Classic Automobile Restorer Receives Tax Exemption On Aircraft

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Help Northern CA Company Get Exemption on Piper Meridian Plane

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, Inc., (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/) an aircraft and marine tax specialist company in northern California, recently helped a classic automobile restorer receive a tax exemption from the California Board of Equalization on the purchase of a Piper Meridian plane.

An executive from the company stated: “We have a business up in Idaho where we restore classic automobiles, and also have some multi-family real estate projects out of state. The aircraft is used for both businesses. I fly to Idaho for the restoration business, and I also fly to several states to look for multi-family properties. I got the information on Aero & Marine Tax Professionals from a friend. My initial contact with them was simple and straightforward. They gave us a good rundown of what their program consisted of, it was clear and concise, and I found the rest of their organization was the same. They told me what needed to be done and their follow-through was very good. I would absolutely recommend them to others!”

Tom Alston, founder and CEO of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated: “There are many different scenarios of aircraft ownership in terms of where it is purchased and where it is used. Even if an owner takes possession of an aircraft in another state and hangars it in another state, there are instances where California may come after you for tax on the aircraft. They are being very aggressive in finding additional aircraft owners on which to assess sales and use tax. That's why companies should come to us before they purchase an aircraft. We know all the ways of legally avoiding sales tax on an aircraft purchase in California."

An executive from the company stated: “We thank Aero & Marine Tax Professionals for getting us approved for the airplane sales and use tax exemption. It took a lot of work on their part and our personnel to complete this process. lf you keep good records, it proves that together you can make this happen. The exemption saved our company hundreds of thousands of dollars. We fly to most of the western states for business and we farm in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Nevada. There are very few airports in the areas where we go that you can commercially fly into. By using the Pilatus, it saves us hundreds of hours in travel. I would recommend the Aero & Marine Tax Professionals without hesitation.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Helps Window Company Receive Tax Exemption on Aircraft Purchase

Window Manufacturing Company Receives Tax Exemption on Purchase of Piper Mirage Airplane

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 Help Consulting Company Get Tax Exemption on Plane

Building Consulting Business Obtains Tax Exemption On Purchase of Columbia Aircraft

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/), an aircraft and marine tax specialist company in northern California, recently assisted a building consulting company receive a tax exemption on the purchase of a Columbia aircraft.

An executive from the company stated: “We’re in a building consulting business and we do work all along the west coast. We’ve now opened up shop and are doing business in Utah and Idaho also. Opening up shop in Utah and Idaho with very remote locations precipitated the aircraft purchase. It is simply much easier to get to places like Cedar City or St George, Utah directly than it is to take a commercial flight to Las Vegas and drive two hours to get to such places. We started this process well over a year ago. We were in a pre-purchase state with two or three partners. One of the dealers we were working with recommended Aero & Marine Tax Professionals."

“It seemed fairly simple at that point in time. I think they pre-evaluated whether we could get the exemption or not, and when I described to them what our mission was for the airplane, they felt confident that we could get the exemption. The experience was pretty seamless. I very rarely actually talked to them, but they sent me information whenever I needed and I sent the information along on time. It just seemed seamless, and it made my job easier. I would recommend them to others, as a matter of fact we were originally going to do this with partners, though we did this purchase by ourselves. But the partners know about Aero & Marine Tax Professionals and I’m sure that they’ll be one of their first calls if they do decide to go forward.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals CEO, Tom Alston, stated: “We’re very pleased the case went well. After we assess a case to see if a tax exemption is possible, if all looks affirmative, then the rest is pretty downhill. We stay up-to-date on all of the California aircraft tax codes and regulations so we know with each client how to avoid sales and use tax legally on the purchase of an aircraft.”

Tax Firm Assists Aircraft Company With Tax Exemption

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Helps Client Secure Tax Exemption On Antique Piper Airplane

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/), an aircraft and marine vessel tax specialist company, recently assisted an aircraft manufacturing company in obtaining a tax exemption on an older Piper airplane. The plane will go in the aircraft company’s museum, located in Victoria, Texas. Aero & Marine Tax Professionals represented the company before the California Board of Equalization (BOE) and assisted in preparing documentation for the case, which concluded successfully for the company in receiving an exemption on California state sales tax.

An executive from the aircraft manufacturing company stated: “The aircraft was one of the last of its kind, and I wanted to put it in my museum. It will eventually end up back in Pennsylvania. I got a notice from the California government wanting me to pay taxes on the plane. I didn’t receive it in California, and it was even outside California when I closed the transaction. Aero & Marine Tax Professionals were recommended to me by a friend of mine. The experience went pretty well from there. This wasn’t our first rodeo. As a matter of fact, it turned out that this airplane didn’t even qualify for the California tax to begin with, it truly was an exempt airplane. Rather than me fight with them directly, it was easier to have Aero & Marine do it. I would recommend them to others.”

Tom Alston, founder and owner of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated: “This case was very interesting. It isn’t everyday we work with an antique plane like this. But in all other respects it was a standard case. We’re happy the company got its sales tax exemption."

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Help real Estate Company Get Tax Exemption on Plane

Cessna Plane Exempt From California Sales Tax Due To Efforts Of Tax Specialists Firm

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/), an aircraft and marine tax specialist company in California, recently assisted a southern California real estate business in obtaining a tax exemption on the purchase of a Cessna airplane.

Richard, an executive from the real estate company stated: “The business problem we were trying to solve with purchasing an airplane at the time was being able to find properties. I needed to be able to be on my own schedule, and go to communities that might not have a commercial airport but did have a private airport. I have purchased a few aircraft along the way, but had never pursued an exemption since those aircraft were for personal use. This one was a more expensive airplane and it met the criteria with the business use for me to not have to pay the California use tax. I found out about Aero & Marine Tax Professionals through an email. So I followed the information that they gave me, and their follow-up was great. In the end it was all worthwhile, as the BOE awarded me the sales tax exemption. When I called I always got the information I needed. Both of us were busy, but we got it done. I would most definitely recommend Aero & Marine to others.”

Tom Alston, founder and owner of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated: “If you do not seek a sales tax exemption when it is possible, you will end up paying a large chunk of money to the state that could have been avoided. We find that many companies who contact us do not know that you can legally avoid sales tax on an aircraft purchase. Those who have worked with us and received a sales tax exemption know better.”

They sent the forms quickly and answered any questions I had immediately. Throughout the whole process I always had access to their staff to make sure the forms were completely filled out and were there on a timely basis. When all the forms were completed and submitted to them, they notified us that they were filing for the exemption. And as of today, they informed us that the exemption has been granted. Their service has been outstanding, and we certainly got our dollars worth! We thank them for their excellent work.
