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 Campbell & McConnachie 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 Campbell & McConnachie 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
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.

The furnished holiday lettings rules cease to apply in tax years commencing on or after 6 April 2025 for Income Tax and for Capital Gains Tax, and 1 April 2025 for Corporation Tax and for Corporation Tax on chargeable gains.

Treatment of FHL losses for 2011-12 onwards

ITA07/83-88 and ITA07/96-101

If a customer’s FHL business makes a loss it can set it against FHL profits of a later year. A loss in a UK FHL business can only be carried forward against a profit of the same UK FHL business. Likewise, a loss in an EEA FHL business can only be carried forward against the profits of the same EEA FHL business.

A customer cannot set the losses of one FHL business against the profits of the other if they have both a UK and an EEA FHL business. In addition, a customer cannot set losses of a FHL business against the profits of a non-FHL property business.

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.

Insolvency practitioner sanctions: Lisa Ion 31 March 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-15)

On 31 March a Disciplinary Consent Order was made against Mrs Lisa Ion of Liverpool

Mrs Lisa Ion in her capacity as Liquidator in 9 cases failed to take reasonable steps to ensure that the RP15 forms were submitted to the Redundancy Payments Service as soon as was reasonably practicable, as required by Section 125(3) of the Pension Schemes Act 1993. This was in breach of the fundamental principle of Professional Competence and Due Care as set out in R2103.1(b) of the Insolvency Code of Ethics (effective from 1 May 2020).

Mrs Lisa Ion is therefore liable to disciplinary action under Disciplinary Bye-law 4.1b (effective from 14 October 2019 to 31 May 2023 and effective from 1 June 2023).

International Science Partnerships Fund: evaluation framework
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-06)

Evaluation framework for the International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF)

This report presents the evaluation framework including finalised Theory of Change (ToC), performance metrics and methods for the International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF). The ISPF is an international science, research, technology and innovation (SRTI) initiative, funded and managed by the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).

The evaluation framework establishes the foundations and plans for subsequent evaluation work. It will ensure that appropriate and robust data collection processes for monitoring and evaluation are established, agreed, and planned from the start. Additionally, it also provides any early overview into the fund itself, through an initial mapping of the ISPF portfolio.

The evaluation framework and portfolio analysis seek to address the following questions:
- have ISPF activities been designed to achieve the Fund’s objectives?
- are the right key performance indicators (KPIs) and reporting processes in place to effectively monitor ISPF performance and achievements, to assess VfM and answer evaluation questions?
- what does VfM look like in ISPF? How can DSIT and partner organisations (POs) contribute to good VfM?
- how should future evaluation stages for ISPF be designed to answer the evaluation questions? What evaluation methods should be used?
In August 2025 we published a baseline evaluation of key indicators with updated mapping and analysis of the ISPF portfolio (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/international-science-partnership-fund-baseline-evaluation).

Apply for an exception from registering for VAT
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-20)

Apply for VAT registration exception from HMRC if you've temporarily gone over the VAT registration threshold.

When to apply

You’ll normally need to register for VAT if you’re a sole trader or a business, and your total taxable turnover for the last 12 months goes over the VAT registration threshold.

However, you may not have to register if, at the end of any month, both of the following apply:
- your taxable supplies went over the registration threshold in the last 12 months
- you can show that your taxable supplies will not go over the deregistration threshold in the next 12 months
This is called exception from registration. You’ll need to apply to HMRC to make this exception official.

This is not the same thing as exemption from registration for VAT. Read section 3.11 of VAT notice 700/1 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-notice-7001-should-i-be-registered-for-vat) to find out when you might be exempt from registration.

How to apply

Contact HMRC by telephone (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/contact/vat-enquiries) to request form VAT1.

We’ll ask you why you need the form. Tell us that you want to apply for exception from registering for VAT.

We’ll send you form VAT1 and form VAT5EXC. You’ll need to complete both these forms and return them to us to apply for exception.

After you’ve applied

Once we get your application, we’ll write to you within 40 working days. Our letter will tell you whether we’ve approved your application or not.

If we approve your application for exception

We will not register you for VAT. This does not mean that you will never have to register.

You must keep checking the value of all your taxable supplies every month, to see whether you’ve gone over the registration threshold. If you do, you must either:
- register for VAT
- apply for exception again
If we refuse your application for exception

If we refuse your application, our letter will explain why.

We’ll use the information you provided on form VAT1 to register you for VAT (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/register-for-vat). You’ll need to account for VAT from the date you were liable.

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 Intelligence Fusion 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 Intelligence Fusion 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
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.

CTM92840 - Corporation Tax self assessment: quarterly instalments: non-resident company landlords
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-11)


FA19/Sch 5/Para 48

From 6 April 2020, non-resident companies receiving UK property income will be chargeable to Corporation Tax instead of Income Tax on this income.

Where a non-resident company is chargeable to Income Tax on its property income immediately before 6 April 2020 and becomes chargeable to Corporation Tax on 6 April 2020, an accounting period for Corporation Tax purposes will commence on 6 April 2020. The instalment payment regulations will not have effect in relation to that first accounting period in which the company becomes chargeable to Corporation Tax . This means that no instalment payments will be needed, regardless of whether the company is 'large' or 'very large' for instalment payment purposes.

Example

A non-resident company receiving UK property income and with an accounting period ended 30 September 2020 will have a first accounting period of 6 April 2020 to 30 September 2020. This period is ignored for instalment payment purposes.

In the next accounting period to 30 September 2021, it has profits of £1,600,000. It does not have to make instalment payments for this period even though it is 'large' for instalment payment purposes as Reg 3 (5) provides an exemption for the first period in which the company is 'large.'

The instalment payment regime will apply as normal to the next and all subsequent accounting periods.
