No, I didn't say it's easier. It's just not much more difficult;
I just don't agree. How many gov't employees are employeed to collect
the gas tax? How many would be required to collect the use tax? I would
guess it to be at **least** a hundred fold increase, maybe a thousand
fold.
It's trivial for software to automatically bill the right user for the fees.
How many FBOs have front desk people who can just use Word? This seems
like a burden on the FBO. In the U.S. user fees are **very** rare so
most FBOs have never has exposure to them. I just can't understand how
any of this is easier or beter than gas tax. In fact, I can't think of
anytime I've ever been charged a user fee in the U.S. other than the
landing fee that is automatically added to the parking fee. The only
user fee I've **ever** received in the mail has been from Canada.
