Any new tax relief will also impose additional pressure on the public finances, to which excise duty makes a significant contribution.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2022 answer text <p>Following a consultation, the Government announced on 11 September 2020 that duty-free sales on departure would be extended to EU-bound passengers for the first time in over 20 years from 1 January 2021. This is a significant boost to all airports and international rail terminals in England, Scotland and Wales, including Bournemouth, and smaller regional airports and rail hubs, which have not been able to offer duty-free to the EU before.</p><p> </p><p>The Government would need to consider the cost of introducing a duty-free on arrival scheme. Any new tax relief will impose additional pressure on the public finances, to which excise duty makes a significant contribution. Any loss in tax revenue would have to be balanced by a reduction in public spending, increased borrowing or increased taxation elsewhere.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 18/11/2022 13:35:21 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge
