Leaked European Commission study on aviation taxes
The European Commission funded a study on aviation taxation, which was completed in mid-2018 but never published.
It finds that Europe is chronically undertaxing the sector in comparison to other major markets. It further finds that increasing aviation taxation could cut emissions while having no net impact on jobs or GDP. T&E’s briefing paper analyses these findings.
