Borders & Trade Programme |
HMRC |
Government Transformation and Service Delivery |
Post-Brexit, the repatriation of powers from the European Union afforded the UK a significant opportunity to transform how we operate our borders over the medium and longer term to deliver lasting economic benefits.
To prepare for the end of the Transition Period on 31 December 2020, several key changes were successfully delivered to ensure a functioning border. However, the late conclusion of the Trade and Cooperation agreement and the pandemic had significant impacts on traders' readiness for border controls and customs procedures. This resulted in the introduction of multiple easements to enable trade at the border to continue to flow.
The Programme set out critical activity HMRC needed to deliver in 2021-2022 to achieve stabilisation of border activity, understand and implement the roll-back of easements and fully operationalise a secure Border whilst establishing a stable and sustainable foundation from which to advance our medium to longer term aims. |
Green |
|
The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 21/22-Q4 is Green The main strategic objective to implement full border controls was achieved through delivery of Ending of Staged Customs Controls on 01 January 22 (excluding Safety & Security declaration requirements for imports - to be implemented in line with the timeline presented in the corresponding Government announcement). Alongside this, critical work has continued to support the Northern Ireland Protocol requirements and ongoing negotiations with the European Union. The Programme also successfully delivered the building blocks by ensuring HMRC has a stable operating model upon which to build the future strategic customs platform by supporting the stabilisation and resilience of the IT platform and delivery of an effective, sustainable and affordable operating model.
HMRC restructured to effectively deliver the 2021 Spending Review settlement and the longer-term border strategy. The Programme has started formal closure and, as part of this, risks and issues will close or transfer to the new programme structure. |

. Spend on border IT systems due to scope and design changes as a result of policy changes. |
