Don’t pay taxes (FET and state sales tax) that you don’t owe!
Where will you take delivery of your new aircraft? How will you operate – Part 91 or Part 135?

Depending on which state serves as the home base of the aircraft, an owner could completely eliminate sales and use tax liability for qualifying business aircraft or defer that tax liability. Understanding your state’s available tax exemptions and planning to meet the exemptions prior to purchasing an aircraft is paramount. Whether you want to operate your aircraft under Part 91 or Part 135, we can provide you with a plan to keep your liability at an acceptable level. Carriere & Little can help design a tax plan that works with you and eliminates the possibility of paying taxes you do not owe.
