Business Jet bill

In order to be able to claim this allowance, however, you cannot have made a legally enforceable commitment in writing with the vendor before 27 September 2017. In the past, you were automatically granted a 50 per cent discount in the first year in addition top the normal amortization plan.

It was only possible to apply this reduction to new planes, and the figure was to fall to 30 per cent in 2019. According to the new Act, the 100 per cent reduction in bonuses will be gradually reduced in steps of 20 per cent per annum between 2022 and 2026. Before the new Act comes into force, you can postpone the profits subject to tax from the sales of your business jet if you buy another jet to substitute it - a "similar" trade.

If you now realise a profit from the purchase of your plane, the profit is fully subject to taxation at a normal personal revenue brackets set, regardless of whether you replace the plane with another purchase. According to the new law, if you have appointed a managing body to assist your airplane, you will still be paying the non-commercial airline jet propellant duty - not the 7.5% Federal Transportation Excise Duty (FET).

The IRS published a note in 2012 stating that airline managers should charge their owners/passengers the FET or ticketing fee, which is 7.5% of the air fare. Therefore, managing societies may be responsible for years of back payments of taxation which could have pushed them out of business or obliged them to transfer the cost of taxation to their customers - airline operators and passenger.

Legislation used to allow you to subtract business maintenance costs that were directly related or associated with the running of a business, but now you cannot subtract any maintenance costs. That means that the costs of jet travel associated with your company's direct related programs are no longer taxable.

Under the new Act, various individual allowances will be eliminated, to include employees' operating expenditure. Revisions are pertinent if you - not your business - own an airplane and have subtracted the cost associated with the airplane from your employees' operating expenditures under the old laws. For example, this could be the case with a start-up where an aeroplane on the company's accounts would have a negative effect on the evaluation of the business, but the individual who created and managed the business is rich enough to own an aeroplane.
