When you pay excise is aircraft greater than 6,000lbs, that's why Eclipse was trying to keep it under that mark. C421's have that fee attached when I worked at my old job. The fee was attached directly to the bid. Say the trip was 550nm round trip @ $3.41/nm. Your charge would be $1875.50 + $140.66 in excise tax. Now if you have a "in position" leg and "empty" legs, I honestly don't know if you can get out of those or not. As far as I knew, we just charged for the whole trip regardless, and then there's no questions. I'm just a pilot, and never did the bookwork, but I did use our quote system and it just ties it all in.
