	question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate HMRC has made of the level of non-compliance at the UK border in a No Deal scenario with customs declarations and observance of tariffs; and if he will place that estimate in the Library.

	question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps the Government is taking to (a) stop goods subject to tariffs flowing freely from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland and (b) stop those goods being smuggled into the rest of the UK in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2019 answer text <p>The UK Government’s priority in relation to Northern Ireland is meeting its commitment to avoid a hard border and ensure no new physical infrastructure or related checks and controls. Therefore, under the temporary approach to the NI border announced by the Government in the event of no deal, consignments from Ireland will not be subject to a tariff when entering Northern Ireland. This approach reflects the unique circumstances of the land border and the Government’s commitment to preserving the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement in full.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC will support businesses who are moving goods across the border legitimately, including businesses that continue to use the routes they use today. For goods entering Northern Ireland from Ireland, including where the ultimate destination is Great Britain, provided traders choose routes for commercial reasons not connected with an avoidance purpose, tariffs will not be due and tariff rate quotas will not apply.</p><p> </p><p>However, if traders divert goods through Ireland and Northern Ireland with the main purpose of avoiding customs duty HMRC will have the power to require them to pay the UK’s tariff, wherever the goods are from. HMRC will continue to enforce compliance on an intelligence-led basis to ensure trade is consistent with the requirements set out in legislation.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC remains committed to promoting compliance and tackling avoidance and evasion and would take steps to ensure that this temporary arrangement is not abused.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 22/03/2019 14:09:30 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>UK traders that only trade with the EU will need an EORI number in the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal. HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) estimated that in 2017 there were 144,000 VAT-registered traders that only traded with the EU. A separate estimate indicates there are around 100,000 non VAT-registered traders that trade only with the EU. Latest HMRC validated data show that in the three months to 15 March, there were more than 59,000 registrations for an EORI number.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recently announced temporary simplified procedures to make importing and exporting easier. To register for these simplifications, traders will need a UK EORI number. Therefore, completing the application is a good first step for traders, and ensures that our records are correct.</p><p> </p><p>Registering for an EORI number is free and very quick – it currently takes around 10 minutes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 02/04/2019 13:26:34 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
