Aviation: VAT
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the annual cost to the Exchequer of applying a zero rate of VAT to commercial pilot training undertaken in the UK by (a) British nationals, (b) overseas nationals and (c) all trainee commercial pilots combined.
- Answer
-
The Government has not made an estimate. I refer the Honourable Member to my answer of 23 April to the Honourable Member for Basildon and Billericay (UIN 128427), in which I stated that HMRC does not hold information on VAT revenue from pilot training, and that the Government has no plans to change policy in this area.
