According to UK tax authorities the higher level of tax should be payable once there is seating that is different to the basic level and requires an additional payment before passengers can sit there. Does that not describe E+?
I don't think E+ would be subject to the higher tax. Passenger booking classes/fares are the same to that of E- and it isn't something you necessarily have to pay additional for - something you are rewarded for your loyalty. Not to mention that service is exactly the name - it isn't even like BMI's Prem Economy where there is a difference in service (Now, I would be interested if these pax receive the higher tax)
