UK Air Passenger Duty Changes.

It was announced in the Budget presentation by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the Air Passenger Duty will be reformed effective April 2015. It means that all long distance  passengers will pay the same rate as if they were travelling to the USA (currently Band “B”). The Caribbean (Band “C”) should therefore benefit by a reduction in the rate differential which at present is £16.00 per passenger.
