No a journey starting outside the UK but via the UK is not duty payable .
Of cause you are correct in that your flight with Ryanair wozit or who ever from the UK to Dublin is paid at short haul rates not disputed , however the layover period is a catch all it’s there in black and white from several readings and it states that a layover period between flights should be 24 hours if not to be subject to the long haul duty levels for the entire journey.
Now I don’t think anyone has been proceuted its pretty hard to chase a tax liability on a flight outside of the UK isn’t it .
imho the law and regulation is really a mess or diliberately poorly written. After all it was partly introduced as green tax and it’s certianly destroyed competitive domestic air travel.
And the rates are now at extautionate levels without doubt.

Yes, but it is the airline's responsibility to remit, not the individual's. You're missing the point. The individual cannot be prosecuted as it is the airline's responsibility to report and remit APD applicable to the ticket(s) that they have sold to the customer. Please do re-read APD Notice 550 and you might get it!

Apparently Icelandair are taking over (-rescuing from near bankruptcy) WOW. With GLA being a very long established Icelandair route, and EDI being WIW/Easyjet, will there be changes?

I doubt anyone will know at this stage... the ink is not even dry. It has been suggested they will be kept as seperate entities. FI at GLA is sometimes their 3rd busiest UK route.

I can see WOW being phased out and being fully integrated with Icelandair in the medium to long run.

Icelandair have already stated in it's official press release that WOW will continue to operate as a stand alone subsidiary for the forseable future although I personally think that will change at some point.
FYI it's EDI not EDE!

No your not missing anything as your correct in your assumption but considering that this news is only just breaking I'm sure that the booking engine will still reflect the original WOW schedules.
