UK Subsidy Control Insider

The UK Subsidy Control Insider (UKSCI) is an invaluable resource for those seeking insights into the evolving landscape of subsidy regulations in the United Kingdom. Since the enactment of the Subsidy Control Act 2022, there have been notable alterations to the manner in which public authorities administer subsidies, diverging from the previous EU State aid rules.
