The United Kingdom, Italy, and Norway were the European countries with the highest aviation taxes in 2018. The United Kingdom levied an average of 40 euros per ticket, about double the figure for Italy and Norway. European countries only charges ticket taxes and VAT, exempting aircraft fuel from taxation. Since 2019, however, the EU has been debating putting an end to the tax break on jet fuel, in response to increasing environmental concerns.
