A.N.N. BUSTED! Just Bought A Plane? STAY OUT OF FLORIDA !
Hey folks, I thought you would all like to know that the story about the
Meridian and Cirrus owners getting hit with Florida state sales or use tax for allegedly doing nothing more than stopping there is actually A REPEAT FROM MAY 2007! Here's the original story (NOTE THE ARTICLE DATE): http://www.aero-news.net/news/genav....4039&Dynamic=1 Okay - now - why is the story being rehashed at just this time? Any of you students of life care to raise a hand and give an answer? ;-) Oh yeah - and my suspicion that the Piper Meridian was actually a sale of a new aircraft from a Florida based company (and therefore reasonably subject to Florida sales tax) is hinted at by these quotes from that article: "... Piper is reportedly NOT pleased about the Meridian tax bill noted above ... We have a feeling that Piper CEO Jim Bass may have a few things to say, as a result of these recent events, since anyone taking delivery at a Florida Piper plant may find themselves with a tax bill, even if they leave the state right away and never darken the state's borders again." So basically the article all but admits the buyer of that ~$1.9M Piper Meridian[1] took delivery in Florida. No wonder someone well heeled enough to afford that kind of plane didn't try very hard to contest the 6% sales tax (~$114,000). [1] http://www.newpiper.com/aircraft/mer...ifications.asp |
