LEGISLATIVE OUTREACH & INITIATIVES
Help Stop Harmful Tax Proposals
Please tell Congress TODAY to stand up for business aviation and the economy!
If you weren’t paying careful attention, you may have missed it in his State of the Union address, President Biden referenced troubling new tax proposals for business aviation.
The president has followed through on those comments with onerous proposals in his annual budget plan that single out the industry for punitive tax treatment, including a five-fold fuel tax increase on business aviation, to $1.06 per gallon, and a change to the depreciation schedule for a purchased business aircraft, from 5 years to 7 years.
The budget proposal follows a recent plan unveiled by the IRS for audits on companies using business aircraft, to ensure that “everyone is playing by the same rules.”
NBAA and MBAA are always working for you. As the Biden administration ramps up its rhetoric and regulatory focus on business aviation, the associations have been quick to push back. But there is power in numbers and we need Congress to hear your voice today!
Go to the NBAA website via the following link or call your member of Congress and both Minnesota Senators TODAY to urge Congress to oppose anti-business aviation tax policies from the administration. Remind Congress that business aviation powers the economy with 1.2 million jobs and $250 billion in economic activity each year.

We will enter the 1st year of the two year congressional calendar which will begin in January 2025. Any previous legislation introduced in 2023 or 2024 will no longer be up for consideration. To consider any previously introduced bill, the bill must be re-introduced for consideration and debate. We continue to monitor State and Federal legislatures to assess where we need to engage on behalf of the Business Aviation community. We continue to maintain contacts to sustain a positive dialog with our elected state and congressional representatives. Please contact MBAA should there be an issue you believe is of importance to the Minnesota Business Aviation community.
