Aviation
For the first time in 20 years, taxes on flyers will fall. The Chancellor's surprise in the Autumn Statement early in December was to abolish Air Passenger Duty (APD) for children. Starting in May 2015 – just a week before the general election – under-12s will be exempt from APD so long as they are travelling in economy. And beginning a year after that, under-16s will be exempt in all classes of travel. This is in addition to previously announced changes, which from April will scrap the top two bands of APD and revert to a single long-haul rate of £71, or £142 in higher classes of travel.
