New Mexico Considers Taxing Virgin Galactic Tickets
Proposed bill would tax passengers on Virgin Galactic suborbital flights from the State-owned Spaceport America near Las Cruces. Millions in public funds went toward building the site in expectation of economic and tax benefits. Tax hit on VG's $450K tickets, 700 of which are now reserved, is $31,000 (6.9%). When shopping for future half-million dollar suborbital flights, don't be surprised by the big add-on at check-out. (apnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Land in Texas Arizona or Colorado. NMexico has no power to tax interstate commerce.
If a person chooses to afford a space trip they will not be put off by a tax. Besides, since I am sure it was business related, the whole thing is deductible anyway.
You pay sales tax to ride the rollercoaster. Why wouldn’t you expect to pay sales tax on a VG flight?
Yes, move to Texas and let more jobs disappear from New Mexico.
Virgin Galactic should move to Florida.
Maybe move their operations to TEXAS, where we will take the jobs created versus a sales tax for those that do not produce a bony thing. Seems to me that there is another spaceport just a few miles east of the New Mexico one on the TEXAS side.
