UK Intrastat EU – Northern Ireland 2024 update

2024 no change to EU – Northern Ireland Intrastat thresholds

The UK’s HMRC has confirmed that there will be no change to the EU – Northern Ireland (NI) Intrastat reporting threshold. The 2023 current arrivals and dispatches exemption, and delivery terms thresholds will be carried over for reporting movements of goods between Northern Ireland (NI) and the EU on an Intrastat declaration.

The EU- NI Intrastat annual reporting thresholds for 2024 will be:

  • £500,000 for arrivals
  • £250,000 for dispatches

The delivery terms threshold remains at £24 million

Jan 2022: Intrastat reporting of EU goods movements ended January 2022 for UK as part of Brexit; Northern Ireland – EU movements obligation remain

Following the UK leaving the EU VAT regime and Customs Union on 1 January 2021, the UK had continued to require VAT registered businesses to complete complete Intrastat reporting. This is subject to them exceeding Intrastat thresholds.

This requirement ended from 1 January 2022.  Movements between UK and EU are treated as imports / exports. At the same time, the UK customs checks and full declarations were imposed.

Northern Ireland – EU Intrastat remains with new reporting thresholds

The exception is for movements of goods between Northern Ireland and the EU. Northern Ireland (NI) has taken-up dual position with the UK and EU VAT and customs union. This was part of the Brexit agreement settled in 2019.

The 2022 reporting thresholds for Intrastat on NI-EU trade are:

  • £500,000 for arrivals (NI imports from EU)
  • £250,000 for dispatches (NI exports to EU)

2022 EU Intrastat changes

When completing NI-EU Intrastat declarations, the 2022 additional informational requirements introduced will apply. This covers:

  1. VAT number of customer/recipient of goods in a dispatch; and
  2. Two-digit country of origin for intrastat
