The bill would amend Subsection (b) to provide that repair, remodeling, and maintenance services to all aircraft are exempt. Current law limits this exemption to services performed with respect to aircraft used as certificated or licensed carriers of persons or property, used for flight instruction, or used for certain agricultural purposes. The bill would amend Subsections (d) and (e) to provide that machinery, tools, supplies, and equipment used exclusively in the repair, remodeling, or maintenance of all aircraft is exempt, as well as tangible personal property affixed, attached, or placed in all aircraft. Current law limits these exemptions to aircraft used as certificated or licensed carriers of persons or property or used for flight instruction. The bill would take effect September 1, 2015. Methodology The fiscal implications were estimated based on data from Comptroller tax files and industry sources on amounts subject to Texas sales and use tax of businesses performing aircraft repair and maintenance. Local Government Impact There would be a proportional loss of sales and use tax revenue from local taxing jurisdictions as shown in the above table.
