SAIM2440 - Interest: taxation of interest: when interest arises
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)


When does interest arise?

ITTOIA05/S370 provides that tax is charged on the full amount of interest arising in the tax year. This means that a person receiving interest cannot set off any interest payable, bank charges or similar amounts against sums chargeable under ITTOIA05/S369.

Interest ‘arises’ when it is received or made available to the recipient. Interest has been made available if it is credited to an account on which the account holder is free to draw. For additional guidance on when interest arises see SAIM2400 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/savings-and-investment-manual/saim2400).

Example 1

Jonathan has a building society account, on which interest is credited every 31 December. He is free to make withdrawals from the account, at 30 days’ notice, but has not withdrawn money for many years. On 31 December 2017 he receives interest of £524, he should return the interest as income of year ended 5 April 2018, even though he has not withdrawn it.

Interest can in practice often be treated as arising when it becomes due and payable. However, if a taxpayer does not actually receive interest (or have it credited to an account) until a later date, it does not normally form part of his or her taxable income until it is received.

Example 2

Sam entered into a five year fixed-term bond on 6 April 2017. The bond credits interest to Sam’s account annually on the 31 December. Sam can only gain access to both the annual interest and the principal in advance of 5 April 2022 if a penalty is paid for early access.

Since the terms and conditions of the bond allow Sam to draw on the funds, although with a penalty, the interest arises and is taxable each year as it is credited.

If the terms and conditions of the bond did not allow access until maturity, the interest would arise and be taxed at that point.

Example 3

In January 2017, Jennifer makes a loan of £5,000 to her cousin to help him set up a business. They agree that interest will be payable quarterly in arrears at a rate of 5% per annum. But the business initially struggles, and Jennifer does not receive any interest until June 2018 when, after she threatens legal action, her cousin repays the debt along with interest arrears of £875. Jennifer is not required to pay any tax on the interest until 2018/19 when it arises. However, the whole £875 is taxable when she receives it. She cannot spread the arrears of interest over the years in which it accrued.

Interest on a judicial award should normally be regarded as arising on the date on which it is paid.

Decided cases which embody these general principles include Dewar v CIR (19TC561), Dunmore v McGowan (52TC307), Parkside Leasing Ltd v Smith (58TC282), and Peracha v Miley (63TC444).

Ponzi Schemes

Cases where there is the potential for a Ponzi (and Ponzi-type) schemes to be involved in the return of interest contact Financial Products team at BAI for advice.

Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

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 Gist 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 Gist 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 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.

Electric vehicles: costs, charging and infrastructure
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-10)

Owning and running an electric vehicle in the UK.

While electric vehicle (EV) technology, vehicles and infrastructure have developed rapidly in recent years, people still have questions about this new technology. This guidance provides information on EVs and EV charging infrastructure.

The transition to EVs is a crucial step towards achieving the UK’s net zero target. As announced by the Prime Minister on 20 September 2023, the sale of new petrol and diesel cars will be phased out by 2035. This proportionate approach will support manufacturers and families in making the switch to electric, providing flexibility while also helping grow the economy.

The Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate is the world’s most ambitious national-level decarbonisation framework of its kind and the largest carbon-saving measure across government.
BIM70037 - Cash basis: expenses: capital expenditure: Intangible Assets
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-02)


S33A(4)(e) ITTOIA 2005

In calculating the profits of a trade under the cash basis, a deduction is disallowed for a non-qualifying intangible asset.

Intangible assets include
- any internally-generated intangible asset, and
- intellectual property,
Intellectual Property means
- any patent, trade mark, registered design, copyright or design, plant breeders’ rights or rights under section 7 of the Plant Varieties Act 1997
- any right under the law of a country or territory outside the UK corresponding or similar to a right within 1. above
- any information or technique not protected by a right within 1. and 2. above but having industrial, commercial or other economic value
- any licence or other right in respect of anything within 1, 2 or 3 above
Non Qualifying Intangible Assets

Fixed Maximum duration

An intangible asset is non-qualifying unless it has a fixed maximum duration and will cease to exist within 20 years of the date the capital expenditure was incurred.

Where option or rights are granted over an intangible asset and
- intangible asset (asset A) is the right or option to acquire another intangible asset (asset B) and
- asset B does not have a fixed maximum duration (and is therefore a non- qualifying asset)
Asset A is a non-qualifying asset even if when it was exercised, it would cease to exist within 20 years of the grant or right of the option.

Licences

Where
- the trader has an intangible asset and
- the trader grants a licence or any other right in respect of that asset to another person and
- the trader re-acquires any part of the licence or rights in respect of that asset by way of a sub-licence
The intangible asset created by the sub-licence in 3. above is not a qualifying asset.

Judicial Summary

The Upper Tribunal usually only publishes decisions on substantive appeals. This application for the setting aside of the Upper Tribunal’s refusal of permission to appeal raises issues about the scope of the Upper Tribunal’s powers to set aside its decisions. Because these issues tend to arise only in cases in which the Upper Tribunal has refused permission to appeal, the decisions about them do not receive public scrutiny. This decision is therefore published in the interests of transparency.

The application for set aside was dismissed on the basis that the Upper Tribunal has no power to set aside a decision on permission to appeal that was made on the papers, whether under the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008 or exercising the powers of the High Court (whether statutory or inherent) invested in it under section 25 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.

The research was carried out between September and November 2023 to explore taxpayer’s views about the current set of offshore penalties and help inform HMRC’s consideration of whether the current penalties are still appropriate or would benefit from reform.

The research consisted of a quantitative telephone and online survey with 1,005 customers who had not received a penalty and 20 follow-up qualitative interviews. This was alongside 30 qualitative interviews with customers who had received a penalty.

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

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 IT Positive 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

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

-working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers

The flight underscores the government’s progress restoring order to the immigration system through the Plan for Change, ensuring rules are respected and those who break them are swiftly returned.

Those removed had no right to be in the UK and included 15 failed asylum seekers and 11 foreign national offenders who had served their sentences. 7 people returned voluntarily.

Since the election, two charter flights have taken off to the countries, carrying a total of 87 people and demonstrating the strength of cooperation between the UK, Nigeria and Ghana on this critical issue.

Under this government, over 24,000 people have been returned, an 11% increase on the same period 12 months prior, while four of the largest returns flights ever have taken off returning migrants to countries across Europe, Asia, Africa and South America.

Deportations of foreign national offenders are also up 16% since the election, with 3,594 criminals removed.

Immigration Enforcement ensure that returns are carried out in a dignified and respectful manner.

Minister for Border Security and Asylum Angela Eagle said:

This flight demonstrates how international partnerships deliver on working people’s priorities for swift returns and secure borders.

Through the Plan for Change we’re going further in restoring order to a broken system, accelerating returns of those with no right to be here and closing expensive asylum hotels.

I thank the governments of Ghana and Nigeria for facilitating this operation, which reflects our joint commitment to disrupt organised immigration crime and protect our borders.

Baroness Chapman of Darlington, FCDO Minister responsible for Irregular Migration said:

Working with other countries and partners around the world is critical to tackling irregular migration – by working internationally, we will meet this global challenge together.

I welcome our strong cooperation with Ghana and Nigeria to return those with no right to be in the UK, secure our borders, and deliver on the Plan for Change.

This operation follows the Organised Immigration Crime Summit, which saw the UK bring together over 40 countries, including Nigeria and Ghana, to drive forward the global fight against smuggling gangs and deliver on the government’s mission to secure our borders.

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 Brooker Care 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 Brooker Care 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
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

GLP-1 medicines for weight loss and diabetes: what you need to know

Guidance on the safe and effective use of GLP-1 medicines for weight loss and diabetes.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s or GLP-1RAs) are medicines that help people feel fuller by mimicking a natural hormone released after eating. Some newer medicines, like Mounjaro, also act on a second hormone involved in appetite and blood sugar control. You may see them referred to in the media as “weight loss injections” or “skinny jabs” but not all of these medicines are authorised for weight loss.
