Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of air passenger duty on passenger numbers; and whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of adjusting the level of such duty.

The Government publishes tax information and impact notes (TIINs) for tax policy changes which detail the impact of the policy. The TIIN for the 2023/24 APD rates can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/air-passenger-duty-banding-reforms-with-effect-from-april-2023/air-passenger-duty-apd-banding-reforms-and-rates-from-1-april-2023-to-31-march-2024

As with all taxes, the Government keeps APD under review and any changes are announced by the Chancellor at fiscal events.
