Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb on 2016-02-08.

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.

Lord O’Neill of Gatley

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.
