Aircraft

Clipper Tax Consulting’s aircraft tax specialists can legally save you thousands of dollars on your aircraft purchase by assisting you in obtaining an aircraft sales tax exemption or aircraft use tax exemption from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.

The purchase of an aircraft which will be used in the State of California is subject to sales tax or use tax depending on the nature of the transaction. There are many legal ways to avoid aircraft sales tax or use tax in California. Our aircraft sales tax service can help you navigate the very complex sales and use tax laws, regulations, policies and procedures governing these transactions and document the use of your aircraft to make sure you receive an exemption. Whether you are buying a Gulfstream, Cessna, Beechcraft, Eclipse, Cirrus, Diamond or Piper, there is an exemption which could work for you. There are aircraft sales tax exemptions and aircraft use tax exemptions for both personal use aircraft as well as business use aircraft. The following sales and use tax exemptions are currently available for aircraft:

  • 12-Month Out-of-State Use and Storage Test
  • Six Month Interstate Commerce Test
  • 12-Month Common Carrier Test
  • Family Transactions
  • Transfers to Commencing Corporations, LLCs, etc.
