Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate has been made of the proportion of private jet flights exempt from the highest rate of Air Passenger Duty.

HMRC publishes APD receipts by band in the Air Passenger Duty Bulletin, available on GOV.UK. However, the published statistics do not break down receipts between commercial flights and private jets.

At Budget 2025, the Government announced that the scope of the higher rate of APD would be extended to cover all private jets over 5.7 tonnes from 2027. This is estimated to raise an additional £10 million a year from 2027-28.
