Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many UK businesses have obtained an EORI number in each month of 2019; and what estimate he has made of the number of businesses with an EORI number (a) currently, (b) one year ago, (c) three years ago and (b) five years ago.
Since December 2018 HM Revenue & Customs have issued approximately 74,000 new UK Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) numbers, up to 23 June. The reporting for UK EORI numbers is not done on a monthly basis so a monthly breakdown for EORI numbers issued is not available. The historical information on EORI numbers is not readily accessible.
