Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the total cost to firms in Northern Ireland of applying for reimbursement from the Duty Reimbursement Scheme.
No assessment has been made of the total cost to businesses in Northern Ireland of applying for reimbursement from the Duty Reimbursement Scheme.
The Duty Reimbursement Scheme allows traders to reclaim or remit full EU applicable duties on goods entering Northern Ireland. There is no limit on the number of claims that can be made. HMRC has published extensive guidance on the scheme and will continue to support businesses to use it effectively.
