Quality report

Further details for this statistical release, including data suitability and coverage, are included within the APD Bulletin quality report.

The Air Passenger Duty National Statistics presents statistics from the different Air Passenger Duty (APD) rates administered by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

The APD Bulletin is updated annually and includes statistics and analysis on APD receipts up to the latest full month before its release and airline passenger numbers one month behind that of duty receipts in the UK.

As a result of the consultation on the reduction and consolidation of HMRC statistics publications, the APD bulletin will be published annually from June 2022.

Archive versions of the APD Bulletin published on GOV.UK after October 2019 are no longer hosted on GOV.UK and are instead available via the UK Government Web Archive, from the National Archives.

Archive versions of the APD Bulletin published between 2008 and October 2019 are found on the UK Trade Info website, accessed via the National Archives.
