 <\/p>\n

Aviation news international- Astudy by the Transport & Environment<\/a> European campaign group has identified what it called a \u201ctax gap\u201d worth \u20ac34.2bn ($38.4bn) in the Europe-wide aviation sector.<\/p>\n

The group defines this gap as \u201crevenues that should have been raised from air travel pricing if the sector did not benefit from [tax] exemptions.\u201d Transport & Environment said kerosene tax exemptions and low ticket taxes created the apparent shortfall.<\/p>\n

In its\u00a0report<\/a>, the group claimed the \u201cmissing\u201d funds could pay for 1,400km of high-speed rail infrastructure across the continent.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Carbon pricing and fuel taxes both come under fire in the paper, despite regulations in place across Europe to allow the practices to push consumers away from fossil fuels. It noted the EU\u2019s Energy Taxation Directive, for which an update was proposed as part of the Fit for 55 strategy but Transport & Environment remarked on \u201cnumerous legislative hurdles\u201d stopping the updated legislation from passing through Brussels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe study recommends applying a fuel tax on kerosene, a 20% VAT rate on tickets and extending the carbon market for aviation to all departing flights,\u201d\u00a0Transport & Environment said.<\/p>\n

The group calculated that increased taxes on aviation in 2022 would have cut out 35Mt of CO\u2082 and suggested monies raised could be reinvested into\u00a0SAF<\/a>\u00a0projects.<\/p>\n

Transport & Environment aviation director Jo Dardenne said: \u201cTaxation should not be perceived as a punishment but as a way to fairly charge those who benefit most from aviation\u2019s under-regulation. Those better off in society have been paying far too little for their flying habits.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaxation will not limit aviation\u2019s capacity to invest. On the contrary, taxing aviation will benefit citizens and the sector in the long run, as governments step in to finance the transition to clean energy, including for aviation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
