Seems the specific exemptions are fairly clear. Based on these, there
should be no reason for fear to those going to Sun-N-Fun.- Hide quoted

Apparently some of their collectors are placing a different
interpetation on the rules.

Trying to tax an airplane (or other vehicle) legally bought and
registered in another state state would be in conflict with federal
laws concerning the 'right of free travel', i.e., you can travel
freely across state borders. They can no more tax a plane in those
circumstances than they can an automobile, boat, etc. Not to say they
can't charge user fees but that is a different animal.

Hasn't the statre of Maine been doing just that?

My copy of AOPA Pilot was in today's mail and, as of press time, the Maine
case is still going. Apparently, the Maine revenue department won't budge
and the case is now headed to court...

Not my area of expertise, so that's all I know.
