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 Pennine Energy Resources 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

CH21700 - Information & Inspection Powers: Conditions and safeguards: What we can require or inspect: Statutory records
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)


Information or a document forms part of a person’s statutory records if it is information or a document which the person is required to keep and preserve by the Taxes Acts or by any other legislation relating to the taxes in CH21540 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch21540). Information and documents cease to be a person’s statutory records when the period for which they must be preserved has expired. You will find more information in the Record keeping guidance starting at CH10000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch10000).

Business records

Business and VAT records that have to be kept for tax purposes become statutory records when they are created. This means that current records can be inspected where inspection is justified.

Non-business records

Any other records which must be kept for tax purposes only become statutory records after the end of the chargeable period to which they relate. This means that you do not have the right to inspect these records during the chargeable period(s) because they will never fall within the definition of business documents, see CH25280 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch25280). You may be able to require production of these records using a written notice, see CH23220 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch23220).

Disputes

You should try to resolve any dispute about whether or not a document is a statutory record by agreement. If that is not possible it must be resolved by the tribunal on appeal against either
- the notice itself if there are appeal rights against the particular notice, or
- a penalty assessment issued because the person did not comply with the notice where there are no appeal rights.
If there are no appeal rights against the notice (or requirement in it) a challenge about whether information or a document is within statutory records can also be made through an application for judicial review.

CH24300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch24300) onwards gives guidance about appeals against information notices.

Note that if your compliance check is into an excise duty, you will use powers under CEMA79. (This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)

INCHP02260 - General: agent's authority to use importer's Deferment Approval Number (DAN)

Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC

An agent must not use an importer's DAN without authorisation to do so. Notice 101 'Deferring duty, VAT and other charges' sets out the methods of authorising an agent are:

Standing authority

Standing authority is given on Form C1207N which is completed by the importer and processed by the Central Deferment Office (Approvals) in Southend. A C1207N is normally actioned within 3 working days of receipt. Agents given a standing authority may use the DAN at any port, airport, warehouse or free-zone in the UK. The authority is registered on CHIEF and the computer checks it when entries are processed.

Specific authority

A specific authority relates to a particular consignment and is given on a C1207S. The importer must complete the form and send it to the agent who presents it to Customs with the entry.

The importer may need to give urgent authorisation to an agent when:
- goods are diverted to another port
- the supplier appoints the agent
- goods arrive without warning for urgent delivery.
In these and similar circumstances, insisting on the proper form of authority would result in delay and inconvenience to the importer.

A faxed specific authority is to be accepted, the wording should be as follows:

To HMRCI am / we are………………………………………………………………………….(Business name)My / our telephone number is …………………………………………………………(Telephone number)I / we hereby authorise…………………………………………………………………(Name of agent)to use my / our deferment approval number…………………………………………..(DAN)when requesting deferment of the charges on the goods imported by me / us on the attached entry.

This fax should be on company headed paper and signed by a responsible officer of the company.

All forms of specific authority present opportunities for fraud you should be aware to this possibility when carrying out checks on documents under the standard selection procedures.

This page and chapter are under review as the relevant content is also published in the technical guidance chapters of the Compliance Handbook (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook), within Compliance checks factsheets (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hm-revenue-and-customs-compliance-checks-factsheets) and in Compliance checks guidance (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-compliance-checks-help-and-support). If you use particular pages regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know the specific content you find useful.

You will not assess daily penalties where records have been deliberately destroyed, because they can no longer be produced. Instead, you may need to consider whether a tax-related penalty is appropriate.

A tax-related penalty may also be appropriate where you consider that the maximum daily penalties that you can assess are insufficient in your particular case or the records have been destroyed - see CH26720 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch26720).

This penalty is only relevant to a notice under Schedule 36. For cases under Sch 23 see CH270450 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch270450).

However, tax-related penalties are reserved for the most serious cases and they can only be decided by the Upper Tribunal on an application by an authorised officer.

If you think that a tax-related penalty should be imposed, you must discuss the case with your manager and then seek advice by following the guidance at CH910000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch910000) before making the application to the Upper Tribunal.

Penalty assessment charges will be created by the National Penalty Processing System (NPPS) - see CH270500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch270500) - once approved by the Tribunal.

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.

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.
