The National Citizen Service Trust worked to empower young people as part of the government’s National Youth Guarantee. The National Citizen Service (NCS) was founded in 2009 and granted Royal Charter Body status in 2018. It provided opportunities for 16 to 17 year olds in England to build confidence, develop key skills, and prepare for the world of work through residential trips, community-based projects, and online experiences. NCS delivered almost one and a half million experiences to young people, and through NCS, young people completed more than 18 million hours of volunteering and social action. Over 80% of young people who took part in the NCS programme said they gained valuable skills for the future and 70% agreed that NCS fostered respect for diversity. The National Citizen Service programme concluded on 31 March 2025 and the National Citizen Service Trust will be closed in due course.

ECSH85550 - The decision maker
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-23)


The decision maker (DM) is the caseworker who makes the decision on the appropriate action and/or sanction (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh81075) to take to address breaches of the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017). They are responsible for the decision and any subsequent appeal or review (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh90000) if the customer disagrees with the decision. As such, DMs should familiarise themselves with the information provided by HMRC Legal Group.

Any Economic Crime-Supervision (EC-S) officer can impose a sanction(s) where appropriate to do so, however, generally:
- Authorisations are responsible for raising sanctions relating to registration and approvals identified at the time an application for registration is received, an annual declaration is submitted, or when changes are made to the registration information (including EC-S Large Traders).
- Authorisations fit and proper (F&P) teams are responsible for F&P decisions when an application for registration is received, when an annual declaration is submitted, when an annual declaration is submitted, or when a new Beneficial Owner, Officer, or Manager (BOOM) is added to a business’ registration. They typically review F&P determinations every five years but can review these at any time after a determination has been made.
- Authorisations are also responsible for F&P decisions relating to Money Service Business (MSB) agents.
- Compliance Investigations are responsible for applying sanctions for identified breaches of relevant requirements where they have an open case. They may also decide that a business (or any of its BOOMs) are no longer F&P. This includes Policing the Perimeter (unregistered activity).
The “How we check compliance” section of the Handbook contains more information on the roles and responsibilities (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh32525) in operational teams.

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 Acorn Taxis 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 Acorn Taxis 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:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

CH23524 - Information & Inspection Powers: Information notices: Taxpayer notice: specific rules: Appeals
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-28)


A ‘taxpayer notice’ is a written notice to a person requiring them to provide information or produce documents reasonably required to check their tax position. For the use of first and third party information powers to check the tax position of one or more partners at the same time, see CH225600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch225600).

The person can appeal against
- the notice or
- any requirement in the notice, see CH24320 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch24320).
However, there is no right of appeal against
- a requirement to provide information or produce any document that is part of the person’s statutory records, see CH21700 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch21700)
- a notice or any requirement that requires only statutory records of any person relating to
- the supply of goods or services, or
- the importation of goods in the course of carrying on a business, or
- a notice or any requirement approved by the tribunal. This is because the independent approval safeguards the person’s rights.
See also the general restrictions and rules for information notices at CH22100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch22100) and CH23220 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch23220), and the specific rules for taxpayer notices in this section at CH23522 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch23522) to CH23536 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch23536).

Register as a bird keeper
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-19)

You must register within one month of keeping poultry or other captive birds at any premises in England or Wales.

Registering helps prevent the spread of disease and protect all captive birds, including back yard flocks. You’re breaking the law if you don’t register.

How you register depends on whether you keep:
- less than 50 birds
- 50 or more birds
If you keep certain birds of prey, you must also register them individually.

If you keep racing pigeons, you must register your racing pigeon establishment if you want to move racing pigeons from your establishment to the EU or Northern Ireland for immediate release for racing back to Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales).

If you keep birds in Scotland, register on the Scottish Kept Birds Register (https://www.gov.scot/publications/avian-influenza-bird-flu/pages/register-your-birds/).

Pan-Euro Mediterranean Convention on Rules of Origin (PEM)
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-17)

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is seeking views on the potential impacts of UK accession to the Regional Convention on Pan-Euro Mediterranean Preferential Rules of Origin (PEM).

The Pan-Euro Mediterranean Convention on Rules of Origin (PEM) is a multilateral agreement between 25 contracting parties. It establishes common rules of origin (RoO) among its members to facilitate trade and support the integration of supply chains.

On 26 June 2025, the UK government published its Trade Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-trade-strategy). This included a commitment to engage businesses on the potential merits of UK accession to PEM.

The purpose of this call for evidence is therefore to seek business and partner input on the opportunities and risks that might flow from joining PEM.

We are interested in the views and experiences of businesses across all sectors, sizes and regions that participate in the trade of goods, particularly in the trade of goods with PEM members. Stakeholders from within and outside of the UK are invited to respond.

Unlocking Space for Business: Call 2
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-25)

The UK Space Agency invites proposals for pilot projects to commercialise space solutions within the Financial Services or Transport & Logistics sectors.

Unlocking Space for Business

The UK Space Agency’s Unlocking Space for Business programme is seeking to drive greater long-term adoption of space solutions across commercial end-user businesses operating in the Financial Services and Transport & Logistics sectors in the UK. Following a successful 18-month pilot, the programme is entering phase 2 and is continuing to accelerate adoption of space solutions by businesses and catalysing investment into the UK space sector, by providing grant funding to de-risk pilot projects.

The UK Space Agency invites proposals from end-user business led consortiums, with a space supplier and any relevant integrator organisations, for innovative pilot projects to commercialise space solutions within the Financial Services or Transport & Logistics sectors in the UK.

Funding Available

The UK Space Agency intends to award up to £2,000,000 total funding.

Up to £400,000 of grant funding is available per project. Total project costs may be higher to account for match funding. In exceptional circumstances, the UK Space Agency reserves the right to adjust the value or duration of the grant funding available.

The preferred duration of each project is 6 months (September 2025 – February 2026), with a maximum duration of 7 months. Projects must be ready to start by 1 September 2025 and should aim to conclude by 28 February 2026 but must finish by 31 March 2026. Three of the four milestones should be completed by 31 January 2026; a Commercialisation Plan and Final Report should be delivered by 28 February 2026.

All applications must be submitted in full using the application form by email to the Unlocking Space for Business team at xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) by 4pm BST on 7 July 2025. Late applications will not be accepted and requests to submit late will be refused.

Your application must include:
- Your application form
- Your budget breakdown spreadsheet
- Your National Security Questionnaire (please see guidance on UK Space Agency’s grants page here (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/find-information-on-applying-for-grants-from-the-uk-space-agency#i-have-been-asked-to-complete-a-national-security-questionnaire-and-submit-this-with-my-application-what-does-this-mean))

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 Sanox Group 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 Sanox Group 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:
- 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
- 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.
