Deal with DUP sees return of Northern Ireland Assembly
Last week the DUP and UK Government reached a deal which culminated on Saturday in the return of the Northern Ireland assembly. After the deal was announced earlier in the week, the UK Government published the accompanying Command Paper and associated documents, including legislation, which sets out more detail. The agreement and corresponding legislation were then debated in Parliament.
The Institute expects UK Government officials to provide more information in due course on what this specifically means for traders and will advise accordingly in Chartered Accountants Tax News in future.
