20EXPLANATION
21The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
22the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   23Current law exempts from the Iowa sales and use tax the
24sale, rental, or use of aircraft component parts permanently
25attached to an aircraft, including repair or replacement
26materials or parts, and repair, remodeling, and maintenance
27services used on an aircraft, aircraft engine, or aircraft
28component materials or parts, provided the aircraft is used
29in either a scheduled or nonscheduled interstate federal
30aviation administration (FAA) certified air carrier operation
31(scheduled or nonscheduled FAA operation). This bill removes
32the requirement that the aircraft be used in a scheduled or
33nonscheduled FAA operation to qualify for the exemption. The
34sale, rental, or use of the component parts and services
35described above will be exempt from the sales and use tax
-1-1when permanently attached to or performed on any aircraft.
2The bill defines “aircraft” to mean the same as it does for
3purposes of Code chapter 328 (aeronautics), which includes any
4contrivance now known, or hereafter invented, used or designed
5for navigation of or flight in the air, for the purpose of
6transporting persons or property, or both.
   7The bill also makes nonsubstantive changes to Code sections
8423.3(74) and 423.3(75) to strike or move similar language
9relating to the sales and use tax exemption described in the
10bill and to the sales and use tax exemption for the sale or
11rental of aircraft used in a scheduled FAA operation.
