Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018
Summary
This Act sets up the legal framework for how the UK taxes goods that cross its borders. It gives the government power to decide customs duties and tax rules for imports and exports, which became more important after the UK left the European Union.

A vote to oppose means
- —Critics worry the Act could make trading with other countries more complicated and costly for UK businesses. Some are concerned it might lead to higher prices for consumers and create extra paperwork for companies importing or exporting goods.
