Jay R. Longley, CEO of Rainbow Sandals, stated “The people at Aero & Marine Tax Professionals are really good and walk you through the steps. When I had problems they helped and baby-sat us through it. We saved about $23,000.00 (California state sales tax) by using the services of Aero & Marine. It was a good experience.”
Rainbow Sandals, founded in 1974, markets their sandal products to 5,000 domestic and worldwide retailers, including the countries of Spain, France, New Zealand, Tahiti and Guam. CEO Longley uses his Lancair aircraft to scout new retail locations in California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. In addition to his high performance Lancair, Longley recently purchased another aircraft and has again retained the services of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals to guide him through the labyrinth of the California State Board of Equalization sales tax requirements.
Thomas Alston, President of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated “Despite the current financial crisis, the opportunities in the personal and business aircraft sector for tax savings is expanding. We have the knowledge, experience and expertise to help purchasers of aircraft in California and Arizona to legally avoid paying aircraft sales tax. But the purchaser has to follow our instructions to the letter and we have to be involved at the beginning of the process.”
Aero & Marine Tax Professionals shows purchasers how to avoid California aircraft tax and to make certain the full value of their next aircraft, vehicle or vessel goes into their pocket--not the Government's. They have successfully filed hundreds of tax returns with the California State Board of Equalization. Mr. Alston has also published many articles on sales and use tax.
