Windsor Framework 2025: are you up to date with the latest changes?

Event information

Since the UK departed from the European Union, moving goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland has presented challenges and complexities. Whilst an agreement in principle was reached, implementing changes is occurring gradually over time.

Joining Ed Saltmarsh from ICAEW's Tax Faculty is Niamh O'Connor, Customs Advisor from Strong and Heard. Niamh will share an overview of the new trading arrangements that were postponed to May 2025 and their potential impact on businesses involved in goods transportation from the UK to Northern Ireland.

Expect to hear about:

• The latest on differentiating between at-risk and not at-risk goods, including guidance on duty payment obligations;
• the UK carrier scheme;
• the Northern Ireland Retail Movement Scheme;
• Information on qualifying Northern Ireland goods and the process for moving them from Northern Ireland to Great Britain; and
• XI EORI Numbers (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) what they are, and when they are required.

Sign up to ensure your business, or that of your clients, remains up to date and compliant.
