This bill would eliminate tax deductions for business expenses related to private plane ownership, purchase, maintenance, and operation. The legislation carves out exceptions for aircraft primarily used to transport cargo, planes modified and used for agriculture, firefighting, or emergency medical services, and aircraft operated by businesses that provide legitimate aviation services such as flight instruction, skydiving, scheduled commercial flights, or sightseeing tours. The change would apply to expenses incurred after December 31, 2025, effectively preventing wealthy individuals and corporations from using private jet expenses as a tax write-off while allowing legitimate aviation businesses to continue deducting their costs. The bill was introduced in April 2026 by Representatives Vindman, McDonald Rivet, and Landsman and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means for consideration.
