Brexit - Lost Business

[niche]

Just had this from a customer, just about sums it up!!


"Good evening,

I've been a happy customer so far but complications experienced with imports to France from the UK lead me to now unsubscribe as customs duty heavily reduce the competitivity of British exporters.

Please let me know if you open a subsidiary in the EU.

Best wishes."

According to the Brexiteers, that's all the fault of the evil EU "punishing" us for wanting "independence".

It's a shame that so many people have no idea the damage brexit has done and continues to do to small businesses and the economy as a whole.

Yes Brexit is, unsurprisingly, a diaster. There are solutions like Taxamo that I think would really help, but awaiting Bluepark to sort out an integration for that

Has anyone started using Taxamo yet?

[railes]

Taxamo would be a good solution for us with only a few orders a week to Europe and nearly all under 150 euros. I've spoken to Taxamo who sent me the integration specs. I don't know how hard they would be to make work with Bluepark but I would be interested in co-sponsoring the integration development if that was something that could be done. Perhaps if there was several of us and we all paid for some development time we could get the integration built.

Let me know if you would be interested and if I get a few responses I'll approach Bluepark and see what they say.

Hi, I was also interested in Taxamo, but I've just spoke to James and they have no furure plans to integrate. so I don't know if there is somebody else that has managed to sort this

and the economy as a whole.

Whilst I sympathise with any individual business this is just not true a s a general statement. Only last week they announced that the UK economy was no bigger than pre-covid

And you really believe that do you?

Brexit casued a 4% drop in GDP. I believe that is double what covid caused.

Those who voted to leave really don't have a choice.
