Quote Setup

Starting March 1st, 2025, the French government has approved a new tax that will apply to all passenger flights departing from France. This tax will be subjugated by PAX and Leg, no matter the origin of the aircraft AOC country, but by the aircraft category 🛩️. 

This needs to be added to your quotes to ensure the cost is covered, so we have implemented the TSBA as a “System-Supported tax.”

What’s the amount?

The tax is determined by the type of aircraft completing the leg and the distance traveled.

Aircraft Category	French domestic Intra-European flights	Intermediate Distance	Long Distance
Turboprop	210€	675€	1025€
Jet Aircraft	420€	1015€	2100€
Airliners >20 seats	7,4€	15€	40€

 

How do I find it in the system?

The new tax is automatically added to your system as a “System-supported tax,” but you need to add it as a line item to your quotes. 

To create a quote, select Add line item and scroll down to find the French Solidarity Tax associated with the aircraft category and the trip distance.

Adding the TSA as a default line item

If you frequently have flights departing from France, setting the taxes as a default option is advisable to save time.

To do this, navigate to the Company> Settings > Pricing tab and scroll down to System Supported Taxes.

Once you find the tax you want to add as a default for your quotes, click the pencil icon ✏️ located on the right side of the tax item. When creating a new quote in Avinode Trip Manager without a Pricing Profile, you can check the box for Use by default on this page.

Please remember to click Save and repeat the process if you’d like to add more taxes as default line items for your quotes.

 

Supported regions

This tax will be automatically applied to legs departing from mainland France on or after March 1st, 2025. It will not be applied to legs departing from French overseas territories, such as French Guiana, Martinique, Saint Martin, and more.

Each passenger onboard a commercially-operated private jet flight arriving at or departing from an Italian airport is subject to the Italian Luxury Tax (Italian Aero Taxi Tax). The tax is due by each passenger and the rate is based on the distance between the point of origin to the destination for each flight to, from and within Italy.

• 10 EUR per PAX if distance is less than 100 km (NOT supported in Schedaero/ Trip Manager, currently)

• 100 EUR per PAX if distance is more than 100 km but less than 1500 km

• 200 EUR per PAX if distance is greater than 1500 km

(The distance calculations are referenced to the great circle track + 95 km)

 

OPTION 1: You are an operator using Schedaero quotation

The Italian Luxury Tax can now be implemented in your Avinode/Schedaero pricing profile(s).

 

The two higher distance bands (as stated above) are now supported and available as optional line items to implement in your pricing profile:

• "Italian Luxury Tax (Short distance)"

• "Italian Luxury Tax (Long distance)"

   

By including the two line items into your pricing profile, one of the two different rate types will automatically be applied (per passenger) to your quote for trips to, from & within Italian territory. The system will recognize a trip's distance and add the applicable rate by default: either the "Italian Luxury Tax (Short distance)" if the trip is 100 - 1500 km, or the "Italian Luxury Tax (Long distance)" one, if the trip's distance is greater than 1500 km.

For domestic Italian trips, ILT is charged once per PAX and leg.

 

How to implement the ILT line items:

The line item(s) have to be added into your desired pricing profiles.

 

To implement the ILT in your pricing profile, you will simply need to add the 2 line items called "Italian Luxury Tax (Short distance)" and "Italian Luxury Tax (Long distance)", by using the corresponding drop down menu.

 

The ILT line items are available to all companies in Avinode and Schedaero/ Trip Manager.

 

 

Remove any of your previous workarounds (e.g. ILT in your Airport fees)

 

PRO TIP! Finally, don’t forget to remove any existing work-arounds that you might have added, so it doesn't get calculated twice.

 

For example, in case you have set up a per pax departure/arrival fee under the Airports tab for Italian airports in the Aircraft section.

OPTION 2: You are a broker using Trip Manager quotation

The Italian Luxury Tax can now be implemented in your Trip Manager quotes

 

The two higher distance bands (as stated above) are now supported and available as optional line items to add into your quotes:

• "Italian Luxury Tax (Short distance)"

• "Italian Luxury Tax (Long distance)"

   

By including these two line items into your Trip Manager quotes, one of the two different rate types will automatically be applied (per passenger) to your quote for trips to, from & within Italian territory. The system will recognize a trip's distance and add the applicable rate by default: either the "Italian Luxury Tax (Short distance)" if the trip is 100 - 1500 km, or the "Italian Luxury Tax (Long distance)" one, if the trip's distance is greater than 1500 km.

For domestic Italian trips, ILT is charged once per PAX and leg.

 

How to implement the ILT line items:

If you want your Trip Manager quotes to automatically include the ILT for any trip you create going from/to Italy, you will need to go into your Company > Settings > Pricing page, and activate the "Quote Default" setting for the 2 newly-created Italian Luxury Tax options (as shown in the screenshot below).

 

FYI, the ILT pricing options are found under the “System Supported Taxes” pricing settings section.

 

By default, the rates (in EUR) are auto-populated in accordance with the actual ILT rates, which shall apply for the two higher distance bands.

Please NOTE that you may also decide to override these rates with different ones if you wish. To do so, you'll first need to uncheck the "Allow Avinode Group to overwrite & update tax rates" option that is available under Company→ Settings→ Pricing, Edit "Italian Luxury Tax (...)" pricing option.
