        The UK\u2019s monetary policy framework, set out in the Bank of England Act 1998, gives operational responsibility for monetary policy to the independent Monetary Policy Committee (MPC).<\/p>

        Air Passenger Duty (APD) remains an important contributor to the public finances.<\/p>

        <\/p>

        <\/p>

        <\/p>

        However, as a key part of this government\u2019s long term economic plan, the Chancellor has taken action on APD.<\/p>

        <\/p>

        <\/p>

        <\/p>

        In 2015-16, over ninety-nine per cent of passengers, including many families, are set to see a freeze or reduction in rates.<\/p>

        <\/p>

        <\/p>

        Budget 2014 announced a freeze in the rate of APD for short-haul international and domestic flights for a fourth year running. In addition Budget 2014 reforms APD with the abolition of bands C and D from 1 April 2015. This will cut tax for passengers travelling to destinations such as Brazil, India, China, South Asia and the Caribbean.<\/p>

        <\/p>

        <\/p>

        <\/p>

        Autumn Statement 2014 also announced an APD exemption for children under 12 on economy tickets, with effect from 1 May 2015. From the following year, the Government will abolish economy ticket APD for children under 16 altogether. This will save a two child family £26 on economy short-haul flights and £142 on economy long-haul flights, plus adds to Budget 2014\u2019s adult fare savings for families flying economy to destinations like the Caribbean and Australia, taking accumulative savings to £170 and £194 respectively.<\/p>
