Lycamobile UK Ltd v HMRC [2026] UKUT 74 (TCC) The appellant, Lycamobile UK Ltd (LMUK), marketed a range of ‘plan bundles’ to UK consumers. These packages conferred, for a set duration, allowances or entitlements to use particular telecommunications services and, in some instances, access to additional services. LMUK accounted for VAT on the bundles only when, and to the extent that, the services available under a given bundle were actually consumed in practice. HMRC’s position was that VAT became chargeable at the point of sale of the bundles. The timing mattered because real-world take-up of the credit bundles was relatively modest, so calculating VAT by reference to actual consumption would yield a reduced liability. To resolve the dispute, the tribunals focused on identifying the true nature of the supply made to the customer: was LMUK supplying a right to make use of a credit bundle over the period, or was it supplying the credits as such?...

MEPs endorse new rules to regulate ESG ratings At its 24 April 2024 plenary, Parliament signed off rules designed to bring significant clarity and consistency to the way ESG ratings are produced and shared. The package, passed by 464 votes in favour, 115 against and 13 abstentions, will organise the landscape of ESG rating activities so investors can take more informed decisions and curb greenwashing. The measures were provisionally settled in February 2024 by a team of MEPs, headed by Aurore Lalucq (S&D, FR), together with the Council Presidency on behalf of the Member States. These rules set out how ratings are undertaken and communicated with consistency. More transparency—break down the ESG rating As a principle, distinct E, S and G scores must be supplied rather than one composite ESG figure that bundles the three factors. In addition, where a rating covers the E factor, details will also have to be given on whether it reflects alignment with the Paris Agreement and any other pertinent international accords...
