If the Air Passenger Duty (APD) is increased, the price of flights will go up and holidays will be more expensive
As the autumn budget announcement looms, Brits are rushing to book holidays in a bid to avoid the expected increase in Air Passenger Duty . The next 48 hours will see travellers scrambling to dodge the tax hike on flights departing from the UK. The budget is set to be unveiled on Wednesday, and research by package holiday specialists On the Beach suggests that over a third of Brits plan to secure their holidays on Monday and Tuesday to sidestep the potential rise in flight taxes.
' APD is a levy imposed by HMRC on passengers flying from UK airports, with rates varying based on distance and class of travel. Andy Woods from Tax Natives pointed out that the UK already imposes one of the highest APD rates worldwide, significantly contributing to the escalating cost of air travel.
