Some business jet operators are protesting a ticket tax they say was meant for commercial passengers only. As a result, they are suing the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for $643 million says Andrew Welsh-Huggins of Newser.
The aircraft management service providers include four Ohio-based subsidiaries of NetJets Inc. who say “the ticket tax was not intended to apply to private aircraft owners and the fees they pay to maintain and operate their planes.”
The companies maintain they “do not transport these owners, but instead simply act as the owners’ agent and assist them in transporting themselves on their own planes.”
