That's literally an arbitrary deadline. It's not done for anyone's benefit. Those are just numbers plucked out the air.

You're also ignoring the option to extend the transition period. It could easily have been drawn up into and agreement to have an interim period (say 3 months) to allow businesses to prepare, familiarise themselves with paperwork, processes etc.

You can't in some thread seriously argue that businesses should be given every chance to survive by easing lockdown and then on the other that they should, at short notice, be given additional burdens after numerous, contradictory, positions by Government policies in the preceding four years.
