Idaho Considering Sales Tax Exemption on Aircraft Parts
February 6, 2012
NBAA is encouraging Members to support Idaho House Bill 417 (HB 417) that would provide an exemption from sales and use tax for certain aircraft parts and components installed on out of state aircraft at FAA approved repair stations. Currently, there are more than 25 repair stations in Idaho performing this type of work. With many surrounding states already having these tax exemptions in place, passage of HB 417 would allow Idaho businesses to compete on a level playing field. The bill recently was passed in the Idaho House of Representatives and is currently being reviewed by the Senate Tax Committee.
