A taxable entity that furnishes labor or materials in connection with an agricultural aircraft operation would be considered the owner of the labor and materials and would include those costs in the calculation of cost of goods sold. The bill would take effect on January 1, 2014, and only apply to a report due on or after that date. Methodology The estimated fiscal impact is based on franchise tax data from taxable entities providing agricultural aviation services. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
