Aircraft and Vessel transactions have some unusual conditions that, when handled correctly, can be exempt from the sales tax liability. By utilizing our experience and resources, we will analyze your transaction by correlating the sales and use tax laws with your personal circumstances and needs. Based on our review of the details of your acquisition and intended use, we will provide you with a detailed, yet flexible, written analysis which will guide you through the complex maze of California’s sales and use tax laws and regulations. This analysis, when implemented properly will result in the acquisition being exempt from the imposition of California sales and use tax. ASTC can even guarantee these results provided the buyer contracts with ASTC prior to making their purchase.

ASTC can work with buyers, sellers or dealers of aircraft and vessels to insure that all parties comply with all facets of the sales & use tax laws and regulations.

"Even though I’m a CPA, I don’t bother with doing this myself because the laws are fairly technical and they’re changing all the time. The obtaining, retaining and conveying of the records is quite significant. So it is much easier to retain someone who is based in Sacramento, who can easily go to the hearings, walk your stuff in, and quickly respond when necessary. Overall, ASTC saved us about a million dollars in potential sales tax. In the grand scheme of things, that’s pretty fantastic."
