In this week’s EU exit corner, we bring you the latest guidance updates and publications relevant to EU exit. We also update you on recent developments in relation to the Windsor Framework and the latest Trader Support Service (“TSS”) bulletin is also available. Last week it was announced that the TSS is being extended one further year to 31 December 2024. The Institute has been lobbying for a further extension to the TSS and welcomes this decision but will be considering what permanent supports are needed in this area in future.
Update on the Windsor Framework
Last week HMRC published further details on the Windsor Framework as some significant elements of it began to take effect from the end of September.
From 30 September 2023, the new UK Internal Market Scheme expanded the range of businesses able to benefit from the new arrangements provided to protect internal UK movements, including the removal of EU tariffs. In tandem, the new sanitary and phytosanitary “green lane” arrangements took effect, including the new Retail Movement Scheme for agrifood retail products, new rules to allow plants to move into Northern Ireland and new arrangements to enable seed potatoes to move once again from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. As these changes bed down in the coming weeks and months, contact us to share your feedback and any problem areas which arise.
