Aero And Marine Tax Professionals Helps Real Estate Business Obtain Tax Exemption on Plane Purchase

Real Estate Development Company Get Sales Tax Exemption on Purchase of Cessna P210N Airplane

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/) recently helped a northern California real estate development company receive a tax exemption on the purchase of Cessna P210N airplane, from the California Board of Equalization (BOE).

An executive from the real estate development company stated: “I needed the plane to have a way to get to properties out of state. Flying commercial would take a full day rather than half a day, to some of our properties. This spring I had to take the plane to Maine. Someone had backed into the steps of one of our properties in a hit-and-run situation, and I urgently needed to get there to see the police report and talk to the person on-site. I was able to get there within a day. If I had flown commercial, I would have had to take a plane to Boston, and then drive a rental car up to Maine. It would have added at least a full day to the effort. There was another instance, a piece of property came on the market in Driggs, Idaho. Our agent called us, and I was able to get on the plane the next day, got there, saw the property, and got back home all in the same day. That would have taken at least a day and a half flying commercial. We found Aero & Marine Tax Professionals on the internet. I saw an excerpt online from a seminar they were doing. Then I called and talked to them for at least 45 minutes. I felt comfortable and confident that the process would be successful. Interaction was always positive and informative. I'm very happy with everything. I would absolutely recommend them to others. One guy I spoke to has already gotten in touch with them. He just bought a helicopter. I'm getting their name out.”

Tom Alston, founder of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated: “Everyone who has given thought to using an aircraft in their business has their specific reasons for it. But when they move from the planning stages into the buying process they should certainly contact a tax professional, because you can legally avoid paying sales and use tax on the purchase. But you have to make sure everything is set up and the data is being collected properly from the beginning. Then the whole case is easily handled and a sales and use tax exemption can be obtained.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals shows purchasers specifically 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 nearly a thousand tax returns with the California State Board of Equalization. Mr. Alston has also published many articles on sales and use tax.

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Helps Pilot Secures Tax Exemption On Airplane

Aero And Marine Tax Professionals Win RV-12 Aircraft Sales Tax Exemption Case

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/) recently assisted a pilot in obtaining a tax exemption on the purchase of a RV-12 airplane, from the California Board Of Equalization (BOE).

The pilot, David Cooper, stated: “We purchased the aircraft for recreation. We used the provision in the rules that would allow us to take the year long principal use exemption if we left the aircraft outside the state of California for over a full year. I couldn't afford the more than $8,000 in taxes, based on the budget I had originally set aside for the purchase of the airplane. I think it's valuable to note that Aero & Marine were willing to advise me initially at no cost. That put me in a position where I could decide whether I wanted their firm to take me on as a client. That was very valuable to me – that they were willing to listen to my story, tell me in what ways they could help me, and not charge me for that. The number one thing that convinced me was their record of success. Then there was the really long process of gathering records. I would absolutely recommend them to others!. I just moved the plane into the state, and I'll probably be bragging about how much money they saved me. I'm so glad I met them!”

Tom Alston, founder of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated: “It’s sometimes surprising to people how much they can save on a plane with a sales and use tax exemption. I have run into many pilots and companies who do not feel it is possible due to all of the regulations required in the field. But if we are contacted early on in the process then we can ensure a successful result is gotten for the sales and use tax exemption of a plane.”

Investment Company Gets Sales Tax Exemption On Newly Purchased Airplane

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Assists Investment Company Get Sales Tax Exemption on Beechcraft King Air B200 Airplane

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/) assisted an investment company in obtaining a sales and use tax exemption from the California Board Of Equalization, (BOE) on the purchase of a Beechcraft King Air B200 airplane.

An executive from the company, stated: “The business reason we needed the aircraft is about half of my business ventures are in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, so we needed the aircraft to solve a major transportation problem. Commercial air service is available, but it would expand my travel time by a couple days. Where I live is a small town two hours or so from Steamboat, and while there is commercial service, it isn't that good. And it's also about three hours from Denver, so just getting there would consume a whole day. We've used Aero & Marine Tax Professionals for several other aircraft, we're a repeat customer. Everything went smooth, the only time delay was from the state. I would definitely recommend them to others.”

Tom Alston, founder of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated: “This case went as smoothly as the others we have run for this company. When people find out how much they can save and how simple a process it can be, they do not hesitate to apply for the exemption. But it's vital to involve a company like us who thoroughly knows all the latest rules and regulations.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Helps Farming & Real Estate Business Obtain Sales Tax Exemption

Company Successfully Gets Sales & Use Tax Exemption On Purchase Of New Citation Jet

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/) assisted a farming and real estate business to obtain a tax exemption from the California Board Of Equalization, (BOE) on the purchase of a new Cessna Citation XLS+ jet.

An executive from the company stated: “I needed to see customers in remote areas, which was the main business reason we needed the aircraft. If I went commercial, I would need to take multiple flights. With the new aircraft, we can go direct to local runways. We got in touch with Aero & Marine Tax Professionals via our airplane broker. I thought the process went really smoothly. I had done a couple airplanes in the past with the rules of keeping it out of state for a period of time, etc. I'm a one-man tax department, so I was looking for more assistance. Their guidance was perfect on all the ins and outs and the funny rules that now exist. I was able to explain that to our pilot who kept saying, 'Why do I have to do this?' It was actually really helpful having the spreadsheets that Aero & Marine provided. It made it easy to keep track of everything. I'd seen that they'd done lots of other aircraft, so when I started in on this one, I didn't have any uncertainty. Being a 'tax guy' myself, I can really appreciate their preloaded forms - it made it easier on me that I didn't have to do that from scratch. I would recommend them to others.”

Tom Alston, founder of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated: “It’s interesting that even a professional in the tax industry who does not specialize in this field may have trouble when attempting to get a sales and use tax exemption on an aircraft purchase. The rules really have changed in recent years, and if you work with a firm like ours that has kept up to date on each change in tax rules in California, then there is no worry. We thought the process went very smoothly.”

Money Management Company Legally Avoids Tax on Aircraft Purchase

Aero And Marine Tax Professionals Assists Money Management and Real Estate Business with Purchase of Cessna Citation CJ2

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com) recently assisted a northern California company in obtaining a tax exemption on the purchase of a new Citation Citation CJ2 jet. The company, Ambrose-Anderson, is in the money management and real estate business and needed the plane to meet customers and visit locations. The tax exemption was obtained from the California Board of Equalization.

An executive from the company stated: “The aircraft replaced our previous aircraft that was less capable. We needed a more proficient aircraft to expedite our business purposes. We do business in Denver, CO; Calgary, Canada and places where the Citation 501 would be short-legged coming home and had old technology. We thought it was an opportune time to make the change. The experience with Aero & Marine Tax Professionals was so smooth and simple that I hadn’t given it much thought. It was very straightforward, they have a very streamlined approach. It makes it very simple for the operator to not have to go back and find the right paperwork. It was all laid out in front of us before we started using the aircraft, which made it really simple and efficient going forward. I would absolutely recommend Aero & Marine Tax Professionals to others.”

Tom Alston, founder of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated “We have evolved a system that makes it as easy as possible for an aircraft purchaser to support a claim for an exemption with the California Board of Equalization. It's completely legal and we have handled close to 1,000 cases so far and have been successful on every one. But it's ideal to bring us in at the beginning of the sales cycle."

Aircraft Manager Turns To Aero & Marine Tax Professionals for Tax Exemption

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Assists Company in Obtaining Sales and Use Tax Exemption for Purchase of Cessna 414A Airplane

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com) recently assisted a mid-California aircraft management company to obtain a tax exemption on the purchase of a Cessna 414A airplane for their client. The aircraft manager, a previous client of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, referred their client to Aero & Marine, who guided the case successfully through the California Board of Equalization obtaining the sales and use tax exemption.

A representative from the aircraft management company stated “By referring our client to Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, they were our backup to make sure we were doing everything right. We knew our client could save a considerable amount of money by getting the tax exemption. While we know the process, Aero & Marine Tax Professionals knows it better. We’ve used them in the past and we were referred to them a long time ago. I’d definitely recommend them to others. Actually we’re using them on two different airplane purchases right now.”

Tom Alston, founder of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated: “You have to really know the ins and outs of the tax codes if you’re going to deal with the California Board of Equalization. You may be in the right on the case, but there’s no substitute for knowing everything about the laws, as every detail really does have to be documented correctly. That’s why aircraft purchasers turn to us time after time, because we have the familiarity needed in the field to obtain a successful sales and use tax exemption.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Gets Sales Tax Ruling Overturned

Company Secures Sales and Use Tax Exemption on Aircraft After Review of Case by CA Board of Equalization

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/) recently assisted an aircraft resale company in Texas in getting a ruling reversed by the California Board of Equalization (BOE) and won the case for a sales and use tax exemption on behalf of the company. The aircraft was a Cessna Citation S550 jet.

An executive from the company stated: “We purchased an aircraft in California and took possession when we closed on the sale. Then we found out that the State of California wanted to charge us sales tax on the aircraft to the extent of about $46,000. We're in the business of purchasing aircraft for resale, but they attempted to charge us anyway. The original seller contacted Aero & Marine Tax Professionals on our behalf, as he was already using their service. Then we began the process of removing this tax liability. It took over a year, but that was due to the fact that California wanted proof that we hadn't taken it back into California. Aero & Marine got the tax liability removed. Everything went very smoothly with them; any delays were due to the State of California. We would recommend Aero & Marine to others.”

Tom Alston, President of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated: “It is a little more complicated to get a case overturned that has already been ruled where our client owes use tax on an airplane, and get that aircraft an exemption. But we have handled cases like this before and we know the ropes. The client was very willing to work with us and go through every step of the process needed to overturn the ruling, and so the case came out fine.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Helps Investment Company Get Sales Tax Exemption on Airplane

California Investment Company Receives Sales Tax Exemption on Purchase of Cessna T303 Plane

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/) recently helped a California investment company to obtain a sales and use tax exemption on the purchase of a 1982 Cessna T303 airplane.

An executive from the investment company stated: “We needed the plane to see our clients. Also it gave me the safety of a twin-engine aircraft, as I already have a single-engine one. It was far more convenient. Most of my meetings are rather last minute and aren’t necessarily into big hubs. For example, Sedona in Arizona. Cabo is a bigger hub but it is mostly a question of being able to go anywhere necessary; convenience, smaller airports and last minute scheduling. We had been referred to Aero & Marine Tax Professionals by some people in Washington at Aero Law. It is a pain to log all this time; the rules of the state are involved, but Aero & Marine was easy to work with. I have already recommended them to another.”

Founder of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, Mr. Tom Alston, stated: “Our efforts to assist companies in getting a sales or use tax exemption are made possible by the coordination with the company we are working with, and also our years of experience and base of knowledge on the subject of the tax codes of the state of California. That experience, more than anything else, has been the primary reason we have had such success in our client cases.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Helps Produce Company Obtain Sales/Use Tax Exemption on Airplane

Southern California Produce Company Gets Sales/Use Tax Exemption on Purchase of Beechcraft Baron Airplane

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com), a tax consulting firm, recently assisted a produce company located in southern California to obtain a sales/use tax exemption from the California Board of Equalization on the purchase of a Beechcraft Baron.

A company executive, Mark Vestal, stated: “We needed the aircraft so we could be able to travel between growing areas in a timely manner. We are in the produce business, and we wouldn’t be able to do trips in one day on commercial airlines. With our own airplane we would be able to fly both to Arizona and inspect produce there and then fly to, say, Salinas in the same day to meet growers and shippers there. We saw Aero & Marine Tax Professionals advertised on the internet, so we called them up. We got a personal assistant from the company that helped us through the process. It gave a much better understanding of the tax liabilities and what needs to be done through this process, I actually learned a lot. We recommend them to others. It sure worked for us!”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals founder, Tom Alston, stated “Many people who purchase aircraft aren’t aware that there are totally legal ways to avoid the sales/use tax on an aircraft, which can amount to between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. But equally unknown is the fact that you have to work with an expert from the very beginning of the purchase cycle, in order to be certain of getting an exemption.”
