“What we are really seeing at the moment, especially from COVID, and additionally from Brexit now, is this real pressure on the supply chain” Fiona Craul, CEO @1Sweetspot on the importance of supply chain management for Brexit and beyond #backedbyAIB
@RTEbusiness @countykil any ideas on how this can be raised with Irish govt.? The cost of duty and VAT on PPE imports are making them cost prohibitive to supply, air freight x 5 times more expensive + 6.5% duty + 23% VAT.
NEW: @RishiSunak says the UK govt is waiving tariffs and taxes on medical equipment crucial to fight against #covid19- including ventilators, testing kits and PPE from outside the EU.
Goods will no longer be subject to customs duty/import VAT. Tariff can be up 12% of price.
