A use tax in Texas?? Can you give me some reference on this. They started going after sales tax in '07. But there's no other tax on airplanes that I'm aware of.

But who knows - we've let so many people into Texas over the last few decades from other states that the taxation momentum is beginning to increase, "just like we used to do it back east" and "back up north".

If a Texas buyer buys the aircraft from a seller located in Texas, then it's called "sales tax". If a Texas buyer buys the aircraft from a seller located in another state and brings the aircraft into Texas as the aircraft's new home state, then it's called "use tax".

Default North Carolina Tax

Bill,

In NC you only pay a county personnal property tax. This year I paid $172 on a stated value of $26,700 for my RV-8. Since I don't fly out of a public airport I might have gone on forever without the tax man knowing I owned an airplane. (Most county tax assessors require PUBLIC airport managers to report the N-numbers of every airplane on the property each year.) I decided not to risk having to pay back taxes, interest and fines if I was somehow found out, so I marched down to the county tax assessors office and presented a few receipts for major kit items (fuselage kit, engine core,etc.). There were three clerks at the assessor's office and I waited until the little old lady was available, turned on the charm and presented her with my small handful of receipts. She was pleased; I was relieved and the fear of back taxes, interest and fines is forever behind me.

Default As parts or whole

Watch out for some states that have 2 different rates. One for parts and one for an entire airplane. In Mississippi, sales tax for parts are at 6% (7% for my county) but the entire airplane is 3%.

Hmm. In Colorado, the oft-repeated phrase (especially in the ski towns) is, "They've let so many people out of Texas over the last few decades that....."

for texas sales read the section entitled "Exemption as Occasional Sale" If you buy from a private party the sale is generally sales tax free.

7% sales tax. Excise tax on 1600 lbs for say 55K is around say $20 per year, plus the $10 registration fee. So, once one "swallows" the sales tax, it's smooth sailing. There are states that are far worse.

Default When is PA use tax paid?

I'm bringing in a 7A to an airport in PA from DE where I live and build the plane. DE doesn't have sales tax, but I know PA has a use tax. When does this need to be paid? When the plane project is brought to the airport hangar or when it gets a N-number after registration? Also, do I use form REV-832 for the taxes or the standard use-tax form PA-1?

Are there any other aircraft taxes or fees in PA? Couldn't find anything else.

Thanks
Andre

LUCKY DUCK! Sorta wish I was the one getting the 7A...uh, but not for the taxes (most likely)! Ok, your state IRS will have a department dealing with taxable aviation. You call them and they'll tell you where, what and when. You will have an online form you can open, print, fill out and whatever else it is you need to do. That's about all I can tell you. Uh, and don't wait for them to contact you or there'll be associated late fees to go along with it. It may sound I'm with the IRS...rather I've researched my tail off on this, awaiting to be in your shoes....cheeers
