On 31 December 2020 the period of transition will be completed, after which the UK will exit the Single European Market and the EU Customs Union.
Over the course of 2020, the British Government and the EU have been engaged in the UK-EU post-Brexit trade talks however, as at 22 December 2020, the parties failed as yet to reach the consensus regarding the format of the future relations and free trade after the United Kingdom exits the European Union.
The talks are continuing, and the parties, perhaps, will come to terms on the provisions of the future agreements.
The information presented in the Question-Answer form is prepared based on the questions that our customers most frequently ask given the current situation.
