New Jersey Tax Proposal Draws Industry Ire
The proposal would more than double the fuel tax and eliminate an airline exemption for fuel burned outside the state.

Aviation industry leaders are waging a campaign against a measure in New Jersey that would more than double the state tax on aviation fuels and eliminate an exemption for airlines from taxes on fuel purchased in the state but burned beyond state borders. The measure would raise the tax of 2.75 percent of gross receipts (converted into about 4 cents per gallon) to 7 percent. That conversion could be adjusted annually.
