Pour les amateurs (propriétaires de leur leur propre machine), voici une copie du courriel reçu de l'AOPA ce matin :

Le nouveau gouvernement italien a décidé de classer l'aviation légère parmi les dépenses de luxe, et par voie de conséquence, d'y apposer des taxes exhorbitantes.
Notre aviation qui souffre déjà de beaucoup de maux n'avait pas besoin de cela.
L'AOPA et certains membres du gouvernement ont engagé des démarches afin de faire lever ces mesures, mais nous nous heurtons à un univers dont l'inertie
En attendant de nouvelles directives plus légères pour notre aviation, nous vous donnons ci-dessous les conditions actuelles auxquelles vous devrez vous plier lors de votre prochain passage en terre italienne.



THE ITALIAN “LUXURY” TAX ON G.A. AIRCRAFT ... FOR FOREIGN AIRCRAFT (!)

WHO PAYS
Aircraft owners or operators of private aircraft intending to spend more than 48 hours in Italy.
Exclusions : airlines, taxi, charter ad aerial work company planes, State and Government , Police, Fire Fighters, Search and Rescue, Aero Club (both national and local), Air Force …
In theory the tax has to be paid for one full year taking as a base the date of expiry of the aircraft ARC and has to be paid for a full 12 months period. The tax is meant to “touch” the airplanes owned by Italians with a foreign registration but it hit a real foreigner as a “collateral damage”.

WHEN PAYMENT IS DUE
Payment, in theory, is due prior entering the Country .. we doubt that anyone will verify if payment has been made and we believe that no one will ever come and claim payment after the aircraft has left the country.
However, if you intend to park your plane at an International airport where “police” officials, customs officers “Guardia di Finanza” (economic police) officers are in permanence it is better to be prepared.

HOW TO PAY
Payments, in Euro only, can be done with a bank transfer on the Italian Government bank account :
IBAN code of the bank account is IT35Z0100003245348008122300.
In the transfer you should indicate the BIC code: BITAITRRENT then, as reference for the payment, you should indicate your name in full, the registration of the aircraft, the tax code 3368, and the dates of validity of your ARC.

Payment will be valid for the year.

HOW MUCH TO PAY
1) Up to 1.000 kg MTOW 1,5 Euro per kg
2) Up to 2.000 kg MTOW 2,45 Euro per kg
3) Up to 4.000 kg MTOW 4,25 Euro per kg
4) Up to 6.000 kg MTOW 5,75 Euro per kg
5) Up to 8.000 kg MTOW 6,65 Euro per kg
6) Up to 10.000 kg MTOW 7,10 Euro per kg
7) over 10.000 kg MTOW 7,55 Euro per kg




The problem is that it is still unclear if you have to pay the full amount of your category or if you have to pay it proportionally.
Helicopters ... in accordance to the above weights .. the double of the amount established for the airplanes
Gliders, motorgliders, gyroplanes, balloons 450,00 Euro (fixed amount)
For example 1.500kg MOTW = 1.500x2,45 € or 1.000x1,5€ + 500 x 2,45 € ..
the Ministry have not replied yet to our formal demand so we suggest to pay the lower amount (there is always time to pay the difference).



Noubliez pas que la Sardaigne fait partie des territoires assujettis à ces taxes !
