answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2021 answer text <p>Businesses using transit regularly (more than three times a year) need to apply to HMRC for authorisation to use a Customs Comprehensive Guarantee (CCG). Most businesses authorised by HMRC to use a CCG for transit will need to provide a guarantee undertaking from an approved financial institution.</p><p>Most businesses applying for CCG authorisation are currently being approved by HMRC within 30 days. However, businesses need to allow additional time to obtain a guarantee from a financial institution and return this to HMRC. HMRC and HMT have been engaging regularly with banks about the provision of guarantees for transit users. Banks have not reported any problems or delays with the issuance of transit guarantees.</p><p>HMRC are monitoring the use of guarantees by all transit users in the UK and will be contacting any traders who are identified as having insufficient guarantees directly to support them in either managing or increasing their transit guarantee. CCG holders who wish to increase the value of their guarantee should request this by contacting the CCG Team at HMRC: <a href="mailto:customs-comprehensive-guarantee-team.ccto@hmrc.gov.uk" target="_blank">customs-comprehensive-guarantee-team.ccto@hmrc.gov.uk</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/01/2021 17:06:02 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2020 answer text <p>HMRC are streamlining a number of their authorisation processes to make it quicker and easier for traders to use. New rules are being introduced to make it easier to access a Duty Deferment Account (DDA) at the end of the transition period. This means most businesses will be able to open DDAs without needing to provide a guarantee, unless they have a history of non-compliance or insolvency. Further detail on how these new rules will operate in practice will be provided in updated guidance in due course.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/07/2020 13:53:49 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
