In Rhode lsland, the buyer is responsible for a sales or use tax. Doesn't matter who or where you bought it from.
I think they nail you even if you've owned the airplane then move it into the state.

Hello. I live in Illinois. I am in the process of selling my
Cherokee 180. Does anyone know if there are sales tax implications
for the seller? Does it matter if I sell the plane in-state,
out-of-state, or to a corporation?

When I purchased, I bought the plane from an individual who lived in
Illinois (and based the plane here), so no sales tax was due.

Thanks,
Nathan

Nathan,

I'm based in Illinois also. The buyer is liable for the sales tax.
If the aircraft is purchased from an indivual (rather than a broker or
dealer, etc.) the sales tax is waived. Of course the standard
disclaimers apply, you know, check with a tax consultant, attorney,
etc.
