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 aviation fuel were subject to the same rate of tax as fuel for motor vehicles.

Lord O’Neill of Gatley

In accordance with its bilateral Air Service Agreements, the 1944 Chicago Convention and EU law, the UK does not tax aviation fuel. Consequently, no such assessments have been made.
