Welcome to Clipper Tax Consulting

Do you need assistance legally avoiding California sales tax or California use tax on an aircraft, vessel or vehicle purchase?

Clipper Tax Consulting specializes in legally exempting aircraft, vessel and vehicle purchases from California sales or use tax. We are experts in this field and this is all we do. We can help you navigate the very complex sales and use tax laws, regulations, policies and procedures governing these transactions. With two decades of experience helping aircraft, vessel and vehicle owners legally avoid California sales tax or California use tax, Clipper Tax Consulting will lead you through the entire process step by step. To date, we have participated in filing hundreds of tax returns where the purchasers were able to legally avoid California sales or use tax. Our services will save you thousands of tax dollars on your aircraft, vessel or vehicle purchase.

The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) has an entire division devoted exclusively to collecting tax on aircraft, vessel and vehicle purchases. We are familiar with the policies and procedures of this division as well as the supervisors and division staff members. We know how they operate. This knowledge allows us to provide our clients with customized advice about the procedures they must follow and the documentation they must maintain to properly support a California sales tax exemption or California use tax exemption.

There are a number of different sales and use tax exemptions available depending on your circumstances. Each California sales and use tax exemption has different requirements which must be strictly followed. We review the different exemption requirements and help our clients determine which exemption will best meet their particular situation. Once the appropriate tax exemption has been chosen, we assist our clients in meeting the requirements of that particular exemption by maintaining the appropriate documentation. In addition, we will prepare and file the appropriate tax return with the CDTFA.

As part of our service, we follow up with the CDTFA until the sales or use tax exemption has been granted and we receive written notification. We handle all communication with the CDTFA staff.

You can legally avoid California sales tax or California use tax on your aircraft, vessel or vehicle purchase. Call us to find out how.
