Brexit and the design industry – what you need to know and prepare for | DBA member exclusive webinar with Moore Kingston Smith LLP
With the EU-UK post-Brexit trade negotiations progressing, the clock is ticking down to the 31 December deadline – is your business ready? Understandably, focus this year has been on the current business landscape surrounding the pandemic, but now is the time to turn your attention to what post-Brexit trade with the EU will mean for the design industry and the services you provide to overseas clients.
Save yourself hours of trawling through the government guidelines and bring your questions to Moore Kingston Smith’s Brexit Impact Specialist, Paul Samrah and Tax Director, Geraint Lewis at a DBA member exclusive hour-long webinar on Thursday 3 December at 10.30am. You’ll be able to pose your burning questions around Brexit and get answers to what it will mean for your business. We’ll help you to understand where you need to focus your attention to make sure your business is prepared.
We’re going to discuss:
- Contracts – what needs to change in your terms & conditions?
- Employment – what’s the process for hiring someone from outside the UK? What if you use freelancers from EU countries?
- Movement of staff – what UK staff can and cannot do in terms of travel in the EU.
- Movement of goods – how will mock-ups, prototypes and samples be dealt with under the new regulations? How easily can you send these to European clients?
- Intellectual Property – what changes might impact agencies, and what might be the impact on your clients? How can you offer sound advice to those who see you as their brand guardian?
- Tax on your invoices – what happens with VAT? Will there be other tax implications with individual countries, or will it be the same across the whole EU?
- Tax on your purchases – What happens with purchases of items like Adobe Creative Cloud? Based in Dublin the vat can currently be reversed – will this continue?
You’ll leave armed and ready to prepare for 2021 and make the changes that matter to your design business.
