Overview
Texas imposes sales and use tax on aircraft purchases subject to various exemptions and documentation requirements. Consult official TX resources and a qualified CPA.
Key Concepts
- Sales vs use tax: Location and delivery matter; out‑of‑state deliveries can implicate use tax rules.
- Exemptions: Certain commercial uses or resale may qualify—highly fact‑specific.
- Documentation: Bills of sale, delivery evidence, usage logs, and filings.
Official Resources
See the Texas Comptroller for current guidance: comptroller.texas.gov. Also review IRS and NBAA tax resources.
Financing & Planning
Coordinate with escrow and lender if taxes will be financed. Model cash flow in the calculator; align payment cadence with tax outlays and reserves.
