Guide to aeronautical charges

1 - Preamble

In all cases, the application of V.A.T. depends on the system to which the company invoiced for airport services is subject.


Customers are responsible for informing SEALAPB's Customer Billing Department of any changes to their fleet: purchases, sales, rentals, leasing, modifications to aircraft characteristics, etc.


In the absence of notification, services will be invoiced according to the characteristics known to Poitiers-Biard Airport.

2 - Application of VAT

V.A.T. on airport services (landing, lighting, parking, passenger and fuel fees) is charged at the standard rate of 20% (since January1, 2014).

The system for applying VAT to these services was defined by the Finance Act of December 19, 1978, which is summarized in the table below:

Operator VAT
Approved French airlines (*) with less than 80% international traffic Taxable
Approved French airlines (*) with 80% or more of their traffic on international routes Exempt
Approved foreign airlines Exempt
Private, corporate and aerial work companies Taxable
French and foreign military aircraft, French and foreign state aircraft Taxable

(*) Companies defined in article L.330-1 of the French Civil Aviation Code.

Notes for French companies

To qualify for the exemption, French companies are required to provide SEALAPB's Customer Billing Department with a certificate valid for the current year, certifying that their international traffic services represent at least 80% of the services they operate.

In the absence of this certificate, SEALAPB will apply VAT at the standard rate to its invoices. In this case, no adjustment can be made to invoices already issued, and the VAT exemption will only be effective from the date of dispatch of the certificate, as evidenced by the postmark.

Notes for chartered aircraft or flights operated on behalf of another company

In all cases, the application of V.A.T. depends on the system to which the company invoiced for airport services is subject.
