Aviation Taxes Competitive Disadvantage

26

Legislative Effort A partial abatement of taxes on aviation property and parts

will lead to growth in the aviation industry in both the short and longer‐term.

Nevada will experience significant gains in high-wage jobs and economic activity from existing Nevada-based businesses.

The employment and economic benefits will begin to occur quickly, because of pent‐up demand.

Moreover, the growth will generate tax revenues that exceed cost of the abatement.
