As with most taxes, the revenue raised from Air Passenger Duty goes towards the Consolidated Fund, which is used to finance public services and the Government’s priorities, including tackling climate change.

The government takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously and uses a range of levers at its disposal, including spending, taxation and regulatory policy, to meet its climate and environmental objectives.
