HMRC has extended the existence of trader support service that helps businesses move goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland until December 2023.
The department says that more than 47,000 businesses of all sizes have registered with the free-to-use digital platform since its launch in 2020 to help them navigate changes to the way goods move under the Northern Ireland protocol.
It provides guidance and training to help traders understand what the protocol means for them, enabling them to complete declarations without having to buy specialist software.
HMRC said: ‘The government is committed to ensuring traders are supported throughout 2023 to meet the requirements of moving goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, including tailoring this support in response to the changes the government is seeking to make to the Northern Ireland protocol.’
