@owainpj @andy9_thomas @DavidHenigUK @AntonSpisak If you are referring to the NI-ROI border then I refer you to their non existence at Gibraltar. If you are talking about GB->NI checks the fact that the HMRC computer system sucks so bad that business can't do paperwork is entirely a UK problem. Maybe UK Gov can fix that.

Check your entitlement to Govt funds and don't take no for an answer.
There is a systemic delivery problem when @hmrc computers are involved in paying out money rather than taking tax off you.
