Tax on private jets

EDM (Early Day Motion) 65: tabled on 24 July 2024

Tabled in the 2024-25 session.

This motion has been signed by 28 Members. It has not yet had any amendments submitted.

Motion text

That this House is concerned that private jets release 10 times more carbon per passenger than commercial flights, pay no VAT or fuel duty and most passengers pay the same low rate of air passenger duty as ordinary commercial flyers; recognises that the UK has more private flights and more pollution from private jets than any other country in Europe; and calls on the Government to tackle this issue by levying VAT, tax fuel and increase air passenger duty on private jets which would raise £700m a year.
