Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of the introduction of a frequent flyer levy.

The government’s recent consultation on aviation tax reform sought views on the government’s initial position regarding a frequent flyer levy. Having carefully considered the responses to the consultation, the government has confirmed that it remains minded to retain Air Passenger Duty as the principal tax on the aviation sector, noting in particular continuing concerns around the possible administrative complexity and data processing, handling and privacy of a frequent flyer levy.
