Here's the source for the $0.70/gal tax:
1.. The FAA divided the total pool of projected FY 2009 air traffic costs allocated to general aviation and commercial piston users by the fiscal year 2009 tax yield to calculate a common fuel tax rate for this group of 56.4 cents per gallon. The AIP fuel tax of 13.6 cents per gallon was added to this figure for the proposed total of 70.0 cents per gallon. "BDS" wrote in message news ![]() "Steve Foley" wrote http://www.faa.gov/regulations_polic...authorization/ Washington Headquarters Press Release For Immediate Release Some details: "Jet and turboprop flights currently subject to the ticket tax-including domestic, international, passenger, cargo, charter, air taxi, and fractional operators-would pay their fair share of air traffic costs via user fees." "GA and piston users will pay their fair share of FAA costs through a fuel tax, their preferred mechanism. The tax rates are based on a detailed cost allocation, and would change every two years in line with an updated cost allocation study. All domestic commercial and GA users will also pay a common fuel tax of 13.6 cents per gallon to fund AIP, the Essential Air Service program and FAA's Research, Engineering and Development account." It seems to me that lots of GA users will be able to avoid this altogether if they have an STC to use mogas. BDS |
