SUMMARY



Synopsis of Bill



This bill gives 100% deduction of gross receipts and compensating tax on the sale of fuel specially prepared and sold for use in turboprop or jet-type engines as determined by the Taxation and Revenue Department (TRD). This bill would impact two funds, the general fund and the state aviation fund.



The state aviation fund currently receives revenue from: un-refunded taxes collected on the sale of motor fuel for aircraft (64-1-15); 3.59% of taxes collected from the sale of fuel specially prepared and sold for use in turboprop or jet-type engines (7-1-6.7(A)); and 0.26% of gasoline taxes collected net of penalties and interest (7-1.6.7(B)). Monies in the state aviation fund are used for planning, construction and maintenance of airports, navigation aids and related facilities serving New Mexico. This bill would decrease revenues used for this purpose.



FISCAL IMPLICATIONS



Unknown. At the time of this analysis, the Legislative Finance Committee had yet to receive analysis from the Taxation and Revenue Department.
