Company insolvencies, December 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-21)

Monthly tables and commentary on the numbers, rates and sectors of companies that have entered formal insolvency procedures in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Main messages for England and Wales

Annual summary for 2024

In 2024, there were 23,872 registered company insolvencies comprising 18,840 creditors’ voluntary liquidations (CVLs), 3,230 compulsory liquidations, 1,597 administrations, 202 company voluntary arrangements (CVAs) and three receivership appointments. The total number of company insolvencies in 2024 was 5% lower than in 2023, which saw the highest annual number since 1993.

The change in total company insolvency numbers in 2024 was mostly driven by CVLs, which were 8% lower than the record high numbers seen in 2023. The number of compulsory liquidations increased by 14% from 2023 and was at the highest level since 2014. Administrations (up 2%) and CVAs (up 9%) were both higher than in 2023.

One in 191 companies on the Companies House effective register (at a rate of 52.4 per 10,000 companies) entered insolvency in 2024, a decrease from the 57.2 per 10,000 companies that entered insolvency in 2023. The 2024 insolvency rate is much lower than the peak of 113.1 per 10,000 companies seen during the 2008-09 recession, even though 2023 and 2024 saw similar numbers of insolvencies to 2008 and 2009. This is because the number of companies on the effective register has more than doubled.

Monthly summary for December 2024

After seasonal adjustment, the number of registered company insolvencies in England and Wales was 1,838 in December 2024, 6% lower than in November 2024 (1,962) and 14% lower than the same month in the previous year (2,139 in December 2023). The number of company insolvencies remained much higher than those seen both during the COVID-19 pandemic and between 2014 and 2019.

Company insolvencies in December 2024 consisted of 273 compulsory liquidations, 1,421 CVLs, 127 administrations and 17 CVAs. There were no receivership appointments. Compulsory liquidations and CVA numbers were higher than in November 2024, but CVLs and administrations were lower.

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.

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

Independent Prison Capacity Review: final report
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-11)

The Independent Prison Capacity Review examines the prison capacity crisis and offers recommendations to help future governments avoid recurring crises.

In 2024, the Lord Chancellor announced a review into the handling of prison capacity. The Independent Prison Capacity Review, led by Dame Anne Owers, looked at the origins of the capacity crisis, the reasons why supply and demand did not meet, and the consequences for prisons and other parts of criminal justice. It sets out recommendations to help future governments avoid the cycle of repeated prison capacity crises. The review analysed strategic supply and demand choices, how these choices affected remaining prison capacity, the governance structures and decision-making process, and the impact of the crisis on the wider criminal justice system. Dame Anne Owers offers recommendations to prevent such crises happening again by setting up and reinforcing systems that do not just signal problems and approaching crises, but stimulate preventive action to avoid them. This includes ensuring sufficient capacity in probation and community services.

Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of goods under Temporary Admission
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-04)

Rules and conditions for maintenance, repair and overhaul of goods under Temporary Admission.

Once goods are placed under TA, they can undergo routine maintenance and repairs to preserve their condition.

The following operations are allowable under TA:
- overhaul (including repairs necessary while the goods are under TA and where repairs are not the intended purpose for import)
- maintenance including adjustments and measures to preserve the goods and to ensure their compliance with the technical requirements for their use under the procedure
Goods must be put to a specific use in the first instance and cannot be declared to TA for the sole purpose of repair or maintenance. If you are temporarily importing goods for repair or processing, Inward Processing (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/special-procedure-inward-processing) may be an option.

Inward Processing (IP) is another Customs Special Procedure suspending duties and VAT for goods imported into the UK for processing or repair.

Example 1

If an aircraft routinely enters GB under TA due to its commercial operations (for example, carrying passengers) and requires overhaul or maintenance while in GB, then this overhaul or maintenance is allowed under TA. If an aircraft is imported for the sole purpose of repair this would not qualify under the conditions for TA, and the importer should consider using IP instead.

Example 2

A painting is imported into the UK for exhibition purposes and arrives with minor damage sustained during transit, necessitating small repairs. This is permitted under TA. However, if the painting was to undergo significant alterations (such as restoration) this would fall outside the scope of TA, and the importer should consider using Inward Processing IP instead.

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 Veterans In Communities 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 Veterans In Communities 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
- 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.

ETASSUM34120 - Schedule 3 SAYE option schemes: Linkage to savings (arrangement): Deductions from pay
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-19)


The Prospectus requires that the monthly contributions should normally be made through deductions from pay. The following exceptions have been allowed:
- Where the employer is a clearing bank and every employee has a current account with the bank, contributions may be made by standing order,
- If employees are paid weekly, monthly contributions may be made out of a 'feeder account' for each employee (see ETASSUM34110 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employee-tax-advantaged-share-scheme-user-manual/etassum34110)),
- If an employee is on maternity leave,
- If an employee is on parental or adoption leave,
- If an employee is on neonatal care leave
- If an employee is a reservist called up for military service,
- If an employee is on long-term sick leave,
- If an employee is on secondment,
- If an employee moves from a company to an associated company which is not in the UK and which is unable to operate the required payroll processes,
- If an employee is on sabbatical leave, or
- After cessation of employment the participant will normally be allowed to continue making monthly contributions direct to the savings body:
- either for a period of up to six months to accumulate extra savings with which to exercise an option during that period,
- or for the remainder of the 36 (or 60) months to the maturity of the savings contract, if the ex-employee is unable or chooses not to exercise his or her share option.
If a person dies before he has completed the payment of 36 (or 60) monthly contributions, no further contributions can be made under his savings contract.

It is not permissible for an employee to use a third-party loan or other finance arrangement to increase the amount they save under the scheme. The SAYE scheme must be operated in accordance with the Prospectus which stipulates that contributions shall be made by way of deductions from pay.

If participants found themselves unable to make monthly contributions from their salary, due to having to take unpaid leave during the coronavirus pandemic, HMRC permitted payments to be made via standing order. Deductions from salary should have recommenced at the earliest opportunity.
