New tax in Italy on aircraft!!!!
With immediate effect, a new tax on "luxury goods" has come into effect in Italy. This applies to all Italian registered aircraft and all foreign registered aircraft exceeding 48 hours on Italian soil per calender year.
Exempt are aircraft with an AOC (schedueled/unscheduled flights), Ambulance flights, state flights, school flights from FTOs).
E.g, for our privately operated Citation CJ2+, a visit longer than 48 hours to Italy would cost 32'384€ tax only. For AOC holders no problem but for all others???
Tax calculation summary:
up to 1.000 kg MTOW 1,50 €/kg,
from 1.001 to 2.000 kg MTOW 2,50 €/kg,
from 2.001 to 4.000 kg MTOW 4,25 €/kg,
from 4.001 to 6.000 kg MTOW 5,75 €/kg,
from 6.001 to 8.000 kg MTOW 6,65 €/kg,
from 8.001 to 10.000 kg MTOW 7,10 €/kg,
above 10.001 kg MTOW 7,55 €/kg.
