COM110001 - Pursuit: automatic and clerical pursuit: introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)


Companies are expected to pay their liabilities electronically by the due date (see Glossary). To prompt companies to do this a sequence of payment reminders and a first payment application, usually issued as part of the Revenue Determination, are issued by COTAX. These show the action required by the company, the amount of any payment and the consequences of not paying on time.

Additionally, payment applications to the company include any credit interest within the payments already made figures. Any debit interest charged or late payment interest accruing to the date of issue of the payment application is shown as ‘interest due’.

An electronic method of payment includes the following:
- Bacs
- CHAPS
- internet banking
- payment over the telephone
- direct debit
- payment by debit or credit card
- payment at a bank or post office
Where automatic pursuit by COTAX fails to produce payment, COTAX refers recovery of the liability for clerical pursuit. The Debt Resolution Team deals with such Accounting Periods (APs).

APs are referred for clerical pursuit:
- automatically by COTAX
- clerically, if you have asked COTAX to stop the normal sequence and refer the AP or APs to you
Sometimes, all the APs for a particular company need to be the subject of permanent clerical pursuit either in the Debt Management or HMRC Payments Office.

At any time, the status of every AP is shown on the COTAX record, which indicates the nature of the pursuit action. Other information on the record indicates the exact stage of pursuit that has been reached.

When pursuing the company, carefully take into account the particular circumstances of the case and make a suitable approach.

The Debt Management Office considers enforcement action where payment is still not forthcoming. See COM112000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/cotax-manual/com112000) for more information.

Cases subject to clerical pursuit at the Debt Management Office are reviewed monthly.

Managing Surplus Government Property

Identifying surplus government property is an essential part of the drive for high-performing estate management. It is an enabler for achieving and maintaining property portfolios that are efficient, fit-for-purpose and sustainable, meeting present and future needs

This guide replaces the previous ‘Guide for the Disposal of Surplus Land (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guide-for-the-disposal-of-surplus-government-land)’. The change of title indicates greater emphasis on reviewing options and combining multiple factors when considering the disposal or re-use of surplus property assets. The aim remains to achieve optimal benefit from government assets in the public interest.

RFIG20110 - Statutory Residence Test (SRT): Automatic overseas tests: Introduction

There are 5 automatic overseas tests, 2 of which are applicable to deceased individuals, and these are covered in RFIG20900 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig20900) onwards,

If an individual meets any of the automatic overseas tests for the relevant tax year, they will be automatically non-UK resident for that year.

Therefore the automatic overseas tests should be considered first, as if any are met there is no need to consider any other parts of the test.

The only exception to this is if Step 1 of RFIG20040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig20040) is met - they have been in the UK for 183 days or more. If so they will be UK resident - there are no exceptions.

ERSM70450 - Securities acquired for less than market value: LTIPs or RSUs awarded abroad (up to 5 April 2015)
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


Residence

Deferred share awards made overseas may be described as Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) or be a feature of Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIPs) or other arrangements. Normally they are structured as a promise to give an employee shares at sometime in the future if certain conditions are satisfied. Such a promise may be made in respect of an employment whilst the employee is not resident and not ordinarily resident in the UK.

If the employee subsequently becomes resident in the UK, or undertakes duties in the UK which give rise to general earnings within Chapter 5 Part 2 ITEPA 2003, the shares may vest or be acquired whilst the employee is within the scope of UK tax. The LTIP or RSU may or may not be money’s worth on award - see ERSM70410 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-related-securities/ersm70410)) and this affects whether there is an Income Tax liability as discussed below.

LTIP constituting money’s worth on award

See ERSM70410 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-related-securities/ersm70410).

LTIP not constituting money’s worth on award

LTIP awards which:
- do not constitute money’s worth on award, and
- vest and/or are acquired whilst the employee is within the charge to general earnings in Chapters 4 or 5 Part 2 ITEPA 2003,
will be chargeable either as money’s worth under ITEPA03/S62 or alternatively, if not money’s worth, under Chapter 3C.

If in doubt about whether something is money’s worth (that is, realisable for cash) please refer to Employment Income Technical Adviser.

For guidance on the effect of residence on charges under Part 7 generally, including Chapter 3C, from 6 April 2015 onwards, see ERSM162000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-related-securities/ersm162000).

For guidance on the effect of the Finance Act 2025 changes, from 6 April 2025 onwards, see ERSM165000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-related-securities/ersm165000).

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 John Williamson (Plumbing & Heating) 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 John Williamson (Plumbing & Heating) 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
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- 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.
