State eyes tax breaks for air tickets, aircraft parts
Air operators pass on some of their costs to passengers, with taxes and levies accounting for up to 24 percent of air fares, according to a survey by the East African Business Council (EABC).
Taxes on air tickets and the import of aircraft parts will be slashed if a State-backed policy is adopted in efforts to make travel cheaper and local airlines competitive.
The National Aviation Policy is seeking a review of the value added tax, import duty, import declaration fees and the railway development levy.
