Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what is the current revenue to the Exchequer of VAT from pilot training; and what would the estimated net cost to the Exchequer be of removing VAT from pilot training.

HMRC does not hold information on the VAT revenue from pilot training.

This is because businesses are not required to provide a breakdown by product or service on their VAT returns, as this would impose an excessive administrative burden.

I refer the Honourable Member to my answer of 21 January 2026 (UIN 105280) stating that the Government has no plans to change policy in this area.
