Chapter Chapter 2 in Air Transport and its Subsidies, 2022, pp 7-21 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Flights are exempt from kerosene taxes. The result is a cost relief, which triggers a steering effect. Kerosene consumption represents a threat to the environment that is not adequately sanctioned. The waiver of a kerosene tax is not a subsidy per se. The subsidy is rather in the non-sanctioning of the harmful consequences of kerosene consumption. No value added tax is levied on cross-border flights. The European value-added tax system is based on the principle that a general consumption tax is levied on services. The non-collection of tax on air transport services is a subsidy.
