As Tamsin says VAT and Duties may be payable on non UK orders in the future. I would think it would impact shows like Crisis in Antwerp. How would UK traders attend? If you are a foreign gamer buy all you want from UK companies if you feel you are getting a bargain. The Pound will soon rise again, things will sort themselves out. I was a leave voter and being a realist was expecting the short term fallout. I think a few countries will follow our lead reading the foreign press today. The EEC using the old term was originally about trade, the EU is now all about being a Federalist State. <br /><br />Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791963346486185268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395605960376820637.post-91510185940869064742016-06-24T14:45:29.011-05:002016-06-24T14:45:29.011-05:00Forgot to say - I'll be replying to your email...Forgot to say - I'll be replying to your email about the UK trip later on this evening :)TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395605960376820637.post-57169662307180994152016-06-24T14:38:56.057-05:002016-06-24T14:38:56.057-05:00We are living in interesting times.
As a "re...We are living in interesting times.<br /><br />As a "remain" voter I am obviously disappointed with the outcome, but that's democracy for you. Now we just have to hope that our leaders make a good job of negotiating our exit from the EU and that any fallout from the process isn't too painful.<br /><br />I've got no idea how this will affect British manufacturers. Largely it will depend on the outcome of the exit negotiations - will we remain part of the European Economic Area (paying in, abiding by the economic & trade rules, allowing free movement, no tariffs/duties/VAT to be paid by EU customers, but no vote on EU laws we'll have to abide by) or a complete break where EU customers would have to pay VAT and duties on goods imported from the UK?<br /><br />I do have a number of socio-political concerns about the future, but this is not the place to discuss those :)<br /><br />TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.com
