Does anybody know if the old £5 "travel tax" is still in place, bearing in mind the suggestion that there will be a extra €10 airline tax contained in todays Budget?
Correct - There is a £10 tax in the UK for departing Pax but no government tax in ireland.
From what I recall of the tax that was here before (£5), it was an airport tax so ships were not impacted.What about Ships will they be penalised.
Is this effective immediately?
So presumably from Shannon they would all be 10€ making it cheaper to fly from Dublin? I'm not sure of distances so maybe it makes no difference.Seems like this did make it in .. looking at RTE News ... but I didn't think i heard it
€2 for flights up to 300km
€10 for all flights over 300km
300km is a fairly arbitrary limit .. for example Dublin to Manchester is €2, but Birmingham is €10 ... similary Glasgow is on the cheap rate but Edinburgh isn't
