Change from 1 November 2008 Currently carriers who offer a single class level of service to passengers qualify for the lower rate of APD . The current definition is to be amended in relation to any carriage of passenger which begins on or after 1 November 2008 so that single class flights offering a business class service will attract the standard rate of APD . The effect? This will result in an increase of £10 for all flights within EEA destinations and certain other European countries and for flights to other destinations the increase will be £40. Change from 1 November 2009 A new aviation duty will replace air passenger duty in November 2009. Did you know? That the Government expect to raise almost £240,000 an hour from air passenger duty. The total this year is £2.1 billion. |
