Air Passenger Duty

As an amendment to motion S4M-10185 in the name of Keith Brown (Air Passenger Duty), leave out from first "notes" to end and insert "considers that the aviation industry does not pay its fair share of tax; notes that European airlines expect to make profits of over £1.5 billion pounds in 2014 but will pay no tax at all on aviation fuel and benefit from significant VAT reductions in the UK; considers that the cost of air passenger duty is a small fraction of these tax breaks enjoyed by the industry, and believes that the aviation industry is a highly profitable industry that is failing to pay for the pollution that it creates and should be taxed in line with its environmental impact."
