1 Brexit Brief what should we do now Indirect Tax Forum April 2018
2 What is Brexit? Most fundamental change to UK trade with the EU and rest of the world in decades, with a new customs border created between the UK and EU. Exact Brexit model should be negotiated over 2 years following triggering of Art 50. Wasn t possible now we have a Transition Period until December 2020 / April Impact felt by traders now, so many are preparing for Brexit already. With the potential for indirect tax changes to take effect from as early as April Political Environment is constantly evolving which creates uncertainty for all EU traders. Could a redline issue breakdown mean we Brexit before December 2020 / April 2021?

5 Possible landing zones Analysis of the negotiating red lines from the UK and EU allows for the possible landing zones for the future deal with the EU to be mapped in sufficient detail to allow meaningful plans, with defined triggers, to be built now. Canada plus plus plus Canada base model No deal EU exit with ambitious bespoke FTA and supporting agreements in place EU exit with FTA and supporting agreements in place, based on best previous agreed provisions EU exit with no FTA in place. Free Trade Agreement ( Canada Plus Plus Plus ): A comprehensive FTA, building on EU best in-class FTAs, with extensive alignment and high degrees of flexibility Free Trade Agreement (CETA): A comprehensive FTA, modelled on EU best inclass FTAs (e.g. CETA), with some enhanced alignment on regulations and customs WTO agreement: A comprehensive agreement is not reached and the UK moves to a default WTO trading relationship Regulation Agreed harmonisation of regulatory outcomes (goods and services) and mutual recognition. Enhanced bilateral dispute mechanisms / court. Ongoing UK membership of key EU agencies. Agreement to cooperate on alignment of regulation, including limited equivalence and mutual recognition, with bilateral dispute mechanism with recourse to WTO. No agreed regulatory cooperation. Potential for future divergence. Loss of market access in some areas, particular heavily regulated sectors. Commercial & trade Tariff free access for all goods meeting Origin Rules. Customs procedures are streamlined. Extensive negotiated access for services based on extensive regulatory alignment and/or mutual recognition. Tariff free access for manufactured and most agricultural goods. Customs procedures introduced for EU goods trade with agreed streamlining. Agreement on which service sectors will remain open and exemptions. UK trades goods with the EU / EU-FTA countries on WTO. No preferential clearance programmes are in place, creating delays and costs People Quasi-free movement of workers with priority skills with generous agreed quotas and/or triggers for controlled movement. Labour mobility is streamlined, with facilitated visa regimes limited to certain professions or visa categories. No facilitation of free movement between UK-EU. More restrictive visa regime introduced. Innovation Continued paid access to Horizon UK continues to collaborate with EU on innovation, data sharing and IP Continued paid access to Horizon UK continues to collaborate with EU on innovation, data sharing and IP Loss of access to all EU funding.

6 Planning for the impact of Brexit Impact mostly focused in 3 key areas Trade & 1 People & 3 customs immigration 2 Strategy & business plan What does trade between the UK and the rest of the world look like following Brexit and what impact will this have on cost, admin and time?
