(asked on 20th July 2017) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to cut air passenger duty in Northern Ireland.
This question was answered on 6th September 2017
The Chancellor keeps all taxes under constant review, announcing changes at fiscal events. Spring Budget 2017 announced that Air Passenger Duty rates for 2019-20 will be set at Autumn Budget 2017, to provide good notice for the airline industry.
The government will commission a report into the effects of APD and VAT on tourism in Northern Ireland. Further details of this will be announced in due course.
