EU to exempt private jets and ‘pleasure flights’ from climate tax on jet fuel
The European Commission has proposed exempting private jets and cargo flights from the planned EU jet fuel tax. A draft indicates that the tax would be phased-in for passenger flights, including ones that carry cargo. (www.thegwpf.com) Más...your turn to be surprised. Commercial jets number in the several of thousands, private jets less. Utilization of business jets does not match the 8 to 10 hours daily usage of commercial airline jets. Still, this is favoritism for the ultra rich jet jockeys. No other way to describe it.
Agree 100%. See no reason why they should be exempt.
I see no reason for "climate taxes" at all. Just one more way for governments to skim money from everyone, commercial OR private.
But of course, the Toffs and Elites are exempt as usual from all the bullshit rules they impose on all of us peasants. The nerve of these low dogs to complain about the climate tax! Make them eat cake!!
Do as I say but not as I do...
