Profit and loss
Article Abstract:
The recent announcement by the European Commission that it plans to phase-out tax- and duty-free goods is expected to be strongly opposed by airport companies, which will face a substantial loss of revenue. Duty-free goods at the U.K.'s Birmingham International Airport account for 10% of turnover and their loss could cause air travel prices to increase. However, many of the large high street stores trading from the new shopping malls at airports believe that they will be largely unaffected by the planned changes, which are expected to most affect sales of liquor and cigarettes.
