FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A Fair Tax on Flying group, which represents more than 30 airlines, airports, tour operators and trade associations is leading the email campaign and calling on the government to restructure the aviation tax system to make it fairer.
British companies are paying the highest Air Passenger Duty (APD) of any nation in the world following repeated rises including an right percent increase in April.
A Fair Tax on Flying is calling on MPs to support a motion which expresses concerns about the impact of APD “on ordinary families and their ability to fly.”
The group said the government has increased the tax by 2600 percent since it was introduced in 1994 that is bringing the Treasury £2.2 billion.
The group added the government, which has said the tax should raise another £1.4 billion by 2015, should halt any further rises in APD.
The motion is already backed by 44 MPs including Tory MP Graham Brady who is calling on the Treasury to reconsider APD levels.
“The UK already has the highest air passenger taxes anywhere in the world and this is harming our competitiveness as a nation as well as adding unreasonably to the cost of living for millions of people,” Brady said.
“I hope that the Treasury will be persuaded to look again at the impact of this damaging tax,” he added.
The Airport Operators Association chief executive Darren Caplan also described the aviation taxing system as “one of the most despised stealth taxes” in Britain.
A Fair Tax on Flying, whose members include British Airways, Heathrow operator BAA and Virgin Atlantic, aims to win the support of 100,000 people by the end of the summer.
