This Checklist outlines the principal considerations when preparing a schedule to a business‑to‑business agreement. For further guidance on drafting commercial contracts, in general, see: Practice Note: Key terms and conditions in commercial contracts Practice Note: Structure and form of commercial contracts Commercial contract drafting and review-checklist Commercial contract review and execution (business personnel)-checklist What are schedules used for? Schedules to an agreement typically hold detailed information about particular aspects of the deal or deviations from a standard contract, and they commonly address commercial matters. These may cover pricing and charges, key personnel, service levels and service credits, technical specifications and statements of work (e.g. details of licensed software, scope of services to be performed, descriptions of products to be provided), territories covered, sales targets, governance, business continuity and disaster recovery, and policies. In more intricate agreements, the appropriate commercial teams within the business often assume responsibility for schedules addressing commercial issues (with input from lawyers where required), as they...

STOP PRESS: A major overhaul of the UK listing framework took effect on 29 July 2024, featuring the abolition of the premium and standard segments and the introduction of a single listing category for equity shares in commercial companies. The commercial companies category is strongly disclosure-led and sits beside other categories, including shell companies, secondary listing and closed ended investment fund categories. A new UK Listing Rules sourcebook commenced to deliver these reforms and the former Listing Rules sourcebook was withdrawn. For more information, see Practice Note: Reform of the UK listing regime—fundamentals. This fundamentals note describes the listing framework as it existed before 29 July 2024. The UK corporate reporting landscape has been influenced by Brexit. For further details see Brexit—accounts and reports.

Purpose The verification exercise primarily serves to shield directors accountable for the contents of the offer documentation, by setting out the steps taken to verify the truth and accuracy of the information contained in the relevant document. In most cases, the process concludes with a written record—termed the verification notes—substantiating the statements included within the offer documentation. Who does what? In a recommended offer where the offeree board circular forms part of the offer document, the offeror's lawyers usually co-ordinate the verification, with the offeree's lawyers providing input on those sections for which the offeree directors take responsibility. Where a separate offeree board circular is produced, the offeree's lawyers will co-ordinate verification of that document. The lawyers work closely with their clients throughout, and directors often delegate duties to a committee. This delegation does not, however, remove the directors' ultimate responsibility for the contents of the offer documentation...

The Budget The Budget is a Parliamentary occasion where the Chancellor of the Exchequer delivers key statements on the national economy. It sets out the government’s tax intentions for the next year, and at times for later periods. Most measures due in the following tax year will already have been announced and consulted on in advance. Fresh announcements may arrive on Budget day—some, mainly anti-avoidance steps, take effect immediately. Others are scheduled to commence from a future date. The Budget also precedes the presentation of the Finance Bill to Parliament. In most years there is a single Finance Bill, though in some—such as those featuring a general election—there have been two or even three, as outlined below. Income tax and corporation tax are annual charges, so they can only be levied for a year (a tax year for income tax, or a financial year for corporation tax) where an Act of Parliament provides for them. Consequently, the government’s power to charge...
