UK: Air Passenger Tax

UK: Air Passenger Tax

Air passenger duty (APD) taxes of between about $105 and $875 per passenger, depending on the length of the flight, are part of the UK’s latest proposed federal budget plan. The new rates, planned to start on April 1, 2025, apply only to corporate jets having a mtow of more than 44,000 pounds with 18 or fewer passenger seats. However, in late 2024, the UK issued a proposal for comments that would make the APD applicable to all business jets.
