Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination sets the aviation fuel levy — a tax paid by airlines and aircraft operators on every litre of fuel they use.

What it does:

Sets the rate: From 1 July 2010, the charge is fixed at 3.556 cents per litre for both aviation gasoline (used in small planes) and aviation kerosene (jet fuel used in airliners).
Decides who gets the money: 100% of the revenue collected goes to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) — the government regulator responsible for airline safety, pilot licensing, and aircraft maintenance standards.

In short, this is the annual update to the "price tag" on aviation fuel that funds Australia's aviation safety watchdog.
