Charges, taxes and the economics of infrastructure →
The inspected Doc 9082 Foreword distinguishes a charge intended to recover costs of aviation facilities or services from a tax intended to raise general public revenue. This is a useful conceptual starting point for reading an airport invoice or policy debate. It is not a rule for deciding the legal classification of every real payment.
