				Can anyone, who has any experience with sales tax after registering a finish airplane give me an advice when shopping for instruments?
 I live in CA but I can buy from company based in Oregon to avoid 9.5% or so sales tax here in CA but I know the airplane will be appraised after registering. Is it worth to do it? If it makes no or only marginal difference I'd be buying few at the time here in CA, if yes I'll wait and buy them all at once next year when my plane is ready from OR.
 
 I'm planning to register the airplane under some special name, not 601XL.
 
 Thanks

				Hi Pavel,
 
 I don't know about the situation in California.  They seem to have 
 unusual ways to tax those "Millionaires and Billionaires" they hate.
 
 In my case, I registered my home built XL and had to pay "Use tax" on 
 the parts I didn't already pay sales tax on.  I made a deal with the 
 department of revenue to agree on my estimate and pay tax accordingly.
 
 You might want to wait for your expensive avionics until after getting 
 through the extra tax event of the appraisal.  Then you can add out of 
 state avionics yourself or fly up to Oregon and have them installed.  
 Pacific Coast Avionics is a good choice of vendor to buy and install 
 such avionics.  It is located just south of Portland, OR.  I use them 
 for some purchases and also transponder certifications.  Their service 
 is great and pricing aggressive.

 Awe come on...  You live in one of the most highly taxed states in the
 union.  You must have voted or not!  To have the government that is now and
 has been in office for a long while.  So why not support the government and
 state you live in.  Everybody should pay higher taxes especially you, YOU
 own a plane.
 
 The rich don't pay taxes and neither does the poor...  Only us working
 middle class.
 
 Now, to answer your question:  
 You sell the plane as PARTS to a corporation, YOU own the corporation, You
 sell it for the value of scrap metal and parts - Say $1,000.  The
 corporation finishes building the plane at a value of say $3,000.  The
 corporation then pays the Tax on $3,000.  YOU pay the sales tax on "A
 Casual Sale" <---  Look it up.  Of $1,000 which is usually about half that
 of the state tax.  And YOU wash your hands of ownership and the problem.
  The plane belongs to a Corporation, so if you have an accident, the
 corporation can only be sued for the value of the corporation which is ONLY
 that of the plane.

 NJ has taken the next step.  They are identifying cars with bad drivers.
 You will notice some cars with a large red "R" on them.   That is to
 identify the drivers as "R"estricted.  Restricted is just a polite way of
 saying Bad Drivers.  Be cautious around them.

 Back in 2007 when I bought my 701 kit, I paid the sales tax when I filed 
 | 	  
 income tax for that year.  When I got my firewall forward kit, I also 
 paid the tax due but for some reason I got a refund of the amount I 
 submitted.  I did not argue since they know best.      No one from the 
 state (CA) ever contacted me after I finished my plane and completed the 
 registration.
 
 Your mileage may vary but that is what happened in my case.

				All the states are different.  For what it's worth, what I did in my state was submit copies of receipts for the major kit components, engine, and prop, and I highlighted the dollar amounts with a yellow highlighter, and I included a check for an amount based on that.  
 
 That satisfied the busybodies.
 
 Interestingly, a year later they assessed the value of my 601XL to be within the bracket between $499,999 and $1.2 million, and that's the bracket I'm now taxed in for annual registration fees.
 
 The $0 to $499,999 bracket is only $32 less expensive, so I just pay it.  It would cost more to fight it, and IMHO the less interaction you have with government, the better.  All I would stand to gain is a measly $32 per year, at the risk of much aggravation or worse.
 
 Enjoy these freedoms while they last.  I am sad to say that we may well be the last generation that will be allowed to build an aircraft with our own two hands, and fly it.

				Hey Pavel,    
    
 If you want to pay more taxes no one’s stopping you but get your facts straight and not just say something you’ve heard on TV.  “The rich don’t pay taxes and neither does the poor…”  
    
 You’re right about the poor, about 48% pay no Federal income tax, but the top 10% of wage earners pay over 70% of all Federal income tax.  You may not like it or believe it, but it’s a statistical fact, look it up.

 Hey             Pavel,           
           
 If             you want to pay more taxes no one’s stopping you but get             your facts straight and not just say something you’ve heard             on TV.  “The rich don’t pay taxes and neither does the             poor…”         
           
 You’re             right about the poor, about 48% pay no Federal income tax,             but the top 10% of wage earners pay over 70% of all Federal             income tax.  You may not like it or believe it, but it’s a             statistical fact, look it up.

 Awe come on...  You                 live in one of the most highly taxed states in the                 union.  You must have voted or not!  To have the                 government that is now and has been in office for a long                 while.  So why not support the government and state you                 live in.  Everybody should pay higher taxes especially                 you, YOU own a plane.             
                         
             
                         
 The rich don't pay                 taxes and neither does the poor...  Only us working                 middle class.             
                         
             
                         
 Now, to answer your                 question:             
                         
 You sell the plane                 as PARTS to a corporation, YOU own the corporation, You                 sell it for the value of scrap metal and parts - Say                 $1,000.  The corporation finishes building the plane at                 a value of say $3,000.  The corporation then pays the                 Tax on $3,000.  YOU pay the sales tax on "A Casual Sale"                 <---  Look it up.  Of $1,000 which is usually about                 half that of the state tax.  And YOU wash your hands of                 ownership and the problem.  The plane belongs to a                 Corporation, so if you have an accident, the corporation                 can only be sued for the value of the corporation which                 is ONLY that of the plane.

                  NJ has taken the next step.  They are identifying cars                 with bad drivers.  You will notice some cars with a                 large red "R" on them.   That is to identify the drivers                 as "R"estricted.  Restricted is just a polite way of                 saying Bad Drivers.  Be cautious around them.

                Hi Pavel,
                
                I don't know about the situation in California.  They seem               to have unusual ways to tax those "Millionaires and               Billionaires" they hate.
                
                In my case, I registered my home built XL and had to pay               "Use tax" on the parts I didn't already pay sales tax on.                I made a deal with the department of revenue to agree on               my estimate and pay tax accordingly.
                
                You might want to wait for your expensive avionics until               after getting through the extra tax event of the               appraisal.  Then you can add out of state avionics               yourself or fly up to Oregon and have them installed.                Pacific Coast Avionics is a good choice of vendor to buy               and install such avionics.  It is located just south of               Portland, OR.  I use them for some purchases and also               transponder certifications.  Their service is great and               pricing aggressive.

                    Can anyone, who has any experience with sales tax                   after registering a finish airplane give me an advice                   when shopping for instruments?
                    I live in CA but I can buy from company based in                   Oregon to avoid 9.5% or so sales tax here in CA but I                   know the airplane will be appraised after registering.                   Is it worth to do it? If it makes no or only marginal                   difference I'd be buying few at the time here in CA,                   if yes I'll wait and buy them all at once next year                   when my plane is ready from OR.
                    
                    I'm planning to register the airplane under some                   special name, not 601XL.
                    
                    Thanks
