Q: Please tell us a bit about the company, including a brief history of Aviation Tax Group and an overview of your business today.
A: In 2010, my partner, Julia Chan, and I formed Aviation Tax Group to assist California aircraft owners to mitigate the sales and use tax on the purchase of aircraft. With a combined 20 years of experience, we have helped over 1,000 clients successfully obtain an exemption from California sales and use tax. Together, we work professionally with respect and diligence to earn the trust and loyalty of our clients.
We have found, over the years, that a large percentage of aircraft buyers do not realize they can exempt their aircraft purchases from California sales and use tax. Some find out they can exempt their purchase on their second or third aircraft purchase. Others try to do it on their own by researching and piecing information together from the internet, only to run into trouble or fail because of their misunderstanding of the laws and requirements. We are here to educate and assist aircraft owners on how to legally reduce their tax burdens. We provide detailed instructions and proven strategies in order to support a claim for sales and use tax exemption.
