                                 H.R. 3608
  A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to exempt amounts
  paid for aircraft management services from the excise taxes imposed on
                            transportation by air

   As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways andMeans on July 13, 2016


H.R. 3608 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to exempt certain aircraft management
fees from the excise taxes imposed on transportation of persons and property by air. The
exemption would apply to certain fees charged for maintenance and support by a firm that
manages a client's personal aircraft. The fees that would be excluded from taxation include
those for storage and maintenance of the aircraft, for hiring and training of pilots, and for
flight planning and other administrative services.

Enacting H.R. 3608 would reduce revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
However, the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that enacting the
bill would reduce revenues by an insignificant amount, less than $500,000, over the
2016-2026 period.

CBO and JCT estimate that enacting the bill would not increase net direct spending in any
of the four 10-year periods beginning in 2027, and would increase on-budget deficits over
those periods by very small amounts.

JCT has determined that the bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates
as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Peter Huether. The estimate was approved by
Mark Booth, Unit Chief, Revenue Estimating.
