CTM41335 - Particular bodies: unincorporated associations: cessation
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-03)


CTA10/S1030 (distributions in a winding-up) does not in general apply to the dissolution of unincorporated associations because these have no share capital or anything analogous to it. But an exception to this was the deed of settlement company, see CTM41320 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm41320), which had a share capital but was unincorporated. The joint capital stock was held in trust in members’ shares. Such companies were superseded when incorporation by registration was introduced in the 1844 Joint Stock Companies Act.

Concession ESCC15, see CTM15540 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm15540), may apply if
- substantially the whole of an association's activities have been of a social or recreational nature,
- it has not carried on an investment business or a trade other than a mutual trade, and
- the amount distributed to each member is not large (£2000 or less, as a guide).
The association is then given the usual option (as with CTA10/S1030A, and before that ESCC16) of not having Corporation Tax distribution treatment applied and of having the whole of the amounts distributed treated as capital receipts of the members for the purpose of calculating any chargeable gains arising to them on the disposal of their individual interests in the association. CTA10/S1117 (1) specifically provides that a member's interest in an association is to be regarded as a ‘share’, so that distributions of the assets are qualifying distributions. The amount would, however, be limited by CTA10/S1071 to distributions made out of profits brought into CT charge or out of franked investment income.

The dissolution of an unincorporated association is not considered to constitute a ‘winding up’ as such, as this is a prescribed legal process.

IEIM8000450 - Validation of self-certificates
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-04)


In addition to collecting a self-certificate, the RCASP must confirm the reasonableness of the self-certificate. In undertaking this test, the RCASP should make use of other information it holds, such as documents relating to AML or KYC procedures.

The CARF provides a number of useful examples of this test:

Example 1

CryptoGlobal is an RCASP and has collected a self-certificate from a new user. Upon examining the self-certificate, the tax residence listed is different to the tax residence listed in the KYC information collected by CryptoGlobal. The self-certificate fails the reasonableness test.

Example 2

CryptoGlobal receives a self-certificate from a new user. The address information provided within the self-certificate is not within the tax jurisdiction that the user claims to be resident in. This self-certificate fails the reasonableness test.

Example 3

CryptoGlobal receives a self-certificate from an entity user. The place of incorporation in the know your customer (KYC) verification document differs from the jurisdiction of residence in the self-certificate. The entity user explains to CryptoGlobal that its place of effective management is different to its country of incorporation, hence the jurisdiction of tax residence differs. This is a reasonable explanation and passes the reasonableness test.

Where an existing self-certificate fails the reasonableness test, the RCASP should seek a new self-certificate, or evidence to support or explain any deficiency. Any evidence that is collected that satisfies the RCASP that the reasonableness test is met should be retained by the RCASP.

If at any point the RCASP becomes aware that the self-certificate provided no longer meets the reasonable test, a new self-certificate, or evidence to support the original self-certificate is required.

A self-certificate becomes invalid on the day that the RCASP becomes aware it no longer meets the reasonableness test.

Definitions

Sovereign Risk Entity

Sovereign risk entities are defined as entities explicitly legally mandated to enter into a debt payment obligation on behalf of the Sovereign State. These are typically a Ministry of Finance or Central Bank.

Medium/Long-term transaction

A medium or long-term transaction is defined as a transaction where the credit terms, also known as the repayment period, are longer than 2 years.

Repayment profile

The repayment profile is the structure given to the periodic repayments of the loan. We have assumed a regular semi-annual repayment profile with equal payments of loan principal.

Product quality

The product quality depends on whether the product is a guarantee, direct loan or insurance, and the risks that are covered. There are three categories defined in the OECD Arrangement, with minimum premium rates increased for higher quality products that provide more comprehensive cover. Our buyer credit and direct lending facilities are priced as Above standard quality (the highest of the three categories).

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 Thoughtify Ltd 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 Thoughtify Ltd 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:

Anti-dumping duty on Chinese ceramic tableware maintained
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

The TRA has confirmed that an anti-dumping measure on ceramic tableware and kitchenware from China will remain in place to prevent injury to UK industry.

On 25 November 2025, the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) confirmed that the UK Government will maintain an anti-dumping measure on certain ceramic tableware and kitchenware products imported from China for a further five years, until 16 July 2029.

The decision follows a detailed transition review which found that (https://www.trade-remedies.service.gov.uk/public/case/TD0056/submission/f669caed-1d55-4f53-b6f8-aade437976c4/), if the measures were removed, dumping from China would be likely to continue in increased volumes and injury to the UK industry would likely recur.

Maintaining these measures will help to defend a UK ceramics industry worth around £100 million annually in production, in a UK market valued at approximately £350 million. In 2024, Chinese imports accounted for 67% of all imports in this category, often priced below similar products made by UK manufacturers.

The reviewed products include commonly used ceramic items such as plates, bowls, cups and various cookware. Anti-dumping duties will remain at their current levels, ranging from 13.1% to 36.1% depending on the exporter.

Notes to editors:
- The transition review was initiated on 15 May 2024.
- The Statement of Essential Facts was published on 12 June 2025, followed by a three-week comment period.
- The TRA is the UK’s independent body responsible for investigating whether trade remedies are needed to counter unfair import practices.
- Anti-dumping duties allow a country or union to act against goods which are being sold at less than their normal value – this is defined as the price for ‘like goods’ sold in the exporter’s home market.
- The period of investigation (POI) is 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. To assess injury, the TRA has chosen the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2024 as the injury period (IP).

Every port, airport or any other place through which goods can be imported must be approved for customs purposes. These approvals require specific clauses relating to the premises where examination/sampling will take place. In particular such places must have facilities to enable:
- all examinations to be undertaken within the terms and conditions of Health and Safety guidance and that any necessary equipment or protective clothing must be available for use by the examining officer
- the quantity of goods to be accurately determined. Such approvals must specify, amongst other things, that any equipment necessary for weighing, measuring or otherwise taking account of the goods must be calibrated, maintained in a satisfactory condition and kept clean and free from contamination
- the goods to be examined thoroughly in accordance with EU guidelines and without risk of deterioration
- samples to be taken and stored in accordance with Departmental and health requirements.
The terms of approval are important as they:
- enable importers to ensure the integrity of their product during the examination and sampling process
- protect officers from subsequent complaints by importers that the product was contaminated or damaged as a direct consequence of an examination being conducted in unsuitable premises, and
- allow all necessary assistance to be provided to enable customs to perform their statutory examination and sampling of selected goods.
General guidance on approvals can be found in the Wharf approvals (WHFA) and C7-12: Aerodromes Control guidance. A selection of model approval letters can be found on the CAP UoE Intranet site.

Rapist who posed as professional photographer has sentence increased
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-02)

A sexual predator who posed as a photographer to lure women to his home before sexually abusing them has sentence increased after Solicitor General  intervenes.

Anthony Williams (40), from Gloucester, has had his eight-year sentence increased to 12 years by the Court of Appeal after the Solicitor General referred his case under the Unduly Lenient Sentence (ULS) scheme.

The court heard that Williams pretended to be a professional photographer, approaching women online and luring them to his makeshift studio at his home.

During the photoshoot, Williams encouraged the women to undress before he sexually abused them.

He carried out 17 attacks over the course of nine photoshoots between July 2021 and December 2021.

In victim impact statements several women spoke about how much Williams had impacted their mental health. One victim said: “I find myself feeling like a mere shadow of my former self.”

The Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP said:

Williams exploited and manipulated women into thinking they were taking part in professional photo shoots but this was just part of a grim scheme to brutally assault them for his own sexual gratification.

Protecting women and girls is an absolute priority for this government and I would like to offer my sympathies to the victims. I welcome the court’s increase to this sentence.

Anthony Williams was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment on 22 January 2025 after a jury at Gloucester Crown Court found him guilty of 14 counts of sexual assault, two counts of assault by penetration and one count of rape. The court also imposed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for life.

On 15 April 2025 at the Court of Appeal, Anthony Williams had his sentence increased to 12 years.

In our current Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nuclear-decommissioning-authority-priorities-and-progress#strategy) we use the following five strategic themes to describe all the activities needed to deliver the NDA’s mission:
- Spent Fuels
- Nuclear Materials
- Integrated Waste Management
- Site Decommissioning and Remediation
- Critical Enablers
Our Business Plan (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nuclear-decommissioning-authority-priorities-and-progress#business-plans) sets out the key activities and the progress we expect across all of our sites during the next 3 years, in line with the funding allocated by the Department for Energy, Security and Net Zero.

Currently, the most urgent task is dealing with our sites’ highest-hazard materials, spent fuel, nuclear materials and highly-radioactive wastes.

Once the inventory has been made safe, the redundant nuclear facilities can be dismantled and demolished.

We report on the progress of the activities during the year in our mid-year performance report (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nuclear-decommissioning-authority-priorities-and-progress#in-year-performance-report-against-business-plan) and at the end of the financial year through our Annual Report and Accounts.

Across our four driving themes, we break our mission down into 47 strategic outcomes. These outcomes represent the significant pieces of work that have to be achieved to deliver our mission. Progress against these outcomes are reported on in our Mission Progress Report (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nuclear-decommissioning-authority-priorities-and-progress#annual-report-and-accounts).

We are committed to making the journey towards delivering our mission a sustainable one. In our Sustainability Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nuclear-decommissioning-authority-priorities-and-progress#sustainability) we are focused on transforming nuclear legacies into sustainable opportunities.

Take a look at these case studies to see how a development loan has benefitted other small and medium housebuilders.

Through the government’s Home Building Fund, Homes England provides development loans to small and medium housebuilders. With the dual aim of getting much needed homes built, and creating a more diverse and resilient housing market, the Fund supports smaller house builders that struggle to access finance through traditional bank lenders, with loans starting from £250,000.

Homes England has offered this kind of loan financing for a number of years and by enabling new entrants to build their track record, it has helped hundreds of small builders to build more homes and grow their business. Take a look at some of the case studies below to see how a development loan has helped other small to medium housebuilders.

The application was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for consideration by Ecotricity (Heck Fen Solar) Limited on 15 February 2023 and accepted for Examination on 13 March 2023.

Following an examination during which the public, statutory consultees and interested parties were given the opportunity to give evidence to the Examining Authority, recommendations were made to the Secretary of State on 9 May 2024.

This is the 88th energy application out of 146 applications examined to date and was again completed by the Planning Inspectorate within the statutory timescale laid down in the Planning Act 2008.

Local communities continue to be given the opportunity of being involved in the examination of projects that may affect them. Local people, the local authority and other interested parties were able to participate in this six-month examination.

The Examining Authority listened and gave full consideration to all local views and the evidence gathered during the examination before making its recommendation to the Secretary of State.
