Search for ‘EncroChat’ and you will be met with a deluge of criminal cases stemming from Dutch and French law enforcement’s recent penetration of the encrypted messaging platform. In the UK, Justice Ian Burnett, in the Court of Appeal of England and Wales on 16 March 2023 in R v Peter Murray, recorded 950 convictions tied to EncroChat evidence, and 1,800 defendants awaiting trial where such material sits at the heart of the prosecution; most are in custody. The infiltration of the messaging tool has sparked multiple legal challenges across jurisdictions, notably in the Netherlands and the UK, as outlined below. Yet whether this category of computer-derived material should be admitted, when judged against the integrity of the data, remains largely untested. This piece examines the EncroChat infiltration, the convictions, and the UK legal contests so far. It critiques the UK common law approach, which presumes computer evidence is accurate, sets out why that assumption is misplaced, and advocates a more discerning framework for evaluating the integrity of such material...

As trailed, the government will scrap the Furnished Holiday Lettings regime from 6 April 2025, thereby removing the favourable treatment enjoyed by short-term furnished holiday lets over homes rented to longer-term tenants. The change is intended to apply from 6 April...
FORTHCOMING CHANGE relating to the future withdrawal of DST : Following OECD-led talks that produced a political accord on a two‑pillar solution in October 2021, the UK reached an understanding with the US, Austria, France, Spain and Italy to move away from DST towards the new global tax regime, using a transitional DST credit system. Under the arrangement, the UK would retain DST receipts until Pillar One became operational and, once in force, companies could credit against future UK corporation tax the difference between DST paid from January 2022 and the amount that would have arisen had Pillar One applied instead. In exchange, the US, which regards digital services taxes as discriminatory towards US companies, agreed to withdraw proposed retaliatory tariffs on certain US imports from the other five countries, and undertook not to pursue additional trade measures against those states because of their digital services taxes until the interim period concluded. This understanding was subsequently extended by all six countries to 30 June 2024, from an original end...
