This week’s EU exit corner, 15 November 2021

Nov 15, 2021

In this week’s EU exit corner, we bring you a reminder from HMRC on ensuring “rest of world to Northern Ireland declarations” are now submitted on the Customs Declaration Service (“CDS”) and not CHIEF, in addition to the latest guidance updates. See also our most recent EU exit bulletin which features every Friday in Chartered Accountants News. A  new post, “Duty Deferment Accounts (DDA) for delayed declarations imported into Great Britain (GB) by Intermediaries/Agents” has also been published on the HMRC working with tax agents blog. And HMRC has also sent an important reminder on postponed accounting for import VAT.

Rest of world to Northern Ireland declarations must now be made via the CDS 

HMRC has issued an important reminder about the change to using the Customs Declaration Service for Rest of World to Northern Ireland imports from 31 October 2021. The message from HMRC is as follows:-

“We have heard the concerns some of you have raised on behalf of your members about readiness for this change, and the challenges of using the TSS for imports to NI where they are not ready to use CDS. Whilst we understand the concerns about the potential for disruption to trade, we have worked closely with declarants to ensure they are ready. In addition, the TSS has proactively reached out to declarants to assist them in adopting their service.

The CDS team and TSS team are ready to support declarants with the new processes, and your members should use the relevant helplines if they need support with declarations. Please let us know if your members are experiencing issues that cannot be resolved through these channels and we will do what we can to offer additional help and support.” 

“Postponed VAT Accounting. The benefits and where can you find out more

From 1‌‌ ‌January‌‌ ‌2022 you can continue to use Postponed VAT Accounting (PVA) on all customs declarations that require you to account for import VAT, including supplementary declarations, except when HMRC have told you otherwise.

PVA has already provided significant cash flow benefits for thousands of our customers, and we expect that most businesses will choose to use it. This is because PVA allows UK VAT-registered importers to account for and recover import VAT on their VAT return, rather than paying the import VAT when the goods are imported. You can head to GOV.UK to find out more.

You can use PVA for goods you’re importing from the EU or other countries. And PVA is not a temporary process, so you will be able to continue to use it following the end of staged customs controls.

There isn’t an application process, but you do need to confirm in your customs declaration that you are using PVA, and you’ll need to make sure that the person making your VAT declarations is also prepared.

If you use the Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) system

On your declaration, enter:

•

your EORI number starting with 'GB' which includes your VAT registration number into box 8 (Header Consignee), or, if applicable, your VAT registration number in box 44h (Registered Consignee)

•

'G' (Postponed accounting for VAT approved) as the method of payment in Box 47e.

If you use the Customs Declaration Service (CDS)

On your declaration, enter:

•

your VAT registration number at header level in data element 3/40.

Please note that VAT will be recorded against your EORI and will be at declaration level only.

If you use someone else to do your declarations for you, it’s your responsibility to tell them if you want to use PVA

If someone else is doing your customs declarations for you such as a freight forwarder, customs agent, broker or fast parcel operator you need to tell them that you want to use PVA to account for import VAT on the imported goods. They can then complete the customs declaration correctly on your behalf, and you should keep a written record of what is agreed.

New support and services

HMRC has launched two new digital upload services to provide a quicker and more simplified process when you send your documents to us

When you access the services, you’ll benefit from:

a more straightforward way to send your documents

•

improved security when sending your documents to HMRC

efficient two-way communication if we have any questions for you.

You can use the service on GOV‌‌.UK to upload:

•

The documents you’ll need to support your claims.

You can find out more and upload your documents at GOV.UK.

The Export Support Service

The Export Support Service is a new helpline for UK businesses to get answers to practical questions about exporting to Europe. The service is a 'one-stop shop' and brings together UK government information, making it easier for exporters to access advice and support.

If you’re a UK business selling goods or services to Europe, you can contact the UK government export support team by phone or online.

You can ask any question for your business, including questions about:

•

exporting to new markets

•

paperwork you need to sell your goods abroad

•

rules for a specific country where you want to sell services.

You can access the Export Support Service on GOV.UK.
