HMRC will start automatically enrolling companies in a key customs system in preparation for a no-deal Brexit
More than 88,000 companies will be allocated an Economic Operator Register and Identification (EORI) number in the next two weeks, adding to the 72,000 firms who have already registered.
Sajid Javid is quoted by Public Technology:
"There can be no time for delay which is why HMRC has allocated thousands of businesses with a trading number to ensure they can continue to trade their goods through Europe from day one.
This will help ease the flow of goods at border points and support businesses to trade and grow."
Tax does have to be taxing.

Boris has called their bluff it appears. Mutti Merkel has offered a lifeline at the last minute. Her usual tactic, to nothing for months/years then scream panic at the last minute to railroad the deal she wants. Stitched up by traitors.

I don't blame them for auto enrollment, at least they are doing something. The Home Secretary is putting his foot up HMRC's back passage. He doesn't want another MTD scenario where traders do nothing and then they have to cancel penalties. Then lie their way out of it or blame it on someone else.
If this goes to shit, then so does the country.
Forget the politicians.
ReplyDeleteIts 2019 FFS. There are systems around the world undertraking what needs to be done in this JIT age of e.commerce, and they work.
Do goods order themselves, sometimes, electronically and based on sales and stock levels - all of which are recorded by the e. genie, who also places the order and organises the transport and there are ferry bookings, amazingly on-line, and the tunnel.
Practically everything has to travel and be recorded by a manifest, load list or bill of lading/airwaybill.
You cannot ship on a ferry or containership or aircraft any freight without stating/declaring what it is.
Trustedtrader.com status, duty on deposit, bonds held are all controls that work.
Pre-seal cargo that requires it (using tamper-proof systems) emplo G4S or similar to undertake physical checks, with supervision of course, any cargo that turns up with a seal broken or not as it is - fine, withdraw facility and be 100% exam at frontier.
Remember, it already is an offence to make a false declaration, misdescribe, undervalue etc.
In this day and age 'controls' need not mean delays if compliance is maintained, if it isn't fine them.
Post import controls already take place at traders premises or approved warehouses - what could go wrong?
I thought the Departmental Trader Register (DTR) System already held all the traders who were auto-enrolled in the early 1990s? Aren't the EORI numbers just sitting there on the system?
ReplyDeleteHMRC hold all the data, whether their useless contract negotiation in relation to I.T. has catered for its cross stream applications is anyones guess. Does Connect connect?
ReplyDeleteCertainly a vast amount of data is collected by HMRC, whether it all gets used to best effect is unlikely given past performance.
They should get some decent management in there not the CP lemons that currently infest it!
