2019: HB 447 Jet Fuel Sales and Use Tax Exemption
Session 2019-20As originally introduced, HB 447 would provide for a partial extension of the sales tax exemption on jet fuel through the end of FY2039 and would impose a half penny excise tax per gallon of jet fuel to be levied for the purposes of supporting general aviation airports. By exempting jet fuel from sales and use tax, we will increase Georgia’s competitiveness, leading to more flights coming in and out of the state and benefit existing statewide companies in addition to those looking to come to Georgia, whose businesses depend on global air service.
Unfortunately, HB 447 was unfavorably modified in the Senate and did not move forward in 2019.
*The vote reflected on the scorecard is the House floor vote on the original language of HB 447.
