In April 2021, the Federal government presented its latest budget and maintained its Luxury Tax,, although slightly amended, impacting many GA pilots across the nation.

COPA had corresponded with the Federal government in February 2020, strongly opposing the implementation of such a tax on the private aircraft owner community, see here.

There is strength in number and together we can make a difference. We encourage you to send a letter to your MP (find your Member of Parliament). Please feel free to use this template letter and copy COPA in your correspondence.

Attached is the letter COPA sent to the Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, by email on April 22, 2021 on behalf of its members and the private aircraft community in general maintaining our strong opposition to this new tax on new private aircraft.
