IHTM24307 - Environmental Management Agreements: AR after the end of a qualifying agreement
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-08)


Most Environmental Management (EM) agreements will be for a fixed period, and these can vary in length from a few years to several decades.

Provided the land and property had been subject to a qualifying EM agreement the ending of the scheme does not necessarily mean that the land and property will no longer qualify for Agricultural Relief (AR).

If the land is returned to agricultural use, it will still qualify provided that the combined periods of occupation and ownership for the purposes of a qualifying EM agreement and agriculture exceed the periods of 2 and/or 7 years respectively as provided for in IHTA84/S117 (IHTM24304 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm24304)).

Furthermore, IHTA84/S124C does not require the qualifying agreement to still be in place at the date of transfer or death. IHTA84/S124C(1)(b) and (2) both refer to the use and management of the land in accordance with the agreement, whether or not the agreement is still in place. The property will also be valued as if the property were subject to a perpetual covenant prohibiting its use otherwise in accordance with the agreement, again whether or not the agreement is still in place (IHTM24305 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm24305)).

You are unlikely to see this scenario in the first years after the implementation of IHTA84/S124C from 6 April 2025 but if you do, you should ask for a copy of the agreement together with details of how and in what way the land continues to be managed in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

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.

Breast screening: quality assurance guidelines for breast pathology services
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-29)

Guidelines for generating consistent pathological data from breast screening services.

The quality of pathology services is central to the delivery of high-quality breast screening services because the definitive diagnosis of cancer and its subsequent classification are in most cases determined by pathologists.

In addition to their role in monitoring the breast screening programme and supporting patients and their treatment, pathology data contribute to surgical, radiological and pathological audit, future pathology review, cancer standards audit, and clinical research. The quality of this data depends on the expertise of pathologists and the techniques and reporting methods they employ.

To generate high-quality pathological data and achieve the standards required by the NHS breast screening programme (BSP), pathologists need to be able to draw on appropriate managerial and administrative support and to rely on robust quality assurance (QA) processes.

This document has been updated to reference current guidance and includes new information on:
- vacuum-assisted biopsies and excisions
- the minimum number of assays per year for estrogen receptor (ER) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)
- expected turnaround times for non-operative and surgical specimens
- the requirement for breast pathologists to report at least 30 non-operative specimens over a 3-year period
- roles and responsibilities of breast pathologists and lead pathologists
- updated QA processes

King scallop closure 2026 & 2027
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

King scallop closure consultation for 2026.

Fishers are being asked to respond to the Marine Management Organisation’s (MMO) consultation on proposals to close UK waters of ICES areas 7d & 7e to the king scallop dredge fishery in 2026 and 2027.

All UK waters in ICES area 7e are covered by the proposal instead of only the Lyme Bay area of 7e affected by previous closures.

The closure would apply to vessels 10m and over in 7d while vessels 12m and under would be excluded from the closure in 7e.

The option proposed for the king scallop dredge fishery closure is:
- 1 July to 30 September 2026 and 2027
The purpose of the consultation is to consider protection for stocks during the main spawning period for king scallops within areas 7d and 7e, with peak spawning typically in summer.

Scientific evidence indicates that protection for stocks against fishing activity during the summer months is likely to deliver the most benefit.

The consultation (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/ices-area-7d-and-7e-king-scallop-dredge-fishery-closure-2026-2027) runs until midnight 30 November 2025.

BLM00605 - Introduction: Commercial substance and structure: Finance leases: commercial substance
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-31)


This manual is being updated to reflect FRS 102 (2024 amendments). For guidance on the tax treatment of accounts prepared under IFRS 16 or the revised FRS 102, please refer to pages within the BLM50000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm50000) chapter.

This section is applicable to entities applying FRS 102 pre 2024 amendments or FRS 105, and for lessors only under IFRS 16 and FRS 102 (2024 amendments).

See BLM17000 for lessee accounting under the on-balance sheet model under IFRS 16 and FRS 102 (2024 amendments)

To understand the reality of finance leasing you may find it helpful to think of the rentals under a finance lease in terms of their economic and commercial substance – that is a combination of:

‘interest’ on a ‘loan’, and

repayment of the ‘loan’.

But as a matter of general law the rentals are simply the hire charge for an asset. A simple example illustrates how a finance lease resembles a loan.

A trader who wants an asset costing £10,000 could borrow £10,000 at (say) 10% from a bank and use the money to buy the asset. The trader will pay the bank the interest and also repay the capital. The capital could either be repaid in one lump sum at the end of the loan period or it could be structured like a repayment mortgage, with small capital payments and large interest payments at first and, towards the end, large capital payments and small interest payments.

The same commercial result can be achieved with a finance lease. The finance lessor (often a subsidiary of a bank) buys the asset for £10,000 and leases it to the lessee. The lessee is the one who uses the asset. The lessor charges the lessee rentals which, over the term of the lease, will repay the capital with a commercial rate of ‘interest’.

Typically a finance lease is structured like a repayment mortgage. That is, in substance, the rentals in the early years are mostly ‘interest’ while towards the end they are mostly loan’ repayment.

See BLM00630 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm00630) for a brief description of alternative profiles.

The ‘interest’ charges included in a finance lease agreement may fluctuate with base rate or other changes (such as tax rate or other tax regime changes) and often provisions in the lease spell out the consequences. The lease is usually designed to leave the finance lessor making a desired return on the finance element whatever happens. Meanwhile, the lessee picks up any resulting increased costs or benefits from any reduced cost.

Long-funding leases

Long funding-leases are taxed differently to other types of lease. See BLM20000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm20000) onwards for guidance on deciding whether a lease is a long funding lease and BLM40000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-leasing-manual/blm40000) onwards for guidance on taxing long funding leases.

The Carbon Budget and Growth Delivery Plan sets out how the government meets its statutory carbon budgets and secure the benefits of this transition for people and businesses.

The government is setting out how the UK will benefit from lower bills, skilled jobs, warmer homes and cleaner air, as it sets out its plan to deliver on a clean energy future.

The Carbon Budget and Growth Delivery Plan sets out how the UK will continue to reduce emissions in a way that lowers bills and secures good jobs, in line with the 2008 Climate Change Act. Since the UK introduced it, there has been success around the world with 60 other countries now adopting their own climate legislation.

As part of the delivery plan package we have also published:
- the government’s plan for how we are unlocking the benefits of the clean energy economy
- the government’s response to the Climate Change Committee’s (CCC) 2025 Progress Report in Reducing Emissions (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/committee-on-climate-change-2025-progress-report-government-response)
- an Investor Prospectus (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-net-zero-transition-investment-opportunities), outlining where and how investors can support the UK’s net zero transition by highlighting policy-backed, high-impact investment opportunities

What works to support disadvantaged groups towards employment?
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-11)

This report presents findings from a systematic review on what works to support disadvantaged groups move towards and into employment.

Research background

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) commissioned this systematic review to understand what works to support the following groups towards employment: care leavers, ex-offenders, people experiencing homelessness, and people with substance misuse issues. These groups have lower employment rates and often experience additional barriers and disadvantage in accessing the labour market. The Get Britain Working white paper sets out an ambition of an 80% employment rate; to achieve this will involve supporting people with more complex needs into work.

Contribution to the evidence base

People from disadvantaged groups with complex needs are less likely to be in employment, but the evidence on how best to support them into employment is less clear and often focuses on a single population group. This review brings the evidence together, providing an overview of effective interventions, to better understand what works.

Research value

Findings from this review will be used by DWP and across government to inform policy development for these groups.

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 Drax Power 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 Drax Power 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:

We also pledge the following:

Tailored Pathway for Service Leavers
