Air Departure Tax (Scotland) Act 2017 Explanatory Notes

Overview

Tax rates
  • the structure of ADT is similar to the structure of APD, in that the amount of tax incurred for the carriage of a chargeable passenger on a chargeable aircraft will depend on the passenger’s final destination and class of travel;

  • the Act provides for the Scottish Ministers, by regulations, to define tax bands by reference to a passenger’s final destination and to set tax rate amounts according to the passenger’s class of travel. Detail on tax bands and tax rate amounts will be delivered at a later date in subordinate legislation (see section 17(1));
