What's worse is the airlines are claiming that they are subsidising GA
through the fees they pay to the CAA - and conveniently leaving the fuel
taxes out of the calculations. Of course, fuel for airlines is tax free.
If you have a plane that runs on Jet-A (for example, the new Diamond
DA-40 or Twin Star), you have to pay VAT on jet fuel which the airlines
don't. (However, Jet-A is still very cheap - about 1/3rd of the cost of
avgas even with VAT added)
