What determines sale location? (sales/use taxes)

So, "where" does this airplane sale take place? Is it wherever the keys
get
handed to me? Is it DE, since that's where the owning entity exists? CT,
since that's where the plane's based? Whatever we write in a purchase
agreement?

Note the Big Boys take over ownership from Boeing well out over the
ocean, for this very reason. I read a WSJ article on same. Needless
to say, the aircraft is full of lawyers:



Wow, I'd never heard of that. My Google skills are apparently lacking--do
you have a link for that article, I'd be interested in reading it.

I'd never even considered an airborne sale. Not terribly practical in a
light single, but tantalizing nonetheless.... Thanks for the info!

I may have hit "send" too quickly--search turned up this when I took _Wall

Very interesting.... If anyone has a link to an article that goes more
in-depth on Boeing (and the aircraft-specific angle), please post!

One prospective plane I'm looking at is for sale in Connecticut (currently
based there). The current ownership is in a Delaware LLC (of a sole
proprietor, who is flying/basing the plane out of CT). Connecticut has 6%
sales tax that apparently applies to even "casual and isolated sales" of
aircraft; Delaware has no sales tax. I'll leave it as an exercise for the
reader to decide which I find more appealing....

When I lived in BC, I was told by a local that lots of Boeing planes
are delivered at Abbotsford, BC for the purpose of dodging US/
Washington state taxes.

Many Boeing airplanes are "delivered" on a flight over the international
waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Ok, so I live in Oregon, just a couple of miles from "international waters",
and in a state that has no use tax or sales tax. Can I accept "delivery" for
a nominal fee, and help a buyer avoid, not evade, taxes?

got my ducky suit, ready to be delivered...
