HMRC sets out rules for VAT margin scheme on imported art and antiques

HMRC guidance published 2 November 2026 explains when importers of art, antiques and collectors' items can use the VAT margin or global accounting scheme, an exception to the normal rule that imports do not qualify. It covers notification, valuation and the treatment of Temporary Admission and artist's resale right charges.

  • Imported works of art, antiques and collectors' items may use the VAT margin or global accounting scheme as an exception to the normal rule excluding imports.
  • Dealers must notify HMRC in writing of the date they start using the scheme and must use it for at least two years.
  • The scheme must be applied to all transactions and goods, not selectively by category.
  • For VAT purposes, imported goods are valued at 25% of their customs value, illustrated by a £10,000 customs value producing £500 VAT due at 20%.
  • Artist's resale right charges, introduced into the UK in 2006, are outside the scope of UK VAT and must not be used to reduce the margin.

FCA flags algo trading, AI and data control gaps in wholesale bank review

The FCA's Autumn 2026 wholesale banks supervision insights sets out crystallised risks drawn from supervisory work and internal audit findings, spanning data management, algorithmic trading, AI governance, financial crime and conflicts of interest. For compliance and risk teams at wholesale banks, it offers a rare look at specific control failures the regulator has observed in practice and its expectations going forward.

  • Wholesale banks should submit cryptoasset variation of permission applications by 28 February 2027 to be assessed or continue activity before the regime starts on 25 October 2027.
  • An algorithm defect caused unintended accumulation of a very significant intraday position after pre-implementation testing failed to consider near-simultaneous fills in different geographic locations.
  • The FCA reviewed 6 wholesale banks' prime brokerage businesses and found limited evidence at some firms of sharing client risk information across surveillance, investigations and KYC functions.
  • A trader manually entered a notional figure in the billions instead of millions due to misunderstanding a platform's denomination convention, and the trade reached clearing before cancellation.
  • The FCA will shortly publish a tokenisation roadmap jointly with the Bank of England and is running a thematic Regulatory Sandbox cohort on climate scenario models from 1 October to 30 November 2026.

FCA consults on equity tape income sharing and incident reporting for all CTPs

The FCA has opened CP26/39, proposing how the equity consolidated tape provider must divide income with the venues and other firms that supply its data, and extending enhanced operational incident reporting to all CTPs. It matters to anyone contributing to or building UK equity and bond tapes, with the equity tape due to go live in 2027 or early 2028.

  • The consultation CP26/39 opened on 29 October 2026 and closes on 17 December 2026, with responses feeding into final rules.
  • Handbook rules will govern how the equity CTP's income share is split among data contributors, applying irrespective of the metric and percentage set in the five-year concession agreement.
  • Enhanced operational incident reporting would be extended to all CTPs, building on PS26/2 rules that come into force on 18 March 2027.
  • The FCA expects a Policy Statement on income splitting in spring 2027 and plans for the equity tape to start operating in 2027 or early 2028.
  • A separate Policy Statement on including SI quotes in the equity tape, plus key procurement documents, is planned by early 2027.

BoE study finds QE effectiveness hinges on why non-banks are growing

This Bank of England staff working paper models how monetary policy transmits through an economy as non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) grow. For compliance and policy teams at banks and asset managers, it offers a research-based signal on how regulators may think about the diverging roles of banks and shadow credit providers in future stimulus design.

  • The paper is Bank of England Staff Working Paper No. 1,212, published 23 October 2026 and authored by Nicolò Bandera, Kristina Bluwstein, Michael Kumhof, Mauricio Salgado-Moreno and Jacob Stevens.
  • The authors build a DSGE model incorporating banks, NBFIs and a central bank interacting via wholesale deposits, bonds and reserve markets, estimated on UK data.
  • Conventional interest rate policy transmission to output and inflation is found to be essentially unaffected by the size of the NBFI sector.
  • Quantitative easing transmission is found to be strongly altered by NBFI sector size and by the source of its expansion, with amplification occurring when NBFI growth stems from firm funding preferences but not when it stems from higher bank finance costs.
  • The paper states that monetary policymakers retain rate control regardless of financial structure, but that balance sheet policy effectiveness depends on the composition and behaviour of the non-bank sector.

BoE securities lending committee flags T+1 readiness gaps and AI governance risks

The Bank of England's Securities Lending Committee met on 15 September 2026 to review T+1 settlement preparations, tax harmonisation challenges, digital asset developments and emerging AI use cases in securities finance. The minutes, published 22 October, give compliance teams a read on industry-wide readiness gaps and the issues supervisors and market bodies are watching ahead of October 2027 implementation.

  • The committee noted industry participants are broadly on track for T+1 implementation in October 2027 but highlighted significant differences in readiness between firms.
  • Persistent operational challenges include securities lending recalls, collateral sourcing, funding, settlement timing, partial settlements and agent lender capabilities.
  • The Tax & Regulations sub-committee reported increased operational challenges from holding-period rules and record date requirements across national tax regimes, which T+1 could amplify.
  • The group discussed a legal case involving potential re-characterisation of a securities financing transaction as a secured loan, which it said could have significant implications for repos and securities lending.
  • Members raised concerns about AI use in governance, resilience, vendor oversight and data security, particularly if AI systems gained access to sensitive operational data.

Bank of England consults on letting CCPs accept uncollateralised letters of credit as margin

The Bank of England is proposing to let UK CCPs accept uncollateralised letters of credit as initial margin collateral, a change rooted in the 2022 energy-market margin spikes. The consultation removes the full-backing requirement, extends eligibility to non-financial clients, and layers on new concentration and due-diligence safeguards. For clearing members, issuing banks and corporate hedgers, it reshapes how margin obligations can be met.

  • The Bank proposes removing the requirement that commercial bank guarantees be fully collateralised before a CCP can accept them as initial margin.
  • Non-financial counterparties clearing as clients, not only clearing members, would become eligible to post LOCs, enabling pass-through models.
  • The single-issuer concentration limit would be cut from 10% to 5% of a CCP's total collateral, and the option to raise it to 25% removed.
  • Eligible issuers would be restricted to authorised UK credit institutions or authorised overseas credit institutions, with ongoing creditworthiness monitoring required.
  • Responses are due by 15 January 2027; final rules are proposed for 2027 H1 with no implementation period.

Bank of England weighs how 24-hour settlement push could reshape SONIA

Bank of England's Money Markets Committee backs phased extension of RTGS and CHAPS hours

The Money Markets Committee met on 25 September 2026 and reviewed sterling funding conditions, the proposed leverage ratio changes and the Bank's plan to extend RTGS and CHAPS settlement hours toward near 24x7. This segment covers what members supported, the operational frictions they raised, and the contingency and Code workstreams flagged for later in the year.

  • Feedback to the May 2026 RTGS/CHAPS consultation was broadly supportive, with respondents favouring extending existing operating days before adding further operating days.
  • Members welcomed the FPC's proposed leverage ratio changes but said it was difficult to predict any near-term material increase in balance-sheet deployment in UK money markets.
  • The next Sterling Money Markets Code update is planned for 2027, and EUI's proposed MiniCREST cyber contingency will return to the December meeting.
