Brexit and your Business Survey

The UK may be exiting the EU on 29 March 2019.

With a no-deal scenario still possible firms need clear and precise answers to the many questions this would pose for their business.

The published policies on hiring EU workers, postponed accounting for import VAT and support for the UK’s continued involvement in European standards setting respond directly to our calls for clarity and forward planning. Important though these are, we need the same level of clarity across many other aspects of the business environment, especially international trade where so many basic questions remain unanswered.

We would appreciate your feedback on what stage your business is at in terms of planning, preparedness and concerns.
