Etsy raised its UK Regulatory Operating Fee from 0.32% to 0.48% on June 22, 2026, and starting August 11, 2026 requires AI-content and production-partner disclosure plus original designs for laser-cut, sublimation, and CNC products — here's the pricing formula and compliance checklist to handle both.
The FTC formally withdrew its nationwide noncompete ban from the Code of Federal Regulations on February 12, 2026, and pivoted to case-by-case Section 5 enforcement — its April 2026 order against Rollins, Inc. covered more than 18,000 employees — while state law, from outright bans in California and Minnesota to salary thresholds in Washington and Colorado, remains the primary source of risk for small employers.
Flight schools are utilization businesses — track block-time deferred revenue per student, leaseback per tail, fuel and overhaul reserves per hour, CFI classification, and revenue per aircraft hour to clear break-even.
ASU 2020-07 requires nonprofits to present contributed nonfinancial assets as a separate line item, disaggregated by category, with disclosed valuation methods.

The IRS payroll tax deposit lookback period runs from July 1 of the second preceding year through June 30 of the prior year; employers reporting $50,000 or less in that window deposit monthly, those above it deposit semiweekly, and accumulating $100,000 or more in liability on a single day triggers a next-day deposit requirement and semiweekly status through the following year.
PCI DSS 4.0's transition period ended March 31, 2025, so every merchant assessment from 2026 onward now enforces mandatory payment-page script monitoring, MFA for all cardholder-data access, and authenticated internal vulnerability scans — noncompliance risks $5,000-$100,000 monthly fines from acquiring banks plus an average $173,692 added breach cost per IBM's research.
Under ASU 2020-07 (ASC 958-605), nonprofits must record donated goods, services, and facility use at fair value on a separate line item and disclose valuation methodology by category, or risk an auditor flagging the financial statements.
Business wire transfers are governed by UCC Article 4A, not Regulation E, meaning a company can be held liable for a fraudulent wire if its bank's security procedure was commercially reasonable, even though 86% of the FBI's $3.05 billion in 2025 BEC losses moved via wire or ACH.
SECURE 2.0 Section 110 lets employers match 401(k), 403(b), SIMPLE IRA, or governmental 457(b) contributions based on an employee's student loan payments instead of elective deferrals, and plan sponsors adopting the feature must formally amend their plan documents by December 31, 2026.
Indoor tanning services carry a 10% federal excise tax reported quarterly on IRS Form 720 Part II, and salons that don't isolate it in a dedicated liability account and itemize bundled packages are the ones examiners flag.
