Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government how much duty has been returned to firms based in Northern Ireland as a result of the Duty Reimbursement Scheme.

Information on duty reimbursed to firms specifically based in Northern Ireland under the scheme is not held by HMRC.

The Duty Reimbursement Scheme has been operational since 2023, allowing businesses who move goods into Northern Ireland to reclaim or remit duty provided that the goods can be shown not to have subsequently entered the EU. HMRC has published extensive guidance and will continue to support businesses to use the scheme effectively, as well as other schemes like the Customs Duty Waiver Scheme.
