Tax expert at firm calls it 'inefficient and disruptive'
Accountancy Age, 01 Feb 2007
The decision by the Treasury to increase the Airline Passenger Duty has been slammed by Ernst & Young as being ‘inefficient and disruptive’
Chris Sanger, head of tax policy development at Ernst & Young, said: ‘The change in the rate of APD for contracts that were concluded prior to the pre-Budget Report is a regrettable decision by the Treasury.
‘This has introduced significant market disruption, something that has been avoided in the past by providing greater advance notice (thus reducing the number of flights already booked),’ he added.
