How to reimburse bus operators for concessionary travel
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-07)

How local authorities can calculate reimbursement to bus operators that carry concessionary passholders.

Guidance to help travel concession authorities calculate reimbursement to bus operators for carrying concessionary passholders under the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS).

To calculate reimbursement for the tax year 2026 to 2027, use the 2026 to 2027 guides with the:
- concessionary bus travel reimbursement calculator (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/concessionary-bus-travel-reimbursement-calculator)
- concessionary travel appeals form and guidance for applicants (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/concessionary-bus-travel-applications-proforma)
The 2024 to 2025 guidance was updated as part of a review of the ENCTS. Details of the review and update of the guidance and calculator can be found in the 2024 to 2025 guidance and methodology report.

The calculator and guidance are also informed by Prior research into the reimbursement of concessionary fares (https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20111005175844/http:/www.dft.gov.uk/publications/research-into-the-reimbursement-of-concessionary-fares) from 2010.

Minor annual updates were made to the 2026 to 2027 guidance, including updating the years where relevant.

The National Archives has copies of previous reimbursing bus operators for concessionary travel guidance (https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20241108231853/https:/www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-reimbursing-bus-operators-for-concessionary-travel).

Evicting tenants overview
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-13)

This guide covers the procedures that landlords must follow when they need a tenant to  leave their property.

The Renters’ Rights Act will change laws about renting and this guidance has been published to help private rented sector landlords and agents prepare. The new rules will apply on or from 1 May 2026. For information on the current law, refer to the existing guidance on evicting tenants (https://www.gov.uk/evicting-tenants).

You will need to follow strict procedures if you need your tenants to leave your property.

You may be guilty of harassing or illegally evicting your tenants (https://www.gov.uk/evicting-tenants/harassment-and-illegal-evictions) if you do not follow the correct procedures. Illegal eviction is a criminal offence that can lead to a prison sentence.

This guidance is for England only. There’s different guidance on:

evicting tenants in Northern Ireland (https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/protection-against-eviction)

evicting tenants in Scotland (https://www.mygov.scot/ending-a-tenancy-as-a-landlord/)

renting out homes and evicting tenants in Wales (https://www.gov.wales/renting-homes-landlords)

How you evict tenants will depend on what type of agreement they have (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/renting-out-your-property-guidance-for-landlords-and-letting-agents/tenancy-types).

Assured periodic tenancies

On or after 1 May 2026, if you let a property to tenants, it will usually be an assured periodic tenancy.

If you have an assured periodic tenancy, you will only be able to start the process to evict your tenant with a section 8 notice (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/renting-out-your-property-guidance-for-landlords-and-letting-agents/giving-notice-to-evict-tenants).

If your tenant owes rent and gets housing benefits

If they claim Universal Credit or Housing Benefit, you may be able to get the rent paid straight to you instead of evicting them. This is known as ‘managed payments’.

Apply to the Department for Work and Pensions (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-and-rented-housing--2/universal-credit-and-rented-housing-guide-for-landlords) if your tenant is claiming Universal Credit.

Contact the local council (https://www.gov.uk/find-local-council) that pays your tenant’s benefits if they are claiming Housing Benefit.

You can contact us using this form (https://submitanenquiry.communities.gov.uk/start-now) if you have any questions. If there is a technical problem with the page, you can report it at the bottom of this page.
COM90060 - Payments: processing payments: suspense / payments in advance
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-08)


A payment intended for a COTAX Accounting Period (AP) is automatically allocated to the company’s suspense record when the intended AP does not match an AP on the company’s record or there is no charge on an AP with a status of ‘exempt’ or ‘superseded’.

A payment is allocated to OAS, not suspense, when the UTR shown on a payslip does not match any taxpayer record.

Payments allocated to the company’s suspense record may be referred to as ‘payments in advance’ and the company can see them online in ‘View account’ on ‘Your Tax Account’.

You may view details of all payments allocated to and reallocated from the suspense record by selecting AP number ‘PA’, which appears at the end of the list of APs in function VPPD (View Payment and Posting Details) screen B.

A suspense record ‘PA’ is only created for a company when a payment is allocated to suspense.

When a payment is allocated to suspense, the case appears on GBP LSUP (Payments in Suspense List) work list. Although it is an immediate action work list, GBP cannot guarantee to identify charges immediately they are raised and make the necessary reallocation. You must therefore always check a company’s suspense record before contacting it regarding unpaid liability.

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 Argyll and Bute Council 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 Argyll and Bute Council 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
- 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.
Digital status, right to rent: data protection impact assessment
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-12)

This DPIA concerns right to rent, one of the 3 online services which enable people with an immigration status to check and share their status online.

This data protection impact assessment (DPIA) concerns “right to rent”.

All landlords in England have a responsibility to carry out right to rent checks. This is done by landlords conducting simple checks before they rent a property, to make sure the individual is not disqualified from accessing the private rented sector.

The Home Office has developed the online right to rent checking service to support landlords in conducting secure right to rent checks and make it easier for individuals to demonstrate their right to rent. The service allows landlords/agents to check that current/prospective tenants have the right to rent.

Measuring Social Value Paper 8: Measuring the Placemaking Impacts of Commercial-led Regeneration
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-24)

The eighth paper in a series of Homes England research reports on measuring social value.

As part of Homes England’s mission to drive regeneration and housing delivery, the agency has been undertaking a comprehensive programme of research aimed at strengthening the approach to economic appraisal and the measurement of social value. This has been carried out in close collaboration with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), with the research aligned to the department’s appraisal guide (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-mhclg-appraisal-guide/the-mhclg-appraisal-guide) and the HM Treasury Green Book (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-green-book-appraisal-and-evaluation-in-central-government).

The eighth paper to be published as part of this research programme focuses on the measurement placemaking impacts of commercial-led regeneration, building on a previous study on residential placemaking (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/measuring-the-placemaking-impacts-of-housing-led-regeneration).

Given the data constraints and limited number of case studies, it has not been possible to reach broad conclusions about the type of schemes likely to generate placemaking impacts and the scale of these effects. However, the research provides supporting evidence of the possible positive role commercial-led development can play in delivering regeneration and that local property market displacement effects can potentially be mitigated through development with clear placemaking objectives.

BIM70000 - Cash basis: contents

This chapter explains the cash basis. This is a simpler way for eligible businesses to calculate their taxable income, allowing them to be taxed on the basis of receipts less payments of allowable expenses. For the rest of this chapter, any references to trade include professions and vocations.

For tax years up to 5 April 2024 please refer to the guidance within pages BIM70005 to BIM70100. This also explains the alternative basis for barristers.

Further changes to cash basis were introduced in Finance Act 2024 which apply to tax years starting on or after 6 April 2024 (2024-25). All eligible businesses (see BIM72010) must start using the cash basis from 6 April 2024, unless they elect to calculate their profits in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Please refer to the guidance within pages BIM72005 to BIM72073 for tax years 2024-25 onwards.

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 Unity Health 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 Unity Health 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
We also pledge the following:

within the confines of NHS Recruitment and Employment Standards, seeking to support the employment of veterans young and old and Service spouses/partners; aiming to ensure we are aware of veterans and ensure they receive accelerated access to NHS services where appropriate

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.
