The exclusion would be for the cost of labor, equipment, fuel, and materials used in providing those services. The bill would take effect January 1, 2014 and 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 aircraft services. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
