Even some private IFR flights are aeronautical fee exempt provided the aircraft is below a certain weight, which covers all Mooneys and does not rack up more than $500 worth of fees in 12 months.  Under this amount the fee is waived.

This is all the result of privatisation.  Fight it tooth and nail while you can. (A conversation for another day).

My annual cost for aeronautical fees in Canada is 67.20 last year, escalating massively to 67.40 this year.  That's about the same as my annual fee for the US customs sticker.  Pretty insignificant.  The legislation/agreement states that the fees can only cover actual expenses.  No profit.  Privatisation CAN be a good thing or it CAN be an unmitigated disaster.

eg. Two of the many enforced limitations on fees that specifically relate to private GA:

charges must not be structured in such a way that a user would be encouraged to engage in practices that diminish safety for the purpose of avoiding a charge

charges in respect of recreational and private aircraft must not be unreasonable or undue
