Brexit, One Year On – What have we learned?
Irish & UK VAT and Customs – Common Pitfalls and Practical Solutions
Monday, 25th April 2022, 12.30pm – 2.00pm
RBK Chartered Accountants are delighted to continue our series of monthly in-person / hybrid events which will be held in the UCD University Club in Dublin and on-line. Over the course of the series, we will be discussing a variety of topical issues that are relevant to our clients. We will be bringing in other leading professional services firms and industry specialists to provide our clients with industry and sector specific knowledge.
The Second event will take place on Monday, 25th April. Since 1 January 2021, all goods passing between Great Britain and Ireland need to pass through customs checks. There is new paperwork and other regulatory issues to consider such as the need for inspections and potential customs duty charges depending on the origin of the goods. Deciding which of the parties to the transaction will be responsible for importation also requires careful consideration of contracts. For many businesses the last year has been about keeping goods moving and reviewing and reconfiguring supply chains.
Join RBK Chartered Accountants, together with Nigel Roberts, Director of VAT & Indirect Taxes at Scotland’s largest independent firm of Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers, Johnston Carmichael, Brian McNamara, Managing Director of customs clearance experts, Swiftfile and RBK’s Ronan McGivern, International Tax & Business Advisory Partner as we share practical insights and provide guidance in relation to Irish VAT, UK VAT and Customs considerations.

This event is of interest to businesses involved in goods transactions between the UK and Ireland, including goods moving to and from Northern Ireland.
