Checklist for residents and businesses as transition period nears end

Thu, 05 Nov 2020

It is almost 60 days until the Brexit transition periods comes to an end. Residents and businesses are urged to ensure they are prepared for new rules that come into force from 1 January 2021.

Although the UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020, EU law has continued to apply to the United Kingdom, and to an extent to the Isle of Man, during what has been known as the transition period. That period will end on 31 December 2021.

For most people no immediate action is needed - but those who intend to visit the EU, trade with the EU and those people who come from the EU may need to do things differently, and the time to act is now.

The Government’s website and updated interactive guide ‘Are you ready for 2021?’ together offer the latest information and advice on a broad range of topics, including travel to the EU, trading goods and important steps for EU nationals living in the Isle of Man.
