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 KwikTip Limited 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 KwikTip Limited 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
- 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.

EIM64650 - Tax treatment of insurance agents: claims for capital allowances on computers
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-23)


The application of the 'necessarily provided' test (see EIM36540 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim36540)) can present difficulties in relation to insurance agents paid by commission. What the duties require in such cases is not easily identifiable because agents may simply have to sell as many of their employer's products as they can, and themselves provide the equipment for doing so.

Capital allowances may be given for the cost incurred by an agent in purchasing a computer or word processor and their peripherals provided that the claimant:
- is paid by, or largely by, results and
- although the objective of selling insurance is clear, the extent of the agent's sales effort (that is, the method by which the agent is to achieve sales) is not clearly defined or stereotyped and
- the agent is required to bear the cost of any equipment-performing functions or activities designed to achieve that objective (the employer neither providing nor paying for such equipment).
Allowances are due to the extent that the equipment is actually used as described above. If it is also used for other purposes, such as keeping personal financial records, an apportionment of the allowances will be necessary (see EIM36570 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim36570)).

Research exploring parents’ media literacy needs, evaluating current resources, and identifying ways to help keep children safe online.

Parents play a pivotal role in shaping their children’s online experiences, and any gaps in parental media literacy can affect both their own and their children’s digital resilience.

Media literacy is being able to critically evaluate online information, understand that online actions have real-world consequences, contribute to a respectful online environment and help children navigate digital content safely.

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) commissioned Ipsos to conduct qualitative research aimed at:
- understanding parental media literacy needs and challenges
- assessing the effectiveness of existing resources
- identifying gaps in provision
Findings show that the primary gap in parental media literacy is the current lack of awareness and knowledge of existing resources.

The research highlights the importance of improving the visibility and delivery of media literacy resources through trusted channels to enhance online resilience among parents and children.
Changes to lifetime allowance charges following the public service pensions remedy
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-06)

If you have a private pension, following the public service pensions remedy (known as McCloud), you may have to tell your pension provider of changes, or have new charges to pay.

If you’re a member of a public service pension scheme and have had a benefit crystallisation event within the scheme, you may have a change to the amount of lifetime allowance (https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-your-private-pension/lifetime-allowance) used up by that event, as a result of the public service pensions remedy.

Your public service pension scheme will work out any changes and send you an updated benefit crystallisation event statement if you’re affected. You must share this statement with any other pension scheme providers you have under which you have had a benefit crystallisation event, as the scheme may also be affected.

You can:
- use the calculate your public service pension adjustment (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/calculate-your-public-service-pension-adjustment) to correct your tax position or calculate any changes in your annual allowance
- read the full guidance on the remedy (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/how-the-public-service-pension-remedy-affects-your-pension)
Who is liable for the lifetime allowance charge

Before 6 April 2023, if you exceeded your pension lifetime allowance and had a lifetime allowance charge, you and the scheme administrator are both liable to pay this charge.

Your pension scheme administrator can apply to HMRC for a ‘discharge’ of their liability under certain circumstances, meaning you will be solely liable for the charge — you cannot apply to be discharged of your liability.

If there’s an increase in the amount of the benefit crystallisation event, this may result in a new or increased lifetime allowance charge for a private sector pension. If it’s a result of the public service pensions remedy your private sector scheme administrator will be able to apply for a discharge to this liability.

If your private pension discharges their liability

If your private sector pension scheme administrator is discharged from their liability to the new or increased charge, we will issue an assessment to you for the new lifetime allowance charge.

You can either:
- pay the charge (we’ll let you know how you can do this when we contact you)
- give HMRC details of your public service pension scheme administrator — this will make them jointly liable for the charge
If you ask your public service pension scheme to pay the charge, we will collect the additional tax due from that scheme administrator. Once the public service pension scheme administrator pays the charge, they will adjust your pension benefits accordingly.

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 Impact Coatings 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Impact Coatings 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

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- 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.

COM53300 - Claims/reliefs: other reliefs: when to complete a form CT250(P)
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


General information

Where you give Section 458 (S458) (S419(4)) relief to a company it may be necessary for any late payment interest that is due by the company to be recalculated by the CT Unit in Government Banking and Payments. You must therefore, for each case, follow the steps below to decide if you need to complete form CT250P. The form should be sent via eForm to GBP Payment Operations – CTU CT250s.

Step 1: Has any of the tax (inc. S458) been paid?

No - send form CT250P to the CT Unit in Government Banking and Payments. If the CT250P is not provided, DMB may be unable to identify the case quickly on their Clerical Interest Indicator Worklist (CIIW) and this could lead to a delay.

Yes - go to step 2.

Step 2: Was all the tax paid (inc. S458) on or before the due date?

Yes - you do not need to complete form CT250P as late payment interest will not have accrued. You should make any repayment or reallocation due to the company from COTAX.

No - go to step 3.

Step 3: Has the tax (inc. S458) been paid in full prior to the loan (part of the loan) being repaid?

Yes - you do not need to complete form CT250P as late payment interest will have been calculated by COTAX. You should make any repayment or reallocation due to the company from COTAX.

No - send form CT250P to the CT Unit in Government Banking and Payments. If the CT250P is not provided, DMB may be unable to identify the case quickly on their CIIW worklist and this could lead to a delay.
