I'm actually torn on this. Lower taxes, yes. But, will FedEx pass the savings to their customers?
Is something really broken here? Or is there more that the Governor ain't telling?

Taxes are too high if games like this need to be played.

The Commercial Appeal reports that FedEx on average pays up to three-quarters of the total 4.5-cent-per-gallon tax collected by the state each year. Well, do they use three-quarters of the total aviation fuel sold in the state each year? I would suspect yes, or close to it.

How long before “take home pay” is all “tax breaks”?

The gov't should not play favorites; lover the tax for all businesses, not just one.

There is a surcharge on each package based upon the rate that FedEx charges, so I suspect it will (at least in part) pass on to the customers. Living in Memphis, I might be able to scrounge up an official answer. I don’t know.

When you give this tax break to one company but not others, it is nothing less than corporate welfare.

This is no different than a tax passed to specifically target one group or individual.
If FedEx pays 75% of the total collected that’s just wrong.
