Of course there will. The rest of the world know what a great place to do business the UK is.
It's only the self centred rulers of the EU and a handfull of negative ninnies on here who don't realise it. |

"Hurrah - free kangaroo steaks for everyone - what else does Australia produce that we actually want?
who cares? More importantly, what do they want?  "
Who's going to make up any money the UK government will loose in import duties If tariff free deals are done? |

Such as those pesky international treaties that we signed? Should we just rip them up? |

I haven't seen anyone say that no one will trade with us. Just that it will take years for these deals to be signed and up into force. |

You really haven't been paying attention have you? You asked on the other thread what a trade deal was. I think you have a lot of homework to do it you want to catch up with the rest of the class!  |

No I'm asking if we charge import duties on Australian or Chinese or India goods at the moment then if we do a tariff free deal with those countries that will be a loss of duty to the UK government therefore somehow the UK government will have to make up that loss |

What's the EU got to do with it ..the UK government gets money when goods are imported in from outside the EU ..tariff free deals with countries outside the EU will cost the UK government money |

So you answered but you havnt got a clue how much of a loss to uk revenue it will be ..
Imports from outside the EU are treated differently. You:
•must make an import declaration to customs
•generally have to pay import duty and import VAT (plus VAT on import duty)

The EU has everything to do with it. They create trade and tariff barriers for non-EU countries to protect the Single Market from real competition. And they do it by demanding we all surrender our ability to do Trade deals. And why we have a problem with staff now (soon sorted).
Outside the EU we can agree whatever Tariffs are mutually acceptable or none at all. Under WTO rules Australia cannot be discriminated against so I assume their rates of duty are the same as every other country exporting to the EU countries. Which means they face high duty barriers which cost us when we buy goods.

But we will not be paying £330 million per year to the EU that should cover some of it. |

are you confused if we charge non EU countries import duty now any free trade deal in future will be a loss of revenue for the UK government .so somebody somewhere in the UK will be taxed more to make up the shortfall in UK government revenue .. |

What part of reducing trade and duty barriers increases trade which increases prosperity which increases GDP are you having trouble understanding?
Or is it all too much for your one track mind? |

I thought I would do some digging on what level of trade we are talking about here, the data which took a bit of tracking down but eventually found it on the website of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. It is worth noting that this is the 2013-2014 data and is in A$.
Overall the Australians import 12,434,000,000 from the UK and export 7,854,000,000 in goods and services. The UK was Australias 9th biggest export market and 7th biggest import market.
Total imports of goods into Australia from the UK 6,338,794,000 (2.5% of Australias total goods imports) which is dominated by motor vehicles and medicines (including vetinary products). Exports of goods from Australia to the UK 3,686,285,000 (1.4% of Australias total goods exports) dominated by gold, lead, alcoholic drinks, coal, pearls and gems.

The BBC isn't noted for being pro-Brexit and its report on this request from Australia was here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36818055
Scan down to the bottom.
Click on the red link 'View Comments'.
Point at 'Latest First'.
Select 'Highest Rated' from the drop down menu.
Yes its a pain. But it is worth it as you will see hundreds of people showing positivity, pride and optimism. Even from 'Remainers'.
I suspect this actually reflects the real outlook of the British people. |

Just one of the comments.. from your link..so does it reflect the outlook of the British people ?
'Richard Buxton,chief executive of OMGI described Brexit as "really bad news" and told the Guardian the vote to leave will have a "horrible" impact on the UK economy, which could "judder to a halt" and could lead to a recession' |

Well I just wasted 15 minutes looking for that post. Give us a clue where it is? And by the way it wasn't in the part to which I was referring. But care to tell us how many other posters agreed / disagreed with it? THAT is the point I was making.
To the second most popular post saying:
"The obvious answer is that the EU is a protectionist area that needs income to fund its political ambitions to become a United States of Europe."
Some 575 people agreed and 60 disagreed.
The lowest rated post was one taking the piss out of the idea and "Miserable foolish brits," (the sort of crap you come out with) and had 80 supporters. But 299 people disagreed.
I look forward to your reply. |

FOUND IT!!
It was in a link that failed to work but got it sussed. The ACTUAL post read:
"...lest we think that a semblance of balanced reporting is returning...just seen this headline...
Brexit 'will be horrible for UK economy' - fund manager
hint: http://www.bbc.com/news/business-36821574
So not an actual post as you misled us Old Son but a quote someone was actually criticising!!
Yes it was part of Project Fear dated the 17th July published by the anti-Brexit Guardian and copied by the anti-Brexit BBC..
Ever felt an idiot? |
