Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed)

10:00 am

Mr. Niall Cody:

Online shopping will be challenging. Brexit is probably going to change the nature of online shopping in that the model will not make sense. There are VAT rules for goods being delivered from the United Kingdom. They will change and the goods will be treated in the same way as imports from south-east China, for example, through mail centres and all the rest.
