Facing the prospect of an expiring sales-and-use tax exemption on aircraft parts and maintenance in Virginia, national and regional aviation business and general aviation associations have begun to survey operators in the state to build data on the benefits of the policy. NBAA is working with the Greater Washington Business Aviation Association (GWBAA), AOPA, and the Virginia Aviation Business Association to measure the impact of the tax policy that took effect in 2018 but is set to expire in 2025.

This data will help the organizations better advocate for an extension, NBAA said, noting that a 2018 survey found that its members typically spent between $50,000 to $100,000 per event when they traveled outside of the commonwealth for major maintenance work.
