From an RYA Press Release dated 25 March 2021:
"HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have today announced a 6-month extension to the 1-year grace period previously put in place by the Government. The announcement follows concerted representations from the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and British Marine asking for a 3-year transition period. Both organisations have consistently pointed out that the 1-year period of grace effective from 1 January 2021 in respect of the three-year condition for RGR was not sufficient. They have helped HMRC officials to understand the many factors that affect the repatriation of vessels, including, global pandemic travel restrictions, the Schengen area immigration restrictions, insurance restrictions and the length of sailing season.
