Indiana Use Tax

I got shafted in MD. I had owned my 172 for two years before my work forced
me to move there. They used the FAA aircraft database to find me and nail me
for $1,200.

like a herd of buffalo to pay a 6% use tax on the value of the a/c

because I moved it across the line.

Usually sales/use tax applies on a change of ownership. How long have
you
owned this airplane before you moved it into Indiana? California is
notorious for its collection of use tax, but if you've owned a piece of
property for at least 3-6 months before it comes into the state, there
is no
taxable transaction.

There is no time limit, there is however a credit for any sales/use tax
you
paid to another jurisdition.
