Welcome - Isle of Man Government DED
Isle of Man registered aircraft that are operated in the framework of the economic activity of an enterprise carried on by a company is ‘commercial use’ within the meaning of Article 555 of Regulation (EEC) No. 2454/93 and the owner/operator is therefore entitled to purchase tax exempt fuel.
Form 53 Application for a Certificate of Commercial Use is available on the CAA website
Welcome - Isle of Man Government DED under ‘Information Leaflets’. On receipt of a completed form the Isle of Man CAA will issue a Certificate to be submitted to the fuel supplier as confirmation that the aircraft is being operated for commercial use.
The German Business Aviation Association (GBAA) recently won a lawsuit on the right for tax free fuel. Supporting the claim the Court ruled that companies using an aircraft for non-AOC charter have the right to reclaim any previously paid fuel tax and for the future, to enjoy tax free refuelling on production of a certificate to demonstrate non-AOC commercial usage.
