The Brexit Support Fund closes for applications tomorrow. HMRC is encouraging eligible businesses to complete their application before then as the scheme application date will not be extended beyond today 30 June 2021. This £20 million SME fund is designed to enable traders to access practical support, including training for not just new customs rules but support also with the rules of origin and VAT processes.
From a recent discussion with HMRC we understand the evidence burden of these grants is much lighter than other grants and that an application can be made before 30 June 2021 but the evidence does not need to be submitted until 31 August 2021.
