A third party notice is a written notice to a person requiring them to provide information or produce documents reasonably required to check the tax position, or collect a tax debt, of another person. These notices can only be issued if you know the identity of that other person. If you don’t know the identity of the person, you should consider the guidance at CH226000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch226000) and CH226500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch226500).

Before you consider giving a third party notice you should discuss your course of action with your line manager.

You may need tribunal approval before you can give a third party notice. If tribunal approval is required you will need the agreement of an authorised officer, see CH225450 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch225450).

Growth and opportunity set to be at the heart of UK-hosted G20
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-22)

The UK will host the G20 in 2027, the Prime Minister has confirmed today.

- UK will host major G20 summit in 2027, UK confirms during South African summit
- Summit will reinforce the G20’s focus on a global economy that delivers stable growth, fair trade and investment – key to bringing prosperity to every corner of the UK
- Comes as G20 members bring more than 3,800 investment projects into the UK, creating almost 200,000 new jobs over the past three years
The UK will host the G20 in 2027, using the summit to drive global growth, seize the global agenda and reinforce global stability– essential for working people in the UK, the Prime Minister has confirmed today.

Bringing together 19 of the world’s largest economies and two major multilateral bodies – the European Union and the African union – the grouping makes up 85% of global GDP, 75% of international trade, and two-thirds of the world’s population.

G20 members are also some of the UK’s closest economic partners - 17 of the UK’s top 20 global export markets, and 18 of our top 20 sources of foreign direct investment into the UK.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said:

“Our work abroad is delivering for people at home in good jobs, greater opportunities, and national renewal. Hosting the G20 will allow us to shape the global agenda once again, driving forward economic stability in the UK and beyond.

“As we enter the next cycle of G20 Presidencies, we must double down on our core mission: driving growth – not just in numbers, but in opportunities for working people in each of our countries.

“We know that when we work with our partners, we can restore stability and drive prosperity on an unmatched scale, bringing benefit to all.”

In the past three years, G20 members brought more than 3,800 investment projects into the UK, creating almost 200,000 new jobs.

This has included Shinhan, the Republic of Korea’s second largest bank, investing £2bn over the next 5 years into energy, digital assets, infrastructure projects as well as businesses based in the UK’s thriving financial services sector and Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation facilitating up to £7.5 billion of investment into key UK infrastructure and clean energy projects by 2035.

It was also included Mexico’s Grupo Bimbo – the largest baking company in the world – expanding its footprint in Rotherham.

The G20 Leaders’ summit was first formed in the eye of the global financial crisis, bringing together heads of government, central bankers and finance ministers to steady the global economy.

The meetings that followed the creation of the leaders’ summit– including the London Summit of 2009 – were not merely symbolic, but decisive. Under Gordon Brown’s chairmanship at the time, countries pledged over $1 trillion to stabilise the world economy and prevented a global depression.

Decisions taken around that table in London saved jobs, homes and livelihoods, with financial markets stabilising within weeks of the Summit – ultimately bringing down unemployment, interest rates, and protecting personal savings.
MH17: International Civil Aviation Organisation Vote
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-12)

The UK Government has issued a statement following the outcome of the International Civil Aviation Organisation hearing on the case of Flight MH17.

On 12 May 2025, in a historic first, a clear majority of ICAO Council States decided that the Russian Federation breached Article 3bis of the Chicago Convention by using weapons against civil aircraft in flight which led to the downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 in July 2014.

Through this decision, the ICAO Council upholds respect for the Convention on International Civil Aviation and sets out important expectations in relation to the obligations on States to create safer skies and, moreover, that those who violate the rules set out under this Convention will be held to account.

Most importantly, this decision helps secures justice for the families of the 298 people lost as a result of the downing of flight MH17, including 10 UK citizens, on 17 July 2014. It is also a salient reminder of Russia’s reckless and dangerous behaviour and its callous disregard for civilian lives.

This is the first time the ICAO Council has taken a decision on the merits of an ICAO international legal dispute in its 80-year history, and the UK congratulates the clear leadership provided by ICAO to ensure the case was progressed robustly and transparently. The UK remains committed to supporting ICAO in its endeavours to uphold international law and to ensure our skies remain safe and secure.

Russia is weaponising winter against Ukraine: UK statement to the OSCE
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-16)

Russia’s systematic targeting of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure ahead of winter appears to follow a clear pattern aimed at undermining Ukraine's resilience.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Once again and for the fourth year in a row, Russia is weaponising Winter against Ukraine. Russia’s systematic targeting of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure ahead of winter appears to follow a clear pattern aimed at undermining civil resilience.

Each month Russia sets new, and unwanted, records. In October, Russia launched its largest coordinated strike of the war on Ukraine’s gas infrastructure, firing 35 missiles and 60 drones at Naftogaz gas facilities in Kharkiv and Poltava, causing critical damage and disrupting operations. Russian forces also damaged a major energy facility in Zaporizhzhia, cutting power to thousands, and targeted gas transportation infrastructure in Lviv, killing four civilians.

Madam Chair, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that “continued attacks on energy infrastructure will severely impact civilian access to essential services this winter.”

Other independent assessments, including the REACH Cold Spots Risk Assessment, confirm that repeated strikes on energy facilities create “critical vulnerabilities” for households, particularly in eastern and southern Ukraine, where repair capacity is limited.

The OSCE’s Code of Conduct reiterates the need for us all to ensure that our Armed Forces comply with international law. And yet, the OSCE Moscow Mechanisms, ODIHR and UN, continue to report on mounting independent evidence of Russia violating international law, including international humanitarian law.

Destroying energy infrastructure ahead of winter, affects the most vulnerable civilians in society, and risks individuals freezing to death in their own homes and being denied access to essential services. The facts are stark and simple. Under international law, deliberately targeting civilians is illegal. Under international law, Russia’s invasion is illegal. Under international law, Ukraine has a right to defend itself. And the UK will stand with Ukraine as it defends itself– today, tomorrow and for as long as it takes.

We once again call on Russia to cease these attacks immediately, end its illegal war and to return to full compliance with international law.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

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

Source: gov.uk (2025-04-06)


If a nominated officer gives a formal section 8 decision that an employer is liable to pay SMP/SAP/SPP/ShPP/SPBP/SNCP, the employer must:
- pay their employee within the given time limit as set down in law, or
- appeal to the First-tier Tribunal against the decision within 30 days of the date they are notified of the decision. If the employer does not appeal against the HMRC decision they must pay SMP/SAP/SPP/ShPP/SPBP/SNCP:
- no later than the next normal pay day, or
- if this is not practicable because of their accounting system, no later than the next pay day, or
- if there are ‘in house’ arrangements and the employer would not normally have paid an employee until after the pay day specified above, they must pay SMP/SAP/SPP/ShPP/SPBP/SNCP no later than the day they would have paid wages for the same period.
For action after a decision has been made, see the Decisions and Appeals for National Insurance and Statutory Payments (DANSP) manual.

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 WMR UK Holdings 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 WMR UK Holdings 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.

Framework documents: collection

A collections page for framework documents between sponsor departments and their arm’s length bodies.

Framework documents between sponsor departments and their arm’s length bodies (ALBs) are a requirement of Managing Public Money (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/managing-public-money-framework-documents).

A framework document sets out arrangements for departments to monitor and understand their ALB’s strategy, performance and delivery. They are a core constitutional document of the ALB and it is imperative that accounting officers, board members and senior officials are familiar with them, ensure they are kept up to date and use them as a guide to govern the collaborative relationship between the ALB, the sponsor or shareholder department and the rest of government. There is a joint obligation on officials and employees within the ALB and within the sponsor or shareholder department to be familiar with, update and comply with its terms as appropriate.

Guidance on and templates for framework documents can be found here (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/managing-public-money-framework-documents).
