Brexit

The EU and UK have published the latest draft agreement on the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.  The latest draft agreement incorporates the earlier agreement reached between the UK and EU on Citizen’s Rights.

The Prime Minister and her Cabinet met today, 14 November, to discuss the withdrawal agreement offered by negotiators in Brussels. We examine the social security impact on employers with mobile employees and provide recommendations for HR, tax and mobility professionals.

With progress being made in the negotiations between the UK and the EU, and the announcement of an extraordinary EU Summit later this month we have renewed optimism that a deal will be done soon. So what an agreement in November means in practice for the remainder of the Article 50 period, the transition and beyond is now front of mind for businesses in the UK and the EU.

Commenting on the Cabinet's approval of the Brexit deal, Andrew Gray, head of Brexit at PwC, said:

At PwC, we're still clear that a deal is more likely than ‘no deal’, and that at the end of status quo transition, the UK will leave the EU with a Free Trade Agreement which builds upon the existing EU-Canada deal.

Andrew Gray explores the potential scenarios for the UK's future relationship with the EU to help you plan for Brexit.

With the future of customs arrangements between the UK and the EU so hotly debated both in the UK Parliament and with the European Commission, many businesses are feeling uncertain about how they can progress with their plans and preparations for future proofing their cross-border supply chain. However, as the potential scenarios and the common impacts between them become clearer, more and more businesses across the Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences sector are starting to examine, test and adapt their supply chains.

The UK's decision to leave the EU has, and will continue to have, implications for pensions. As the impact of Brexit unfolds, we believe the focus for pension scheme sponsors and trustees should be on good governance and vigilance.
