A question for those of you who have more experience on the subject than I do.
I am a FL resident, planning to buy an airplane and keep it in TX.
The FL use tax specifically states that if the sale occurs in state or the aircraft is brought into the state within 6 months of the sale, then the use tax is due. That won't be an issue, because I don't plan on taking the plane down to FL (although I am sure they are going to try anyway and convincing them that the plane never entered the state may be an interesting battle).
TX has a use tax as well which is due if the plane spends more than 50% of the first year or is ever hangared in state. My question: is the tax intended only for TX residents bringing aircraft in? Anyone have experience with a similar situation or have some light to shed on the issue?
