Can anyone tell me out of interest how much the APD (tax) brings in to the Gov. coffers last year
https://www.uktradeinfo.com/Statisti...ns/APD0512.xls

On another point, what doe's the Gov do with the tax it generates, does it go back into aviation
The doubling of the tax five years ago (increasing annual receipts by a billion) coincided with the announcement of the Trident missile replacement programme. "Airline passengers fund weapons of mass destruction"
