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 Ross Nursing Services 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 Ross Nursing Services 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
- 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.

CTM40550 - Particular bodies: registered societies: conversion to a Companies Act company and vice versa
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-17)


Where a registered society converts to a Companies Act company under CCBS14/S112, or a Companies Act company converts to a registered society under CCBS/S115, this does not cause one entity to cease and another to come into being. They are treated as the same legal entity before and after the conversion. No change of UTR should be necessary.

From the date of conversion of a registered society to a Companies Act company, however, the former will no longer be treated as subject to the various special provisions applying to registered societies.

Absent any other changes, such conversions do not generally give rise to any deemed or actual disposal of chargeable assets or distributions and there is no cessation and recommencement of the business. However, the provisions of TCGA92/S126 to S130 (reorganisation of share capital) should be borne in mind (CG51700 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg51700c) onwards).

Where a registered society is a principal member of a group, a conversion will not stop it being the principal member of that group. Furthermore, where the registered society had acquired an asset in an intra-group transaction, the conversion will not lead to an occasion of charge for chargeable gains purposes.
UK-wide licensing for human medicines: supplementary guidance
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-31)

Supplementary information on the licensing of medicines for human use in the UK following the agreement of the Windsor Framework.

The Windsor Framework introduces a UK-wide licensing regime, meaning that the same medicinal products, in the same packs with the same packaging will be available across the whole UK. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) will license all medicines across the UK, including novel medicines, which under the original Northern Ireland Protocol had to be authorised for Northern Ireland by the European Commission.

This information is to help understand the main changes affecting the licensing of medicines for human use in the UK, introduced by the Windsor Framework’s medicines arrangements which came into effect on 1 January 2025.

CPI inflation was 3.5% in April 2025, prompting an open letter from the Governor of the Bank of England to the Chancellor on 19 June 2025. The Chancellor replied to the Governor on 19 June 2025.

The remit for the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) requires an exchange of open letters between the Governor of the Bank of England and the Chancellor of the Exchequer if inflation moves away from the target by more than 1 percentage point in either direction.

RDRM32450 - Remittance basis: accessing the remittance basis: remittance basis charge - nomination of foreign income and gains: charitable donations and Gift Aid
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


From 6 April 2025 it is not possible to use the remittance basis of taxation, however, any foreign income or gains that have arisen to a former remittance basis user prior to this date will continue to be taxed at the usual tax rates if they are remitted to the UK on or after 6 April 2025, subject to any amounts designated under the temporary repatriation facility (TRF) – see RDRM71000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm71000).

The guidance in this section only applies to tax years up to and including the 2024-25 tax year and remains for reference purposes only.

Chapter 2 of Part 8 ITA 2007 provides relief from tax for some gifts of money to charities that are made by individuals. This is known as ‘Gift Aid’. One part of the Gift Aid rules is that the donor must pay at least as much UK income tax and/or capital gains tax in the tax year as the amount that is repayable to the charity.
- ITA07/s414(2)(a) treats a qualifying donation as if it had been made after deduction of basic rate income tax.
- If the donor has not paid enough UK income tax and capital gains tax to ‘frank’ the gift aid donations in a tax year, a further amount of income tax is charged to make up the shortfall (ITA07/s424).
The Remittance Basis Charge

In exactly the same way as any other amount of income tax or capital gains tax, amounts of tax that are paid to satisfy the remittance basis charge can be used to frank Gift Aid donations. That is because the remittance basis charge is ‘income tax charged’ or ‘capital gains tax charged’ on nominated income and/or gains.

However, where the individual has:
- chosen to use the remittance basis, and
- claimed Gift Aid tax relief
any income tax that is charged under ITA07/s424 is not taken into account when calculating the ‘relevant tax increase’ (see RDRM32330 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm32330)) that is required to produce the remittance basis charge (ITA07/s809C(5A) and s809H(5A)).

Effect

No matter how it is calculated, the remittance basis charge will always be the full amount applicable for that year (see RDRM32300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-domicile-and-remittance-basis/rdrm32300)).

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 Currie European Transport 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 Currie European Transport 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- 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.
