House votes to extend tax break for jet companies

The Georgia House easily approved making permanent a tax break for customers of luxury jet makers like Gulfstream on Monday.

The tax break - which is set to expire next year - would save customers who fly into Georgia to get maintenance at businesses like Gulfstream $29 million to $40 million a year. Backers said making the tax break permanent would help companies like Gulfstream keep business in the state.

The House approved House Bill 933 by a 163-10 count.
