Unless otherwise stated, estimated
savings based on flying a Cessna 182,
Piper Cherokee, or Beech Bonanza
approximately 105 hours each year
with base maintenance costs of
$3,000 per year.

is corrected. Estimated
member savings: $180
per year.

WISCONSIN-AOPA
promotes successful
legislation that removes
the 5.5-percent sales
tax from aircraft
repairs. Estimated
member savings: $150
per year.
COLORADO-AOPA

works closely with
the Colorado Airport
Operators Association
to expand the state's
tax credit of $1,200
per new employee
enjoyed by aircraft
manufacturers to
include maintenance,
repair, and overhaul
businesses.

MAINTENANCE PARTS AND
LABOR EXEMPTIONS

AIRCRAFT SALES AND
MAINTENANCE

MINNESOTA-AOPA
supports legislation
that eliminates the
percentage-based
registration fee for
aircraft and exempted
aircraft maintenance
activity from the state's
6.875-percent sales
tax. Estimated member
savings: $206 per year.

personal property taxes
on privately owned
aircraft weighing less
than 6,000 pounds.
And the third would
have allowed the state
to charge sales and use
taxes on the purchase
of fuels now subject to
state excise tax.

LOUISIANA-AOPA

AOPA works with
lawmakers to stop
pilots flying homebuilts
from paying the state's
4-percent sales tax
twice-first on the
individual parts for
the aircraft, then again
as a registration fee
based on the value of
the completed aircraft.
Now homebuilders can
save their receipts and

helps stop three
different bills that
would have raised taxes
on aviators. The first
would have required
an annual adjustment
tied to the consumer
price index on the tax
levied on avgas. The
second would have
imposed state taxes on
antique airplanes and

SOUTH DAKOTA-

be exempted from the
4-percent registration
fee. Estimated member
savings: $3,200 on an
$80,000 kit.

MAINE-By winning

an extension to an
exemption from the
5.5-percent sales tax on
aircraft sales, parts, and
maintenance until 2033,
AOPA helps keep costs
down and business in
the state. Estimated
member savings: $165
per year for another 19
years.

MARYLAND-For the
third straight session,
AOPA vigorously
opposes legislation that
would have imposed
a luxury surcharge

FUEL AND
MAINTENANCE

on the retail sale of
aircraft sold for more
than $50,000, and the
legislation fails-again.

TEXAS-AOPA
supports legislation
that allows agricultural
aircraft operations to
exclude the cost of
labor, equipment, fuel,
and materials used to
provide those services
from its total revenue.
AOPA ADVOCACY
EFFORTS across
the United States are
