EEF launches dedicated Brexit hotline
28 August 2018
EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation, has launched a dedicated Brexit hotline for businesses to call for expert advice following publication of the first raft of technical notices on what they can expect in the event of the UK crashing out of the EU in March next year.
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 today 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.
The hotline can be reached on 0808 168 5874
