AIRCRAFT TAX PLANNING and potential realization of tax benefi ts from any previously suspended losses. The table below illustrates a typical gain calculation without consideration of recapture taxation. The example assumes the taxpayer purchased the aircraft for $625,000 and had in prior years depreciated $499,000 of that original cost. Associated with the sale, the taxpayer expended $50,000 in listing fees, commissions, and other selling expenses. Tax-Free Exchange If you are selling your aircraft in order to purchase a different aircraft, you may be able to structure the transaction in what is known as a tax-free exchange. The tax code under Section 1031 allows taxpayers to exchange like-kind business property without recognizing any gain at the time of the exchange. Generally, the taxpayer has 45 days after the sale of the original aircraft in which to identify the replacement aircraft. Once identifi ed, there is a 180-day window from the time of the sale in which to close on the replacement aircraft. These rules must be followed precisely. The correct structuring of a tax-free exchange can be complex. Taxpayers are encouraged to seek professional advice well in advance of the transaction. � 28 Aviation Insurance & Risk Management Up-To-Date News & Feature Articles For Turbine and Hi-Performance Piston Twin Operators • Cheyenne • Conquest • King Air • Mitsubishi MU-2 • Navajo • Cessna 300 and 400 Pressurized Twins The Jemar Company Aviation Publications Post Office Box 460 Valdosta, GA 31603 Tel: 229.244.1568 Fax: 229.244.2604 email: jemops@att.net website: www.opsgroups.com
