The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will review the VAT exemption applied to private jet travel.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

It is right that the aviation sector, including private jet travel, contributes to public finances. Air Passenger Duty is the principal tax applied to private jet travel. The Government keeps all taxes under review.
