Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to increase excise taxes on fuel used by private jets, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Fueling Alternative Transportation with a Carbon Aviation Tax Act of 2023, proposes to increase the excise tax on fuel used by private jets. Specifically, it would raise the tax rate on non-commercial aviation fuel from 4.3 cents per gallon to $1.629 per gallon (with an inflation adjustment for future years). The bill also eliminates an exemption from the air transportation excise tax for certain helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft uses. Additionally, the bill establishes a "Funding to Support Clean Communities Trust Fund" that would be financed by the increased tax revenue, with at least 50% of the funds designated for environmental justice communities disproportionately impacted by air pollution.
