During this session, IATA will highlight the regulatory texts underpinning the ICAO TASA, along with key complexities and challenges in realizing its benefits. Ensuring correct tax treatment for airlines under Air Service Agreements, Double Tax Agreements, and reciprocal exemptions is crucial for delivering the economic and social benefits of air transport.
