Brexit thread

[duke63]

It's always nice to see two neighbouring nations look out for each other

Its only a matter of time before Ireland becomes one country again.

Yep. It's already happening, step by step.

Good to see our politicians are up with the times and modern technology and didn't just copy a crap load of stuff of Wikipedia for the brexit agreement.


Oh yeah...

It'll be interesting to see who is to blame for that. I'm sure I read that we ended up using the EU draft, which is why offset if the reason why it's weighted in their favour.

And this is just one business

Let's argue about fish and forget one of the countries biggest contributers to GDP.

The Prime Minister admitted last week that the 1,246-page Brexit agreement "does not go as far as we would like" on financial services

The City has a worse deal, as it stands, than Australia, New York, Singapore.

FFS!

I'm beginning to wonder if "the deal" is actually worse than no deal.

Long term, you might be right

Johnson has 4 years to turn the UK into the 'world-beating' powerhouse he promised.

Doesn't sound like he has made a great start.

Hopefully the French government tell him to fcuk right off.

Ultimately the people who have decided to restrict travel and require a test to travel are France, not the UK. International travel has been a well discussed risk for the last 9 months, this month being a good example, so extra restrictions due to the circumstances should not be a suprise.

Managed to get back to France this morning. Left Dorset just before it went into tier 3. Got covid tests at an NHS testing station although we should not have and we should have paid over £100 each for them. Took the dog before the end of the year so that we didn't need to pay the UK vet £125 for a AHC despite him having a pet passport.
I wonder if the decision to close the French border, as is the right of any sovereign country, was anything to do with the UK threatening gunboats to monitor fishing?
I did notice that the French sent people over to Kent to help with the covid testing as the UK only supplied two people to do that job and they were due to finish work at 17:00.

From the start of this year, companies from outside the UK who want to sell to the UK, have to register with HRMC. Overseas firms collect the VAT then remit it to HMRC. This isn't the same as import duties. Online marketplaces will be responsible for collecting and accounting for the VAT. Goods sent from overseas and sold directly to UK Consumers without Online MarketPlace involvement will require the seller to register with HRMC.

They've also abolished the £15 minimum threshold, so the VAT rules apply to everything.

William Shatner (yep, Star Trek him) said back in October that he worked it out and it would cost him £1,000 a year, which his shop can't afford. So he stopped sending stuff to the UK.

So now we're starting to see small companies refusing to send stuff to the UK, simply because they can't afford to.

I've looked at buying stuff from the UK to ship over here too. Some companies are selling to European buyers without VAT and then relying on customs to pick up the fact VAT hasnt been paid and charging the buyer before releasing the goods. What a ball-ache.

From memory and pre single market, ( a long time ago) the only other way to do it is for those companies exporting to the EU to be VAT registered in each Country they export to and declare and pay the VAT to thsoe countries.

Its a long time ago now though and things might be different now but in all honesty, i can't see an easier way to do it.
