This Practice Note provides practical guidance on the United Kingdom Internal Market Act. The guidance covers the principles governing access to all parts of the UK market for goods, services and professional qualifications in the UK’s internal market. It also covers the monitoring of the UK internal market as well as trading with Northern Ireland, financial assistance and subsidy control.

Introduction

The ‘market access commitment’ is embodied in the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020 (UKIMA 2020). Its objective is to ensure that the UK maintains a coherent internal market by enshrining the principles of mutual recognition and non-discrimination in law.

The ‘market access commitment’ covers goods, services and professional qualifications, as they have been codified in the UKIMA 2020 in the form of the market access principles of mutual recognition and non-discrimination
