Operators will then be required to purchase allowances to cover their emissions fully.

<\/p>

The UK ETS Authority also announced that the overall number of allowances sold under the Emissions Trading Scheme will fall to be on a trajectory consistent with Net Zero. This takes the decline of free allocation to the aviation sector into account. That means that overall, no additional revenue will be raised from removing free allocations for airlines.<\/p>

<\/p>

Revenue from the sale of allowances is used to support the Government\u2019s wider priorities, including net zero policies.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4850", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gareth Davies"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Grantham and Stamford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Gareth Davies"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-07-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-07-11T09:55:45.267Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-07-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "EU Emissions Trading Scheme: Aviation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he plans to use funds raised from the removal of Emissions Trading Scheme free allocations for airlines to support the aviation industry to decarbonise.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3960", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Henry Smith"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Crawley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Henry Smith"} ], "uin" : "192513"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1650480", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1650480/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government engaged with varied stakeholders and produced analysis on the cost of the VAT Retail Export Scheme (RES) before withdrawing it. Our analysis, which took increased tourist spending into account, found that introducing worldwide VAT-free shopping would come at a fiscal cost of £2 billion each year.<\/p>

<\/p>

Furthermore, the OBR\u2019s assessment of the previous VAT RES shopping scheme showed that its withdrawal would have a limited behavioural effect on decisions to visit, or spend, in the UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

Although there are no plans to re-introduce VAT RES, the Government keeps all taxes under review and welcomes representations to help inform future decisions on tax policy, as part of the tax policy making cycle and Budget process.<\/p>
