The Revenue Commissioners have given businesses more time to swap over to new customs IT systems as industry warns of “carnage” in January trying to manage post-Brexit checks. In a sign that many small and medium-sized companies are not ready for new customs procedures on trade with Britain from the start of 2021, Revenue has extended, for the second time, the parallel running of new and old IT systems from next week until the end of March 2021.
