>Despite the sector’s substantial climate impact, intercontinental flights to and from Europe remain largely **exempt** from the EU’s emissions trading system (ETS) – the bloc’s main tool for pricing carbon pollution from heavy-emitting sectors.
>**Billions in missed revenue**
>end exemptions for private jets.
Why the fuck are private jets not taxed? They’re the assholes that can afford and should pay fuck tons of tax…
How about taxing on flights and use that money to invest more in railways (including high speed trains) over all of Europe? I guess lobbyists won’t like that.
They’ll just rerout flights to Zurich and London
How do you possibly use the word “earn” to describe tax? This is simply dipping into the pockets of the travelling public to fund a raft of unnecessary, unwanted, and most likely fraudulent little EU schemes.
Then pay tribute to the U.S., oh no, I mean invest, haha.
The current politicians are willing to help the rich, let them eat cake, at the risk of the far right becoming popular
Who knew? Rich people have all the money
Somehow this tax will be avoided by the private jets and the rich and the ones paying the tax will be normal working people that just want to have a vacation once a year. This will make it so people don’t fly, tanking the flying industry, leading to way less than the projected €1T, causing job losses and reduced tourism. The small amount of actual tax revenue gained will probably have to be used to bail out the tanking aviation industry that the tax caused to begin with.
So thanks, but no thanks. I’ve been around long enough now to see how these increased taxes and their projected revenue seems to play out.
You don’t tax aviation, you don’t tax land, you always tax income either directly or with extra steps, you can only pay taxes with money and the only way to get money is income.
The rest is semantics, it’s how you calculate how much tax is due, but all tax is paid with income and since there is only so much income to go around it’s always a zero sum game.
At the end of the day people pay taxes, so just tax them directly once at the source so they can all see how much tax they actually pay.
Private jets are a scourge on the environment. They should be taxed for every kilo of CO2 released in the atmosphere. Wanna fly private ? It’s expensive.
But we’re winning the fight against plastic straws…
p.s. i’d leave commercial aviation alone though, or a smaller tax, allow for mobility
It’s not like Europe is not getting any benefits from this tourist and business traffic the aviation brings
Like a rich tax? A rich tax that should have been brought in decades ago but poor and middle class get squeezed instead.
