We recognise how important it is for UK businesses to continue to be able to send their employees to the EU, for example for business meetings or fulfilling a contract. The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement includes reciprocal arrangements for business visitors between the UK and the EU, covering: short-term business visitors; travel for establishment purposes; intra-company transferees; contractual service suppliers and self-employed professionals. EU Member States may require a visa and/or work permit for some of these activities, and this will vary by country. UK nationals should check the entry requirements and rules of the country they intend to travel to well ahead of time, in case they need to apply for a visa, work permit or provide other documentation. They should also check that their passport has at least six months validity for the duration of their stay.<\/p>
The Government has published information about entry requirements, including for companies that wish to relocate their employees to Europe for work purposes, covering all EU Member States and the EFTA countries. This guidance can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/travelling-to-the-eu-switzerland-norway-iceland-or-liechtenstein-for-work.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4366", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Cleverly"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Braintree"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "James Cleverly"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-03-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-03-11T12:50:41.307Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-03-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Overseas Workers: EU Countries"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she has plans to make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing measures to assist companies that wish to relocate their employees to Europe for work purposes.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4591", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sarah Olney"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Richmond Park"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sarah Olney"} ], "uin" : "116007"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1419028", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1419028/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Support is available for tax credits claimants who are experiencing difficulty with their repayments. HMRC can reduce the rate of repayment on a case-by-case basis where claimants are in financial hardship. HMRC also work to identify vulnerable customers and refer them to the Extra Support Team for assistance, with more information available here<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> Where claimants with overpayments have migrated to Universal Credit, they can similarly contact DWP to discuss a reduction in their rate of repayment and may benefit from the cap on debt deductions which the government reduced to 25 per cent of the standard allowance in April 2021. Work coaches can also signpost other financial support.<\/p> <\/p> Furthermore, the Government is providing significant financial support \u2013 up to £350 \u2013 to the majority of households which will cover more than half of the forecast £700 rise in energy bills for the average household. This support \u2013 worth £9.1bn in 2022-23 \u2013 is on top of the existing £12 billion support the government is providing for the cost of living this financial year and next. This includes reducing the Universal Credit taper rate, raising the National Living Wage, freezing alcohol and fuel duties and providing targeted help with energy bills.<\/p>"}

HMRC is not the competent authority for VAT (or Customs and Excise) within the EU so cannot advise traders on EU Member State VAT rules.<\/p> <\/p> However, as part of our support offer to businesses the Department for International Trade has set up an Export Support Service (ESS). Whilst the ESS cannot provide advice or guidance on EU Member State VAT rules, it can signpost UK businesses to published EU VAT guidance so that UK businesses can understand how and when VAT may be charged when goods are imported into EU Member States. Further information on the ESS can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/ask-export-support-team<\/a>.<\/p>"}
