    US INVESTORS ARE CONFIDENT IN THE UK, BUT CONCERNS OVER FUTURE UK-EU RELATIONS PERSIST

    A new survey published today by BritishAmerican Business and Bain & Company finds that business confidence is high for US companies in the UK, but future confidence may largely depend on the UK’s relationship with the EU.

    LONDON – July,12, 2021 – Today, BritishAmerican Business and Bain & Company launched the inaugural Transatlantic Confidence Index. The Index measures the confidence of US companies active in the UK, including their views on investing in UK operations over the next two to three years and in the overall health of the UK’s relationship with both the US and the EU.

    BritishAmerican Business and Bain & Company surveyed 68 large cap American companies representing a combined 3,500 years of business experience and employing more than 275,000 individuals across every region of the UK.

    BAB Statement on Reports of Global Tax Plan to Allow UK to De-Apply Digital Services Tax

    9 July 2021
    Contact: Dominic Parker, Communications & Media Manager dparker@babinc.org | 020 7290 9882 | +44 7500 115352

    London/New York – In response to today’s report that G20 finance ministers are preparing to approve a global tax plan that would allow for the UK to de-apply the Digital Services Tax (DST), BAB’s Director for Policy & Trade, Emanuel Adam, said:

    “If what the reporting suggests is true, we would very much welcome that. Since the UK first discussed the introduction of a Digital Services Tax, BAB has argued that the issue would be best addressed through a multilateral solution that guarantees a high level of consistency across markets (see BAB’s White Paper here).

    It would be timely to have a solution to be found at this time given the threat of U.S. punitive tariffs on UK products, whose introduction is currently paused. As we always said and continue to say, punitive tariffs don’t make good trade policy. Agreements between governments to solve a global issue does.”

    BAB Statement on Quarantine-Free Travel to the UK for Fully Vaccinated Travellers from Amber List Countries

    8 July 2021
    Contact: Dominic Parker, Communications & Media Manager dparker@babinc.org | 020 7290 9882 | +44 7500 115352

    London/New York – In response to the news that fully vaccinated passengers returning from amber list countries to the UK won’t have to quarantine after 19 July, BritishAmerican Business published the following statement:

    “This is a step in the right direction and we welcome the UK Government’s decision to remove quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated residents returning to the UK from amber list countries.

    “We do note, however, that U.S. residents, whether they are citizens or British residents who were vaccinated in the U.S., would not be able to take advantage of the change from the 19th of July. This once again highlights the need for our travel-related certificates to be mutually recognised and interoperable.

    “We strongly support the Government’s stated ambition to extend the approach to all vaccinated passengers from the U.S. later this summer. We will continue to work with both the U.S. and UK Governments to find ways to safely reopen our travel corridor which currently remains effectively closed for business on both sides.”
