> Under current legislation, across Europe fuel used for aviation is largely tax-exempt, with a small exemption for low-altitude recreational aircrafts. This has long allowed air freight companies, commercial airlines and private jet operators to operate with a free pass regarding taxation.
Which implies, in Europe at least, there is no tax on jet fuel currently.
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 4y ago> exempt, with a small exemption I've never seen a double negative in this form before.
- saurik 4y agoWhile I agree the double negative is awkward there it would read a lot easier with "small exception" instead of "small exemption" and maybe the author even wanted that word but was writing an article full of the word "exemption" and either made a mistake or forgot.
