EU tax on Jet A - the end of aviation diesel ?

And as always, the irrational focus on aviation by environmentalists will lead to double and triple taxation due to a combination of airlines’ participation in emissions trading, voluntary compensations, per-passenger taxes and fuel taxes.

I really wonder how much exploitation by tax lords will the average guy accept before we see the same protests which came up in France, only much more.

If we really get to a situation where the average worker can not afford a car anymore, can not afford to travel anymore and will have his quality of life ruined by the very socialist scum which pretend to be the workers representatives, are they all going to take it sitting down and just accept it? Maybe some will be scared sufficiently by the doomsday scientists to just give in or they will follow their political leaders as they have done in the past in some countries. But others won’t sit there and accept that their sour earnt privileges and achievements will simply go away.

To me, it is perfectly clear: The changes these people want will lead to public revolt, possibly homegrown terrorism and ultimately war.

Maybe that is what some of them are after… war’s tend to depopulize countries by 50-60% which is what some of those extremists want to achieve anyhow, themselfs excluded obviously.

Can we please refrain from that kind of language? Endorsing a particular political ideology is not reason to call adherents of opposing ideologies “scum”.

I don’t know for EU, but France has raised taxes on private JetA1.
JetA1 for GA is now around 2€/L in France, compared to 91cts in 2017 !
FYI, 100LL is around 2,50€/L
In fact, I don’t see much diesel GA aircraft, apart from DA42s in ATOs. But more and more Rotax.

Fully taxed? I don‘t believe so.

At many airports in Europe, flyers of DA40s etc. also get hit with „small quantity surcharges“, often raising the price to over 3€ per litre. It‘a really hard making a diesel piston aircraft make sense, ops-cost-wise.

In 2017, JetA was indeed exempted from several taxes for all users. So that’s what you paid as a private owner or a club. This world is over.
CAT is still exempted I think.

You may also need access to CAT terminal from GA terminal, in some places this means you need to call security to fetch your pockets and aircraft, declare you safe before you are allowed to call JetA truck to your aircraft, then who will add 100e ‘hoo*er-fee’ for your 50L uplift, if you get bored after 1h wait, don’t leave DA40NG without yellow jacket in ZSAR Zone before security comes, the whole airport get shutdown !

On JetA, there is Duty tax, VAT tax and Export refund

Which ones owners & clubs were benefiting from?
