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 The Source Young People?s Charity 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 The Source Young People?s Charity 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
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Cadets
- Armed 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.

IEIM8000040 - Background to the Cryptoasset Reporting Framework
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-05)


Cryptoassets are a rapidly expanding and developing area where tax authorities have historically had limited means to gather data. This had the potential to undermine the successes of tax transparency frameworks such as the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) as the use for cryptoassets evolve. In response, the G20 gave the OECD a mandate to develop the Cryptoasset Reporting Framework (CARF), a dedicated global tax transparency framework, which provides for the automatic exchange of tax information on transactions in cryptoassets in a standardised manner.

The CARF technical rules were first published in 2022 following a public consultation. The CARF aims to help ensure a level playing field internationally, maintain the progress already made in helping taxpayers meet their tax obligations, and tackle tax avoidance and tax evasion.

The UK has also introduced an extension to domestic reporting for CARF. This means that UK RCASPs will also need to collect data on reportable users and reportable persons that are resident in the UK and report this information to HMRC.

Note: This manual is under review and is likely to be withdrawn.

Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/services-information).

ATA carnets and CPD carnets are international customs documents that can be used between countries that are contracting parties to the ATA carnet or Istanbul Conventions. They simplify procedures for claiming relief under temporary admission and the customs clearance of goods as the carnet:
- can be used in place of national temporary exportation documents in the country of departure
- replaces national import and re-export customs documents in the country of temporary admission
- provides security through an international guarantee chain for customs charges potentially due in the countries visited.
They can also be used to cover transit to and from a country of temporary admission.

For carnet holders this enables them to export and import goods with a minimum of formalities without providing security at each place of temporary importation.

The UK/CPD/China-Taiwan carnet is a specific agreement between the UK, Taiwan and The International Chamber of Commerce that operates in the same way as an ATA carnet, see ATACPD11000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/ata-cpd-carnets/atacpd11000). Where information is given on an ATA carnet it would normally apply to a CPD China -Taiwan Carnet. This should not be confused with the CPD carnet for motor vehicles (means of transport).

Statement on state threats from Iranian intelligence services: 31 July 2025

Joint statement of Albania, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US on state threats from Iranian intelligence services

Albania, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US condemn the growing number of state threats from Iranian intelligence services in our respective territories.

We are united in our opposition to the attempts of Iranian intelligence services to kill, kidnap, and harass people in Europe and North America in clear violation of our sovereignty. These Services are increasingly collaborating with international criminal organisations to target journalists, dissidents, Jewish citizens, and current and former officials in Europe and North America. This is unacceptable.

We consider these types of attacks, regardless of the target, as violations of our sovereignty. We are committed to working together to prevent these actions from happening and we call on the Iranian authorities to immediately put an end to such illegal activities in our respective territories.

FCERM research outcomes and impact
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)

Research investment is making an impact in managing flooding and coastal change.

On 4 April 2025, the Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) research and development programme published a collection of case studies. (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/fcerm-research-outcomes-and-impact) They highlight how research has been used to improve flood and coastal erosion risk management by connecting people who have operational problems with researchers who have solutions.

The case studies cover diverse topics – from modelling with advanced technologies like digital twins, to using natural flood management measures, to applying people’s local flood knowledge and improving how we work with communities.

The FCERM research and development programme (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/flood-and-coastal-erosion-risk-management-research-and-development-programme/about) is a collaborative partnership between the Environment Agency, Defra, Welsh Government and Natural Resources Wales. We work with partners from academia, industry and across government.

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 Two Saints 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 Two Saints 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
We also pledge the following:

Offering employment support to members of the Armed Forces Community with transferable skills to develop their career within the supported housing sector

Ensuring that veterans in our workforce are supported in ways that are appropriate to their needs

Supporting homeless veterans to seek stable accommodation

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.

Regulation 4 of the Reporting Cryptoasset Service Providers (Due Diligence and Reporting Regulations 2025) (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2025/744/contents/made) requires UK RCASPs to undertake due diligence procedures to identify all cryptoasset users and reportable persons. Reportable persons may be both individual and entity reportable users and controlling persons of certain entity cryptoasset users.

The due diligence procedures include collecting self-certificates from cryptoasset users, validating the content of the self-certificates and maintaining a clear audit trail of the due diligence process.

A CARF self-certificate is collected by RCASPs from all individual and entity cryptoasset users and from controlling persons of certain entity cryptoasset users of a UK RCASP. The self-certificate is an integral part of the CARF rules as it allows RCASPs to identify the cryptoasset users that are reportable persons that need to be reported to HMRC. Once identified, the RCASP will report information on the reportable persons’ activity to HMRC.

IHTM13027 - Change of Domicile: Membership of Armed Forces
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


From 6 April 2025, for inheritance tax purposes, domicile is replaced by long-term UK residence and you can find details of these rules at IHTM (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000)47000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000).

A person who spends a period of duty in the UK solely because they are a member of a visiting force is not treated as resident in the UK for Inheritance Tax purposes. Neither does such a tour of duty affect domicile (to 5 April 2025) nor long term UK residence (from 6 April 2025) as long as the person is not a British citizen (IHTA84/S155 (2)). This includes civilians attached to any such force.

However, you should bear in mind that someone on a tour of duty could change their domicile prior to 6 April 2025, if they decide to remain permanently or indefinitely in the UK. All the relevant facts should be considered.

For further information on IHTA84/S155 see IHTM04321 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm04321).
