What’s changed post-Brexit?
The UK became a third country with regard to the EU on 1 January 2021. This has had major consequences. It affected everything from cross-border trade and tax administration to law-making, government coordination and consumer rights.
The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement was agreed on 24 December 2020, a week before the end of the transition period, and is now fully implemented into UK law. Subsequently, on 27 April, this agreement was ratified in the European Parliament.
However, as the months continue to pass, businesses still feel the everyday effects of the agreement. Many organisations are still untangling what Brexit means to them from a VAT compliance perspective.
This e-book explores what points businesses should focus on post-Brexit.

Supply chains in a post-Brexit world
Businesses should continue reviewing their supply chains and, where necessary, put appropriate new measures in place to protect trade.
For example, UK businesses can no longer use their UK VAT number to apply simplification measures within their supply chains – such as acting as the intermediary party in triangulation and operating a call-off stock.
This e-book covers this topic in depth as well as:
- B2B Supply Chains
Learn about Incoterms, VAT registration within Member States and how businesses approach VAT recovery within a post-Brexit world. - B2C Considerations
The removal of Low Value Consignment Relief in addition to the introduction of the Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) alter how UK businesses sell to European customers. Because of this, it’s important that B2C businesses understand what’s required to stay compliant. - Fiscal Representation
Many EU tax authorities require non-EU businesses to appoint a fiscal representative when registering for VAT. Discover how this affects your business and the people leading your VAT compliance.
