• Bill introduced giving practical effect to various aspects of the Northern Ireland Protocol
• the Bill will allow us to put in place decisions by the Joint Committee on goods 鈥榥ot at risk鈥� of entering the EU, ensuring they do not have to pay the EU tariff
• a significant element in ensuring we live up to our commitments to uphold the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement

Financial Secretary to the Treasury Jesse Norman said:

This Bill delivers on the government鈥檚 commitment to upholding the Good Friday Agreement, ensuring trade can continue in line with the agreement reached in the Northern Ireland Protocol.

皇冠体育app Northern Ireland Protocol requires that the UK introduces a framework for charges for customs, VAT and excise after the end of the transition period on 31 December.

皇冠体育app Taxation Bill creates the legal framework for those charges, aiming to minimise the practical changes for traders to ensure the efficient flow of goods within the United Kingdom, and on the island of Ireland.

Customs charges will only apply to goods arriving in Northern Ireland - from both Great Britain and countries outside of the EU 鈥� if they are 鈥榓t risk鈥� of moving into the EU. 皇冠体育app Joint Committee will set out more information in coming days.

皇冠体育app Bill will also ensure that EU goods imported into Northern Ireland from Ireland are not subject to customs duties or processes. It will also ensure the UK鈥檚 customs regime applies for goods moving from Northern Ireland to Great Britain if those goods do not qualify for unfettered access.

This Bill also sets out the VAT and excise duty rules that will apply between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

皇冠体育app EU-UK Joint statement made today sets out the agreement in principle regarding the implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol. 皇冠体育app Government is therefore not introducing the so-called notwithstanding provision into the Taxation Bill.
