Aviation: Taxation
(asked on 8th February 2016) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of how much revenue would be raised if all air fares for aircraft departing from UK airports were subject to a tax at 20 per cent.
This question was answered on 22nd February 2016
Such a form of taxation would be in breach of the UK’s obligations under its bilateral Air Service Agreements, the 1944 Chicago Convention and EU law. Consequently, no such assessment has been made.
