question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has undertaken literature reviews on the subject of vehicle excise duty.
tabling member constituency	Faversham and Mid Kent
tabling member printed	Helen Whately
uin	6354
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/10/2024 answer text <p>Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) is a tax on car ownership. The tax system encourages the uptake of cars with low carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to help meet the UK’s legally binding climate change targets. Cars first registered between 1 March 2001 and 31 March 2017 pay VED annually according to CO2 emissions. From 1 April 2017, a reformed VED system was introduced for new cars. Under the reformed VED system, zero emission models currently pay nothing on first registration, whilst the most polluting pay over £2,600. In subsequent years, most cars move to a standard rate, currently set at an annual rate of £190. However from April 2025, electric cars will begin to pay VED in the same way as petrol and diesel vehicles, whilst an incentive is maintained for electric cars at the point of purchase.</p><p> </p><p>Revenue from motoring taxes helps ensure we can continue to fund the vital public services and infrastructure that people and families across the UK expect. The Government annually reviews the rates and thresholds of taxes and reliefs to ensure that they are appropriate and reflect the current state of the economy. As with all taxes, the Government welcomes representations from the public on how the tax system can be improved.</p><p> </p><p>Following the spending audit, the Chancellor has been clear that difficult decisions lie ahead on spending, welfare and tax to fix the foundations of our economy and address the £22 billion hole the government has inherited. Decisions on how to do that will be taken at the Budget in the round.</p> answering member constituency Ealing North answering member printed James Murray grouped question UIN 6360 6361 6643 6644 question first answered 10/10/2024 11:58:34 answering member 4797 label Biography information for James Murray

tabling member printed	Helen Whately
uin	6356
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/10/2024 answer text <p>Air Passenger Duty (APD) exists to ensure that aviation makes a fair contribution to the public finances and applies to UK-departing flights.</p><p> </p><p>Reforms to APD took effect in April 2023. These included the introduction of the new domestic band for domestic flights, initially set at half the rate for short-haul international flights (except for larger private jets). The domestic band applies to all flights between airports in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and for 2024/25 is set at £7 for economy passengers.</p><p> </p><p>These reforms also introduced a new ultra long-haul band covering flights that are greater than 5,500 miles from London. This ensures that those who fly furthest, and have the greatest impact on emissions, incur the greatest duty.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps all tax policy under review. The Chancellor makes decisions on tax policy in the round at fiscal events in the context of public finances and any changes will be announced at Budget.</p> answering member constituency Ealing North answering member printed James Murray grouped question UIN 6641 6642 question first answered 10/10/2024 12:01:55 answering member 4797 label Biography information for James Murray
