Background
£200,0001 per annum was allocated to JHA in the Government Plan 2020-2023 to provide extra resources to administer the reduction of the GST de minimis waiver, originally due to be introduced in July 2020 but now implemented from 1st October 2020. JHA and CLS have agreed that part of the funding is to be transferred to CLS to enable the recruitment of two permanent and one fixed term contract Customer Service Advisors as much of the additional work arising out of the reduction of the de minimis waiver will be managing customer interaction and enquiries. Customs and Immigration staff who were previously based at CLS are being returned to their substantive roles within JHA.
The Minister approved the following transfers from the Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) Head of Expenditure to the Customer and Local Services (CLS) Head of Expenditure:
• £7,100 non-recurring in 2021
• £85,100 recurring from 2021 onwards
• 2 FTE from 2021 onwards.
1 The allocation has now been reduced by £50,00 to £150,000 as part of the Rebalancing Programme.
