Peter Mandelson's Global Counsel collapses owing £4.6m

Peter Mandelson's former consultancy Global Counsel has collapsed into administration owing £4.6m, including £645,789 to HM Revenue and Customs. The company, which advised TikTok, Palantir and GSK, lost several accounts after revelations about Mandelson's relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Administrators reported liabilities of £4,596,149 against realizable assets of £2.7m. Employees were collectively owed £2.6m. The collapse comes as Mandelson faces scrutiny over failing the UK government's enhanced vetting process before his appointment as ambassador to Washington.

HMRC launches campaign to help 21-year-olds find forgotten child trust funds worth £2,200

HMRC has launched a campaign to contact 21-year-olds with unclaimed Child Trust Funds, tax-free savings accounts set up by the Labour government in 2005. Over 6 million CTFs were created for children born between September 2002 and January 2011, with average balances of £2,200. More than 750,000 accounts remain unclaimed despite two-thirds of recipients being over 18 and entitled to access their money.

UK Fintech Stratiphy Launches Crypto ETN Offering After Regulatory Changes

Stratiphy has launched a new offering providing UK investors with a tax-free route back into crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) after regulatory shifts effectively shut them out. The Financial Conduct Authority lifted its four-year ban on retail access to crypto ETNs in October 2025, but HMRC later ruled that new purchases would only qualify for Innovative Finance ISAs, a niche product no platform offered. Stratiphy now offers three 21Shares ETNs covering Bitcoin, Ether and a Bitcoin-gold blend.

HMRC to Appeal Ruling Cutting VAT on Public EV Chargers to 5%

HM Revenue and Customs has confirmed it will appeal against a London tax tribunal ruling that would cut VAT on public electric car chargers from 20% to 5%. The tribunal found last month that VAT should have been charged at the lower rate, potentially saving drivers hundreds of pounds annually. The appeal maintains a disparity where home chargers pay 5% VAT while public chargers pay 20%, with the Treasury currently collecting £85m/year from the difference, projected to rise to £315m by 2030.
