EEF launches dedicated Brexit hotline to help manufacturers debunk the Government's technical notices
28/08/2018 MAKE UK
The EEF has launched a dedicated Brexit hotline for businesses to call for expert advice following on from the publication of the first raft technical notices on what they can expect in the event of the UK crashing out of the EU in March next year.EEF comments, "While we welcome the increased clarity for businesses, we urge Government to publish the remaining notices as soon as possible so companies can have the full picture of what a no-deal scenario will mean for them.
The decision to allow importers to defer VAT payments is very gratefully received and is something EEF has been campaigning hard for with Government in order to protect the 145,000 businesses in the UK which are above the VAT threshold.
To help manufacturers, EEF is launching a dedicated Brexit hotline to help companies understand the implications of the technical notices. Our Brexit experts are currently analysing today's technical notices and we will be publishing easy-to-understand summaries on our website over the coming days.
While it is clearly prudent that Government plans for a no-deal Brexit scenario, we remain confident that Government will secure a deal with the EU and will continue to work with ministers to help secure this."
