Abstract:

Civil aviation international freight rates and taxes are an important source of increasing national fiscal revenue, but
due to differences in tax policies among different countries and regions, as well as differences in tax rules among
different airlines, civil aviation international freight rates and taxes need to be calculated through multiple channels
and data sources, which greatly reduces user experience. To provide effective theoretical and practical guidance for
industry-related personnel, this article is based on the changes in international freight rates and taxes calculation
rules and methods. Firstly, the evolution process of civil aviation international freight rates and taxes from manual
calculation to automation and intelligence is systematically reviewed, with a focus on the series of work carried out
by Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCO) in establishing unified technical specifications and management
standards for civil aviation international freight rates and taxes. Secondly, a work case of TravelSky Technology
Limited (abbreviated as China TravelSky) implementing automatic calculation of taxes and fees in civil aviation
international fare search was introduced. Finally, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on the impact of new
taxes, new technologies, and new policies on the international freight rates and taxes of civil aviation.
