BREXIT - what it means for small manufacturers

<< < (30/65) > >>

SilverSolder:

Predictions:

1) Brexiters will claim "this is not a true Brexit" and wash their hands of any and all problems

2) Industry/finance push for ever more deals/agreements to be tagged on to this over the years so we eventually end up close to where we started

bd139:
Correct!

Hopefully Farage and all the associated loons will fuck off at least.

Labour will vote for this and most Tory MPs are fundamentally remainers held hostage by the brextremists in the party and can claim they are voting 'for' brexit by agreeing to this deal. The ERG will be irrelevant.

Sadly, the chances of Farage & Co. fucking off permanently are minimal.

Hopefully he'll go flying in a light aircraft again  >:D

The big issue for small internet  traders selling into the uk from the eu and vice versa is customs clearance around vat

Vat will now have  be collected on everything which means delays and clearance charges , ordinary people don’t suddenly like getting another bill plus xx euros/pounds for clearance charges , plus the delays etc

It’s back to the early 80s.

Even things like bringing expensive gear  into the EU /UK to bring it back , ( test gear  tools of the  trade ) will require ATA carnets

In 1980s I could at least pay my postman , now he can’t take cash and I have to go to a post office to collect

So , if you  are a small supplier maybe selling a few kits into the uk , from the eu ,  even though you arnt vat registered , your customers will see a 21% uplift ( plus clearance charges ) . For the exact same thing, plus delays etc . The exact reverse will to a small uk supplier selling into the eu 

It will kill small internet traders.

It’s a clusterF 

The big looser isn’t the UK, it’s Ireland
