, the individual must not be UK domiciled at any time in the relevant tax year under consideration and they must meet Condition A or Condition B.

Condition A

Condition A is that:
- the individual was born in the UK,
- the individual’s domicile of origin was the UK, and
- the individual is UK resident for the relevant tax year.
Condition B

Condition B is that the individual has been UK resident for at least 15 of the 20 tax years immediately preceding the relevant tax year.

Condition B is not met if:
- the individual is not UK resident for the relevant tax year, and
- there is no tax year beginning after 5 April 2017 and preceding the relevant tax year when the individual was UK resident.
The changes made to the application of the transfer of assets abroad provisions to settlors of non-resident trusts who are not UK domiciled or who are UK deemed domiciled only apply to individuals who are UK deemed domiciled under Condition B above, i.e. individuals who have been UK resident for at least 15 of the previous 20 tax years.

For those settlors of non-resident trusts who are UK deemed domiciled under Condition A, the changes will not apply. Such individuals will be assessable to income tax under ITA07/S720 or ITA07/S727 on the income of the trust and its underlying entities as the income arises.

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 Rogan’s Restoration 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 Rogan’s Restoration 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
- 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.

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 Centurion Traffic Management 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.

Deputy Head of Mission (DHM) Paul Huggins participated in the launch of Guatemala's National Plastics Action Partnership (NPAP).

During the event, he offered closing remarks highlighting the United Kingdom’s commitment to the Global Plastics Action Partnership (GPAP), of which Guatemala has been a member since January 2025, and underscored the importance of international collaborations in addressing global environmental challenges.

DHM Huggins praised Guatemala’s leadership in creating inclusive, evidence-based policies and welcomed its recent membership in the UK-founded High Ambition Coalition to End Plastic Pollution (HAC). He also reaffirmed the United Kingdom’s commitment to concluding negotiations for a legally binding global treaty on plastics by August of this year.

The event was attended by the Minister of Environment, Patricia Orantes; the Vice Minister for Climate Change, Edwin Castellanos, and representatives of partner organizations and implementers of the NPAP in Guatemala.

The UK, through the Blue Planet Fund and in collaboration with other partners has contributed £24 million to the GPAP program since 2018, supporting initiatives that promote the circular economy and improve the conditions of informal waste workers.
