EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement 2020
When the UK left the European Union (EU), the Isle of Man's limited relationship with the EU (as set out in Protocol 3 to the UK's Treaty of Accession) fell - although it has continued to have legal effect, during the transition period, which ends 31 December 2020.
After many months of negotiation, the United Kingdom and the European Union have agreed the final terms of their future trading relationship, and the Isle of Man is covered by certain parts of that Agreement. Please find here, a useful summary of the key elements of the Agreement, and importantly what it means for our Island.
New rules will take effect on 1 January 2021.
Use the links below to find out what actions that you and your business can take now to prepare for the end of the transition period and the future relationship.
Officers from the Isle of Man Government continue to work with relevant officials from across the UK Government to set out the Isle of Man's priorities and discuss the implications of the end of the transition period for the Island. This work is helping to inform the UK's position but is also essential in building contacts with the people who are involved in the negotiations on the future relationship between the UK and the EU so that they are clear about the Island's issues and priorities.
