Millions of families could face higher holiday costs due to a tax hike in Rachel Reeves’s upcoming Budget. Along with plans to extend the freeze on income tax thresholds, the Chancellor is expected to raise Air Passenger Duty (APD), a tax on airfares known as the “holiday tax.”
Treasury officials are reviewing data from the Department for Transport to assess how much the travel industry can handle such increases. Above-inflation hikes in APD would raise ticket prices, potentially adding hundreds of millions to the cost of holidays for travelers.

Global Britain 🇬🇧. Open for business.
TalkTV making shyte up now. Nobody calls APD 'holiday tax' other than TalkTV. Airlines pay it – not passengers.
Is that the Rwanda scheme that didn't relocate a single asylum-seeker – but cost millions?
Starmer and his crew couldn't plug a sink!!!!
The plan is to make this place so horrible to live that the illegal immigrants won't want to come here
Perhaps the intention is to force people into cutting back on their holidays so the money stays in the Banks so that Liebour can raid money further, time we all started putting our money as it were under the Mattress again!!!🤔😏😉
Remember steam trains that had steam pipes on the tracks to clear the leaf traction problem?
Will she bring back the 10% tax in the bookies ?

of course MP'S travel on expenses so no issue for them
Simon should be eating huge amounts of humble pie in around a year or so but like politicians he will not mention his errors.
It's a flippin storm, but as with everything, """ be afraid, be very afraid """" keep the public in fear. It's a storm
As for the rest , it's duty duty tax tax all major parties should go, vote reform
Why are people getting ill after visiting airports and flying
How about… stopping giveaways to migrants, long term unemployed and the q9s of billions to other countries. Start REDUCING TAX crazy idea right..
Is it closing a loophole when they are robbing you more ….?
Labour couldn't put a plug in a sink hole, absolute disgrace to humanity
Slippery rails, why did we never hear of these things in the 90s,early 2000s, when it's been a lot worse, I'm just outside Glasgow, it's raining ☔ that's it
Tax, Tax, and Tax again. Those who are rich and able enough will flee the UK. Those who cannot will just say F**k it and become economically inactive as it won't be worth working.
So take a flight to Florida then fly really long haul it a lot cheaper
We need to be taxed on our holidays to pay for the boat people to come to Britain for there endless holiday.
Health watches for monitoring blood pressure and diabetes. What about some for monitoring pensioners body temperature?
Motorists and holidaymakers on planes are a very easy tax target .
We still haven't had a detailed breakdown of the 22 Billion shortfall after 3 months .
Dinghy tourists are up by about 8%
You've got what u voted for, only 52% bothered to vote, pathetic .
Funny how they tax the British people for travelling, yet they pay and accommodate illegal immigrants coming into the country at a rate Hitler would have been extatic about
Taxes on plane flights, 'congestion' charges on roads, 15min cities, removal of £2 bus fares, whacking rises by rail to pay for massive inflated pay rises to train drivers. The idea seems to be to contain everyone to their neighbourhood, so MPs & their special friends can enjoy uncrowded, pleb free travel.
actually – air travel is one of hte biggest reasons for CO2 emissions isn't it? Therefore, if we want to cut CO2 (not that the likes of China or India are even bothering to try and we only produce a small portion of what they do!), we should ALL be limiting our flying. But we dont, so yes, hike this tax, and give back the money to pensioners so they can heat their homes and eat, not one or the other.
I think the elets and the politicians should pay an extra 10 percent tax as well as all the big corporations ,that will get you enough extra cash ya so desperately need. The Average people already pay enough tax.
Has Simon got the UK franchise for on talking about travel ?
Part of agenda 2030 is to close many of the airports and massively reduce air travel for the general population, adding taxes, biometrics, ID cards etc. will have this effect, will it happen by 2030? probably not but after the recent UN summit they are going to try and ramp this stuff up.
Starmer you have done nothing about the boats all Rachel reeves as done is stop us pensioners winter fuel payment. Get them out now fed up of hearing bout 22 billion black hole oh and fed up of reeves Starmer and co🤬off.
we already pay 100% tax on flights…just look at your ticket… the tax was more than the basic flight. More ways to restrict our ability to travel by pricing us out
We don't fly any more as my disabled husband finds it too difficult so at least this one won't get us.
Another leftie.
Is that not just a form of vat?
The Met office is a totally useless organisation should be closed
