ALSO "air passenger departure tax". This is what these fees are called in Canada and the US. Stick it in Google - plenty of references.

Just as an aside: in a formal document you may want to stick with the term \"tax\" rather than fee, because formally these are taxes. Cheers!

English often offers several non-obvious choices for a concept, depending on the level of language, the speaker, and the audience. Without lecturing :), there are what we call \"correct terms\" to be used when language matters, and informal references, when we give everyday names or make casual references to items/concepts \"we all know\". So, I would know that someone mentioning a passenger fee in a newspaper would probably (but not certainly) mean \"departure tax\". Note: passenger fee is ambiguous; departure tax is not. Hope this helps a bit - Cheers! is |
