Legally avoid sales and use tax on aircraft purchases in California
(USGovernment-News.Com, May 02, 2013 ) SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/) an aircraft tax specialist firm in northern California, recently assisted a southern California glass and window manufacturing company in obtaining a tax exemption on the purchase of a Piper Mirage aircraft.
An executive from the company stated: “We're a glass and mirror fabrication company. We provide glass to local glass shops and contractors across the United States. The purchase of the aircraft provided a great convenience. We're a manufacturing company with several plants. If we want to visit several locations in one day, flying commercial would be very inconvenient and sometimes impossible. If we flew commercial, we would have to fly in and then drive for two hours to get to some of the locations. This way, we're always able to fly in and land within twenty or thirty minutes of the plant. It was imperative to have Aero & Marine Tax Professionals on board. They've done this before and they walked us through it. They were thorough and on top of it. They were always good about following up and keeping on top of things with us. There was always a lot going on, but we got it done. So I would recommend them to others.”
Tom Alston, CEO of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated: “Anyone who works with tax agencies knows that the management of the case, the preparation for it, records, etc., all has to be precise. We take this part of the business seriously, and because we know the procedures of California aircraft sales and use tax so thoroughly, it allows for the running of the entire case to be very smooth. If our assessment at the onset of the case is that a legal sales and use tax exemption is possible, then we see to it that we deliver just that.”
Aero & Marine Tax Professionals shows purchasers how to avoid aircraft tax and vessel tax in California and to make certain the full value of their next aircraft, vehicle or vessel goes into their pocket--not the government's. They have successfully filed hundreds of tax returns with the California State Board of Equalization. Mr. Alston has also published many articles on sales and use tax.
