Welcome
Welcome to the Tax Centre of Excellence (CoE) webpage. It is a central resource for departmental tax advice and services available to government departments. The CoE is hosted by the Ministry of Justice that is leading this alongside the Department for Work and Pensions, Department of Health and Ministry of Defence. The services offered by the CoE are set out in the Service Catalogue.
Customs and Duty
The MOD Tax Team has considerable experience in customs & duty matters and are able to provide advice on the import and export of goods to and from the UK (EU) and are currently working with HMRC and Industry on understanding the impact leaving the EU will have on the movement goods post Brexit. If you have any customs or duty related questions – as offered in our ‘service catalogue’ – please forward these on the ‘Service Request’ form directly to MOD Tax Team for action on the ‘Contact Us’ email address below.
