Local Sales Tax: Jet Fuel: Place of Sale. This measure would specifically <br /> identify the place of sale of jet fuel as the site where the fuel is delivered to the aircraft when there <br /> is a single sales office in California for the jet fuel sales. This change would go into effect <br /> January 1, 2008. <br /> This change would close an unintended loophole that was created during previous legislation <br /> regulating sales taxes on jet fuel. Airports demand significant service responsibilities from local <br /> agencies, such as public safety and maintenance of local streets and roads. These costs have <br /> increased significantly with heightened security concerns. <br /> Current law allowed for a loophole that resulted in the diversion of jet fuel sales taxes from many <br /> local governments with airports to a single sales location. The impact on the effected local <br /> governments has been the loss of milfions of sales tax dollars.
