SEE ALLU.S. Government-Imposed Taxes on Air TransportationAlong with traditional income and payroll taxes, airlines and their customers (passengers and shippers) pay many special taxes and fees to a variety of authorities, both at home and abroad. Among the stated purposes of these taxes and fees are homeland (national) security, environmental protection, agriculture inspection, infrastructure enhancement, airport and airway operations and maintenance, and agency financing. U.S. and foreign taxes have grown in number, amount, and scope since the advent of air transport. The amount a passenger pays in taxes and fees on a ticket varies according to his itinerary, including the number of times he or she boards a new flight and at what airports. In addition to the special taxes and fees captured in the table below, the Federal Aviation Administration also charges overflight fees to operators of aircraft that fly in U.S.-controlled airspace, but neither take off nor land in the United States.Special (Commercial/General) Aviation Taxes197219922019AIRPORT & AIRWAY TRUST FUND ( FAA )Passenger Ticket Tax 1a (domestic)8.00%10.00%7.50%Flight Segment Tax 1a (domestic)——$4.20Frequent Flyer Tax 2——7.50%International Departure Tax 3$3.00$6.00$18.60International Arrival Tax 3——$18.60Cargo Waybill Tax 1b (domestic)5.00%6.25%6.25%Commercial Jet Fuel Tax (domestic flights not continuing ex-USA)——4.3¢Noncommercial Jet Fuel Tax (domestic) — n/a to airline ops7.0¢17.5¢21.8¢Noncommercial AvGas Tax (domestic) — n/a to airline ops7.0¢15.0¢19.3¢Liquid Fuel used in a Fractional-Ownership Flight — n/a to airlines——14.1¢ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA)LUST Fuel Tax 4 (domestic)—0.1¢0.1¢LOCAL AIRPORT PROJECTSPassenger Facility Charge—Up to $3.00Up to $4.50DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (DHS)September 11th Fee 5——$5.60APHIS Passenger Fee 6—$2.00$3.96APHIS Aircraft Fee 6—$76.75$225.00Customs User Fee 7—$5.00$5.89Immigration User Fee 8—$5.00$7.001.
