Aircraft Exemptions | Tax Consultants | Aircraft Tax Help

Associated Sales Tax Consultants' (ASTC) Aircraft Exemption Program is designed to help taxpayers legally avoid California sales and use taxes on the purchase of their aircraft. Moreover, by allowing ASTC to assist you throughout the exemption process, you can save between 8.25% and 10.75% of the purchase price of your aircraft. ASTC's success in eliminating the sales or use tax liability on an aircraft purchase is unparalleled in the industry. That is, we have successfully eliminated the tax on every aircraft purchase, without failure, when we were retained in the beginning to assist in the planning and structure of the aircraft acquisition. Even if we are retained after the aircraft purchase, our record of tax savings is impressive. Our experts have prevailed in securing tax savings for our clients on average of over 80% of the tax as originally imposed by the taxing agency. We work as a team with you and your staff, tailor every engagement to fit the unique needs of your situation, while maintaining compliance with the sales and use tax laws. We shield you from the intense government scrutiny and the burden of dealing with the tax auditor yourself.
