Report shows £500m in counterfeit goods intercepted at UK border
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-18)

Comprehensive enforcement report shows criminal activity disrupted and consumers protected

UK Border Force has prevented over half a billion pounds worth of counterfeit articles from reaching consumers between 2021 and 2023, disrupting organised criminal networks and protecting public safety.

The newly published UK Border Seizure Activity Report (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-uk-customs-intellectual-property-enforcement-report-2021-2023) reveals significant trends in intellectual property (IP) crime. It is the first comprehensive report on the enforcement of IP rights under the UK’s customs framework, establishing a new benchmark for reporting this data.

The report covers three years of border enforcement activity, showing that UK Border Force seized counterfeit articles with a retail value exceeding £500 million. The data reveals clear trends in IP crime, including a spike in counterfeit medical products during the pandemic, and consistently high demand for fashion items such as clothing and accessories throughout the 3 year period. as the most seized types of articles.

Trade mark infringement remained the most common IP violation, accounting for 74% of cases in 2023. The majority of counterfeit articles consistently originated from China, Hong Kong SAR, and Turkey.

The data shows enforcement agencies are increasingly targeting higher-value counterfeit products including fake automotive parts, and electrical articles, which pose greater safety risks to consumers.

This baseline report establishes a framework for annual reporting on UK border enforcement activity, providing valuable insights for businesses, rights holders, and enforcement agencies working to combat IP crime.

The report will be of particular interest to brand owners, legal professionals, trading standards officers, and businesses seeking to protect their intellectual property rights.

The government will provide ongoing updates on border enforcement activity as part of broader transparency commitments, including annual publication of this data. This work helps maintain the UK’s position as a global leader in innovation through upholding our world-class framework for IP protection and enforcement.

Working in partnership with industry and law enforcement agencies, we are disrupting criminals while directly supporting the government’s mission to drive economic growth.

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 Hitherbest 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 Hitherbest 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 Reservists
- UK Cadets
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.

INTM603685 - Transfer of assets abroad: 6 April 2025 non-UK domicile reforms: Removal of the remittance basis of taxation ITA07/S735
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


From 6 April 2025, the application of the remittance basis of taxation for individuals who are non-UK domiciled was removed and from this date any individual who is UK resident and receives a benefit that is taxable under ITA07/S731 of the ToAA provisions will be taxable on the arising basis unless the individual comes with the 4-year FIG regime and make a claim for the relevant tax year (see RFIG41000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig41000) onwards for guidance on this new regime).

For individuals who claimed the remittance basis for tax years prior to 2025 - 2026, the remittance basis will continue to apply to any benefits received which were matched with relevant foreign income that arose in those years and these benefits will only be taxable if remitted to the UK. Guidance on how the remittance basis affected the taxation of non-UK domiciled individuals subject to a benefits charge under ITA07/S731 can be found at INTM (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm602100)602100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm602100) onwards.

Individuals who have used the remittance basis can take advantage of the Temporary Repatriation Facility (TRF) during the years 2025 - 2026 to 2027 - 2028 to designate unremitted benefits and pay a reduced level of tax them. For details of the TRF see RDRM71000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm71000) onwards.

ITA07/S735 has also been extended as part of the 6 April 2025 reforms to include “qualifying new residents”. If an individual is a qualifying new resident, they are entitled to claim in their first 4 years of residence a relief from tax on their foreign income. The amendment to ITA07/S735 means that any income assessable under ITA07/S731 that would be treated as relevant foreign income if it were the individual’s will be relieved from tax if the individual is a qualifying new resident and makes a claim for relief. The income that comes within such a claim can be found in the table at ITTOIA05/S845F which defines what is “qualifying foreign income”. Further details of the 4-year FIG regime and how an individual can be a qualifying new resident can be found at RFIG44000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig44000).

Decommissioning offshore installations: guidance and associated policy proposals
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-15)

We're seeking views on decommissioning offshore installations: the methodology for considering derogations under OSPAR Decision 98/3, and associated policy changes.

Update 15 October

The Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning (OPRED) has extended the deadline for responses to this consultation at the request of stakeholders. The deadline for responses is now 14 November 2025.

We also republished the consultation document: Question 8 has been very slightly amended (as noted in the document itself) to aid clarity.

We invite views on draft supplementary guidance for the decommissioning of offshore oil and gas installations, and associated policy proposals:
- the draft supplementary guidance (guidance on the methodology for considering derogations under OSPAR Decision 98/3) has been prepared by the Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning (OPRED) to provide detail on the proposed UK process for considering whether or not a case for derogation from OSPAR Decision 98/3 could be made
- the policy proposals concern the cutting and removal, where appropriate, of offshore oil and gas steel jackets at the seabed level rather than to -3m below the seabed
We have published an assessment of the financial impact to the offshore oil and gas industry as part of the consultation.

The consultation is open to all but will be of particular interest to the offshore oil and gas industry.

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.
