Consideration of aviation fuel tax reduction with support of airlines with poor management Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism November 3, 5:06
It turns out that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is considering expanding measures to reduce taxes on aircraft fuel in order to support airlines whose management is deteriorating due to the influence of the new coronavirus. ..
The management of airline companies is deteriorating, with ANA Holdings showing a final deficit of 510 billion yen and Japan Airlines of 240 billion yen or more this year.
In response to this, it was found that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is considering expanding the reduction measures for the "aircraft fuel tax" for domestic flights.
Since 2011, the "aircraft fuel tax" has been reduced by about 30% from the original tax amount to 18,000 yen per kiloliter.
This tax revenue is used for airport facility maintenance and air traffic control operations, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is considering how much the tax amount can be reduced.
As a support measure for airlines, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has announced that it will reduce the "airport usage fee" by 45% after August, but decided that further support was necessary, and with related ministries and agencies. We are making adjustments.
