This letter was supported by emails and social media to reach a wider group of businesses.</p><p>Alongside this HMRC are continuing to engage with key stakeholders (including Business Representative Bodies and Trade Associations) to seek their input and amplify HMRC’s messaging to ensure it is wide reaching and readily available to those who need to take action. This includes monthly meetings with the top 35 organisations who represent over 500,000 businesses in the UK.</p><p>HMRC will continue to provide clear guidance on the actions businesses will need to take, and HMRC will engage with them throughout the transition period to support their readiness to comply with these new requirements.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 24/02/2020 14:15:53 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
