Industry Leaders Hail NY GA Sales/Use Tax Exemption
AOPA estimates that New York sales and use taxes contributed to the loss of nearly 700 based aircraft in state since 2002.

The New York state legislature agreed to exempt general aviation aircraft from the state’s sales and use tax in a move that aviation groups say will spur jobs and economic development in the state. The exemption, included in a state budget package that passed both the Senate and Assembly last week, was spearheaded by the New York Legislative Aviation Caucus.
