Fiscal Detail and Notes
Expanding the sales tax exemption for aircraft purchased or leased by nonresidents and immediately transported out of the State and exempting from sales tax parts used exclusively in the replacement, overhaul and rebuilding of such aircraft retroactively to July 1, 2008 will reduce General Fund revenues and will reduce revenue sharing.  The retroactivity of the exemption results in greater revenue reductions in the first fiscal year of the exemption.
