From this 2 October 2023, dealers in Scotland and Northern Ireland will also need a tax code when reapplying for a scrap metal dealer’s licence.

Members in Scotland and Northern Ireland are reminded that on 2 October a new law will come into effect, which will require scrap metal dealers in those countries looking to renew their licence to complete a tax check in order to complete their application. This law has already been applied across England and Wales.
