<p>The UK government will impose a 50% hike to air passenger duty (APD) taxes for most business aircraft charter flights beginning April 1, 2026, according to <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-10-31/uk-plans-50-tax-hike-business-jet-charter-passengers">plans</a> in the country’s new annual budget statement. The government also launched a proposal on how the duty applies to what it categorizes as private jets. The consultation will consider whether the private aircraft APD, first introduced in April 2013, might be extended to models not now within the scope of the charges. Currently, duties apply to aircraft with a mtow of more than 44,000 pounds with 18 or fewer passenger seats. Comments on the proposal are due by Jan. 22, 2025.</p>
