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 Birtley Medical Group 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 Birtley Medical Group 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 Reservists
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.

VRM15000 - Appeals against refusal of a claim
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-27)


Right of appeal

A refusal to pay a claim under section 80 of the VAT Act 1994 is subject to a right of appeal provided by section 83(t) of the Act.

A refusal to pay a late claim for input tax under regulation 29 of the VAT Regulations 1995 is subject to a right of appeal provided by section 83(1)(c) of the VAT Act 1994.

Section 83(1)(t) of the VAT Act 1994 gives a right of appeal against any decision we make in relation to a claim brought under section 80 of the VAT Act 1994 including, for example, decisions to reject claims, for whatever reason and to make recovery assessments under section 83(4A). An appeal under this subsection will also, almost certainly, fall within section 83(1)(b).

Section 83(1)(c) of the VAT Act 1994 gives a right of appeal against the same decisions in relation to a late claim for input tax under Regulation 29 of the VAT Regulations 1995.

For further guidance on appeals see the Appeals Reviews and Tribunals Guidance (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/appeals-reviews-and-tribunals-guidance/artg).

It is important to remember that if the appeal is against a liability ruling (under section 83(1)(b)) where no claim has been made, a tribunal finding in the appellant’s favour doesn’t entitle him to any payment. The appeal was concerned simply with the question of whether the supplies in question ought to have borne VAT. Any claim made in the wake of such a decision will, of course, be limited to four years.

Appeals by customers

The customer of a person who has made a claim under section 80 for amounts said to have been wrongly accounted for as VAT on supplies made to that customer is entitled to bring a claim under section 83(1)(b).

For example, Jack makes a claim under section 80 for VAT that he considers was wrongly accounted for on supplies of pails to Jill and that claim is refused. Both Jack and Jill have a right of appeal against that decision.

However, if Jill appeals, and Jack doesn’t, and her appeal is successful, that does not entitle either of them to payment of Jack’s claim.

A customer is also entitled to appeal against a liability ruling against his supplier – See Williams & Glynns Bank Ltd [1974] VATTR 262.

Appeals by VAT groups

Any appeal by a VAT group must be made by the company acting as the representative member at the time when the appeal is made.

Appeals – Holding claims on file – Protective claims

We do not accept protective claims. We do not hold claims on file pending the determination of litigation.

If a claim is made at a time when there is a binding judgment (Upper Tribunal or High Court or above) against us, we should pay it and make a protective recovery assessment, see VRM10000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-refunds-manual/vrm10000), and the claimant can then appeal against that assessment.

If a person makes a claim where we don’t believe that any claim arises, the claim should be rejected and the claimant invited to appeal.

CMA response to Northern Ireland Department for the Economy support for low carbon heating in the residential sector consultation
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-09)

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has responded to the Department for the Economy’s consultation on support for low carbon heating in the residential sector.

The CMA has responded to the questions regarding consumer protection in the Department for the Economy’s consultation on support for ow carbon heating in the residential sector. The CMA’s response is informed by its review of consumer protection (https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/consumer-protection-in-green-heating-and-insulation-sector) in the UK green heating and insulation sector.

The response sets out the CMA’s support for governments across the UK taking opportunities to enhance consumer protection through requirements associated with government funding. It also sets out the CMA’s view that where such protections are delivered through third-party certification schemes, there should be a role for government in setting minimum requirements/expectations for the third-party schemes and monitoring their performance against this. The response additionally shares views on what such requirements might cover.

Authorisation by Declaration was previously known as 'Simplified' authorisation

This type of authorisation is intended for traders who have an occasional need to use a Special Procedure. The request for authorisation is made at the time the customs declaration to enter the goods to the Special Procedure is made.

The correct Authorisation by Declaration (ABD) CPC must be used and traders should follow the CPC notes in the Tariff completing the required data fields and also including any specific additional Information statements that are required for each special procedure.

Conditions of using Authorisation by Declaration:
- all ABD applications (except for some aspects of OP) are subject to the taking of a guarantee at the time the customs declaration is submitted to CHIEF
- ABD is not allowed to be used for customs warehousing
- ABD may be used only up to ten times a year for all other procedures (apart from TA)
- ABD may not generally be used with other simplifications including CFSP, SDP, EIDR or other discharge simplifications such as IA A324c (aircraft) discharges
- The appropriate additional information statement codes (AI codes), explained in the Tariff notes for each CPC, must be entered in the appropriate data fields
- Post clearance checks and supervision will be carried out by the appropriate supervising office (which is NIRU for IP, OP and End Use or NTAS for TA)
- Bills of Discharge (BoD) for IP and End Use must be submitted within the time limits set in law, the information in the BoD informs the process for the discharge of the guarantee
Note: Northern Ireland (NI) customs authorisations will continue to fall within the provisions of the Union Customs Code (UCC), as retained by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and CEMA 1979.

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.

VAEC6010 - General assessment procedures: Pre-assessment letter
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-19)


For information about retired VAT systems, go to VAEC0150 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-assessments-and-error-correction/vaec0150). For information about Making Tax Digital for VAT and ETMP processes, go to VAEC0200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-assessments-and-error-correction/vaec0200).

In 1996, following a recommendation from Revenue Law Review Committee, supported by HMRC Legal Group, the practise of issuing a letter prior to assessment was introduced as an important element in the assessment process.

The letter has become known as the pre- assessment letter but has also been referred to as the letter of request or letter of intent to assess. The letter does not need to be issued if there is already agreement to the proposed assessment, or the assessment will relate to - for example - a simple single posting error or an imminent assessment time limit is approaching.

The letter always precedes the making of an assessment. The issue of a pre-assessment letter is now one of the key principles outlined in the procedure for making and notifying assessments.

The aim of the letter is to provide clarity for businesses and to reduce the number of unnecessary tribunal appeals, particularly in contentious, or complex, cases where assessments were being questioned on the grounds of best judgement, see VAEC1400 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-assessments-and-error-correction/vaec1400), so saving litigation costs for both the business and HMRC.

The letter has a number of advantages in that it
- gives businesses time to consider and understand the details of an assessment before it is made
- allows businesses to provide further evidence or information which may lead you to amend the basis of the intended assessment
- demonstrates the exercise of reasonableness when considering an assessment so helping complex assessments pass the best judgement test
- helps the business to get its VAT declarations right in the future and
- ensures that we comply with our responsibility under the Freedom of Information Act to explain the reasons for your decisions
Currently, unnecessary time can be wasted by local offices, HMRC Legal Group and the tribunal in establishing the exact grounds for an appeal.

Knowledge of the grounds of appeal is a vital prerequisite to both understanding the nature of any dispute and preparing an effective counter argument. If an appeal is lodged the letter will help form the basis of HMRC's case when instructing solicitors.

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.

Mutual Recognition
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)

Information on Mutual Recognition with Other Customs Authorities (MRA).

5.1 Overview

As part of the United Kingdom’s efforts to enhance global supply chain security and facilitate the movement of legitimate goods, HM Revenue & Customs seek to negotiate Authorised Economic Operator Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs) with our trading partners.

If you hold Authorised Economic Operator Security and Safety (AEOS) status, you can benefit from the MRAs the UK has in place with partner Customs Authorities. An Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) MRAs allows businesses that hold AEOS status to be recognised as ‘trusted business partners’, allowing them to access the benefits of this status when trading with those countries, such as:
- fewer security and safety related controls
- priority treatment at customs clearance
- business continuity mechanism
5.2 Where the status is recognised

The countries the UK has Mutual Recognition Agreements with are listed on GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/authorised-economic-operator-certification)

The UK is working towards having arrangements in place with other partners, and once concluded will update GOV.UK pages.

Businesses that have UK AEOS status and have provided their consent to share information with MRA partners to HM Revenue & Customs, will automatically be recognised as a UK AEOS at the border of these countries.

5.3 Trading with the USA

Businesses that currently trade with the USA or are planning to trade with the USA in future, need to provide HM Revenue & Customs with their Manufacturer Identification Number(s) (MIDs) and corresponding UK business addresses to be recognised at the USA border.

MIDs are the codes that you provide on your US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Form 7501 (Entry Summary).

If your MID number(s) change or become invalid, you will need to inform HM Revenue & Customs so your records can be updated, and you can continue to receive benefits under the UK-US AEO MRAs.
