EXPLANATORY NOTES <strong>OF</strong><br />

COUNTRY INFORMATION RECORD FORMS<br />

The following are explanatory notes of the country information record forms. It should be noted<br />

that the information provided in the forms is based upon data available to <strong>IATA</strong>. Therefore, the<br />

information may not always be totally complete. The information for each tax, charge or fee for<br />

each country has been entered onto a standardized form for the sake of quick and easy reference.<br />

The headings of the form as well as their meanings are as follows:<br />

ISO COUNTRY CODE: International Standards Organization (ISO) two-letter country code.<br />

STATE CODE: International Standards Organization (ISO) two-letter state code<br />

(U.S.A. and Canada).<br />

TAX/CHARGE/FEE (TCF)<br />

First Line: Official name of the tax, charge or fee.<br />

Second Line: Repetition of full country name.<br />

Third Line: Airport name (if the tax, charge or fee is applicable specifically to<br />

that airport) as well as the airport three-letter code in brackets.<br />

Tax Code: The ticketing code as assigned by <strong>IATA</strong> Passenger Services<br />

Conference Resolution 728 (see pages 19 - 20 for a complete list of<br />

such codes).<br />

TCF Type: <strong>IATA</strong> internal code, for administrative purposes only (see pages 5 -<br />

7 for further details).<br />

Definition: General description and purpose (if available) of the tax, charge or<br />

fee.<br />

NB: Based upon information received by <strong>IATA</strong>, it may be<br />

indicated that some taxes, charges or fees are to be collected at<br />

ticket sale/issuance irrespective of the place of sale/issue. In this<br />

regard, it is questionable whether an authority may require and/or<br />

enforce the collection of a tax outside the country of its jurisdiction.<br />

Accordingly, <strong>IATA</strong>’s reproduction of such information herein<br />

should not be interpreted or construed that <strong>IATA</strong> endorses, requires<br />

and/or subscribes to such extra-territorial collection<br />

APPLICABLE TO: This field indicates the party to whom the tax, charge or fee applies,<br />

i.e. who is required to pay the impost and whether for international<br />

or domestic travel or transportation.
