Goods which were transported from the UK to the EU, and which remained located in the EU at the end of the transition period, will be eligible for RGR, subject to meeting the conditions for the relief, if they are returned to Great Britain by 30 June 2022, regardless of the date they were transported to the EU. This extends the period during which such goods can return to Great Britain under RGR by a further six months in view of the continuing COVID-19 travel restrictions in the UK and in the EU. The extension of this grace period is included in the revised RGR legislation published on 22 March 2021: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reference-documents-for-the-customs-reliefs-from-a-liability-to-import-duty-and-miscellaneous-amendments-eu-exit-regulations-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reference-documents-for-the-customs-reliefs-from-a-liability-to-import-duty-and-miscellaneous-amendments-eu-exit-regulations-2020</a>.</p><p>For RGR to apply on import VAT relief, the exporter and the importer need to be the same person.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 13/04/2021 14:35:38 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
