Following our Thursday story, we’ve had a lot of questions from AVweb readers asking for more details about how Maine is taxing GA pilots who fly into the state. Right now we don’t have clear answers. A few dozen pilots have been assessed taxes and there are varying situations. Also, the law has recently changed, and it’s not clear how GA pilots will be affected going forward. AOPA’s Greg Pecoraro plans to meet with Maine officials next month and we will have an update on the situation then.
What’s The Deal With Maine?
Key Takeaways:
- Maine is taxing General Aviation (GA) pilots flying into the state, but the specific details and application of the tax remain unclear.
- Dozens of pilots have already been assessed taxes under various circumstances, and recent changes to the law further complicate its impact on GA pilots.
- AOPA is scheduled to meet with Maine officials next month to seek clarification and provide an update on the situation.
