S. Congress's recent failure to renew a measure which included the collection of certain taxes on airline tickets. I believe this non-renewal is the meaning of "FAA shutdown".

  • S.
  • Congress's recent failure to renew a measure which included the collection of certain taxes on airline tickets.
  • I believe this non-renewal is the meaning of "FAA shutdown".
  • Because of it, travel after a certain date is no longer taxed - or is taxed differently - or something like that - I don't know the details.
  • Passengers who purchased tickets before a certain date paid this tax at the time of purchase, but because of the change in the law, which applies the tax at the time of travel, if the passenger travels after this date, he is entitled to a refund of the tax.
