Brexit Update
The UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020.
Following this, there is now a transition period, which is due to last until 31 December 2020.
During this period, all EU rules and regulations continue to apply to the UK, meaning that in practical terms, neither businesses nor individuals will see major changes.
The transition will allow trade agreement talks to continue; in particular negotiations for a free trade deal with the EU to ensure that UK goods are not subject to tariffs and trade barriers after 31 December 2020.
After 31 January 2020, the UK will be free to negotiate and sign new trade deals with countries that have no existing EU deals, for example USA.
