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.
32k for a f***king CJ ?
Sounds like someone has reading the leaflet "how to kill general aviation in your country"
at those tax rates, it's more cost effective to register an aircraft in another EU state, set up a single aircraft AoC and charter it to yourself. if you own/operate an exec jet you most likely have the requisite post holders available. (you could probably write the cost of charter from your business tax as a charter in could be considered a business cost..)
the only thing it will do is screw those who rely on GA for income.. there's going to be a lot of empty hangars in italy and full ones elsewhere, while companies that provide support services will go to the wall.
won't it also kill italian maintenance providers ?
idiots.
