With 2020 having been dominated by Covid-19, Brexit has, until now, taken a bit of a back seat. And yet, come the end of the year, when the transition period ends, there are some significant implications for all businesses.
What will Brexit mean for SMEs?
- Changes in travel and visa requirements which will affect any travel to the EU, EU nationals or UK nationals living overseas
- Changes in tariffs, import VAT, insurance and VAT registration plus the need to register for an EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification number) for businesses that import or export goods, either as sales or in their supply chain
- Reviewing your contracts, terms of business and payment terms – they may no longer be relevant
