Key announcement: latest tax proposals

Tax administration and maintenance day 
What was announced? 

Not all tax announcements are made in the Budget. The government now publishes many longer term and administrative proposals several weeks later and on 30 November 2021 it released a large batch of documents on changes to the UK tax system. 

While many of the documents and proposals are at an early stage, if you are interested in how much tax you pay, when you have to pay it and how much...

Brexit shambles not fit for (trade) purpose, says customs consultant

Rolling out the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS) in time for Brexit was a “technological marvel” – but a trading disaster.  
Chairman of customs consultancy ASM Peter MacSwiney said the viability of the new border control system for coordinating the movement of vehicles epitomised the model of government led by Boris Johnson.  
“Ours is a government with a three-word policy, and that policy has been ‘get Brexit done’, and that’s what Boris did,” Mr MacSwiney told The …

Whitehall unveils Brexit border operating model – but the tech may prove tricky

The UK logistics industry has welcomed more clarity in the government’s new border operating model, but has warned that many details are still lacking, making the timeframes “extremely challenging”.
The 206-page document, published yesterday, outlines protocols for borders and differing commodities, but a lot relies on new technology, which is either not completed or not currently compatible with industry systems.
However, the British International Freight Association (BIFA) welcomed an...

Freight operators welcome delay to HMRC Transitional Simplified Procedures

Freight operators have welcomed HMRC’s decision to delay implementation of the Transitional Simplified Procedures for customs (TSP) in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

TSP met with a fierce backlash from haulage operators who claimed the arrangements prioritised new applicants for authorisation, and forwarder association Bifa was particularly vocal in …

The FTA’s head of multimodal policy, Alex Veitch, …
