It is expected that the UK authorities will see an increase in licence applications in the upcoming months. 1 JANUARY 2021 The Brazilian authorities have extended the current restrictions on entry into Brazil until October 24, 2020 while traveling by land (except for transit) and by sea. However, the new COVID-19 regulation allows entry by air for foreigners with a valid Brazilian visa if they can prove that they have a valid health insurance.

The document (Practical Compliance Guideline - PCG 2020/3) can be downloaded from the Australian tax authority's website and is updated regularly. The current guideline has now been extended until 31 December 2020 and allows employees to use a simplified method to claim their additional running expenses.
