The Treasury issues this Order to amend the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities etc.) (Amendment) Order 2025, which primarily addresses the regulation of deferred payment credit agreements, often termed "buy-now-pay-later" (BNPL) agreements.

Key amendments include excluding domestic premises suppliers from certain credit broking regulations related to these agreements and establishing transitional provisions to ensure that existing Part 4A permissions remain valid for the activities as they stand after the Order’s changes take effect on the regulatory commencement date.

These amendments are largely consequential and aimed at updating terminology and allowing Commissioners to undertake functions previously reserved for officers.

HM Treasury enacted regulations establishing the framework for designating overseas financial recognition regimes, coordinating regulatory functions, and amending secondary legislation governing insurance and short selling.

The Financial Services (Overseas Recognition Regime Designations) Regulations 2025 establish the framework under which HM Treasury can designate the laws and practices of other countries or territories as equivalent to UK financial services and markets law, exercising powers granted by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023.

The Regulations define what constitutes an 'overseas recognition regime designation,' grant the Treasury power to impose conditions, require decision-making coordination among the Treasury and key regulators (FCA, PRA, Bank of England), and introduce specific information-gathering powers.

Furthermore, the document amends existing legislation regarding insurance and short selling regulations to align them with this new designation regime.

The core of the document details the registration process managed by the FCA for 'Registered Swiss Suppliers,' outlines supervisory and cooperation duties for the FCA, PRA, and Bank of England, and incorporates mechanisms for product intervention, information gathering, supervisory prohibitions, and prudential safeguards specific to services provided under this arrangement, alongside amending related UK legislation like the RAO and the Financial Promotion Order.

The Registrar of Companies (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2025, made under the powers of the Companies Act 2006, revise the fees payable for various company registration and administrative functions, effective from February 1st, 2026.

These regulations amend fees for companies, overseas companies, limited liability partnerships, limited partnerships (including Scottish entities), and European Economic Interest Groupings, generally increasing many of the established charges to reflect increased costs, while also revoking certain fees concerning document inspection and copying, allowing the Registrar discretion to set such fees administratively going forward.

These regulations, made by the Treasury under powers from the Finance Act 2020, specifically ensure that compensation payouts are exempt from Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, and Corporation Tax, and provide relief from Inheritance Tax, applying these exemptions retrospectively to payments received or disposals made from October 27, 2025.
