25 May 2021: Revision announcement
HMRC has made revisions to its historic tax receipts data (financial years between 2015 to 2016 and 2019 to 2020) which will have an impact on Air Passenger Duty statistics. The most recent publication will be revised to include these revisions by the end of June 2021.
The latest receipts data is available in the 25 May 2021 HMRC tax receipts and National Insurance contributions for the UK publication. More information on the receipts revisions can be found in the statistics announcement dated 25 May 2021.
The Air Passenger Duty National Statistics presents statistics from the different Air Passenger Duty (APD) rates administered by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
The APD Bulletin is updated twice a year and includes statistics and analysis on APD receipts up to the latest full month before its release and airline passenger numbers one month behind that of duty receipts in the UK.
As a result of the recent consultation on the reduction and consolidation of HMRC statistics publications, the APD bulletin will be published annually from June 2022.
Archive versions of the APD Bulletin published on GOV.UK after October 2019 are no longer hosted on GOV.UK and are instead available via the UK Government Web Archive, from the National Archives.
Archive versions of the APD Bulletin published between 2008 and October 2019 are found on the UK Trade Info website.
