Committee votes negative recommendation on bill to remove sales tax for small-aircraft repairs
Summary
Senate Bill 2143 would remove sales tax on repairs to aircraft under 12,500 pounds to align tax treatment with larger aircraft; the subcommittee recorded a $3.9 million fiscal impact and voted a negative recommendation, forwarding the bill to finance.
Chairman White, the bill sponsor, said SB 2143 would "remove sales tax on repairs to aircraft that are less than 12,500 pounds," explaining the change is meant to equalize tax treatment between smaller and larger aircraft.
The chair read the fiscal note estimating a $3,900,000 cost to the state. After a brief opportunity for questions, Senator Powers moved a negative recommendation, seconded by Senator Wally; the clerk recorded five ayes and the bill will proceed to the finance committee with a negative recommendation.
