NBAA to stage seminars on aviation tax and transactions

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) will be running a series of virtual professional development seminars, under its NBAA GO initiative, addressing common questions and concerns surrounding aircraft transactions and ownership structures and taxation, including the impacts of Covid-19.
Beginning October 13th, the Virtual Aviation Tax & Transactions Review will encompass a series of three live and three pre-recorded sessions featuring recognised leaders in aviation tax planning and transactions for an interactive analysis of critical tax and regulatory issues for aircraft owners/operators.
“The Virtual Aviation Tax & Transactions Review offers business aviation stakeholders an important opportunity to benefit from the expertise of NBAA Tax Committee members in navigating often conflicting FAA regulations and tax law,” said Scott O’Brien, NBAA’s senior director of government affairs. “Through these interactive sessions, we look forward to providing tax planning and regulatory compliance strategies that also take into account the recently passed CARES Act.”
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, is a $2.2 trillion economic stimulus bill passed by the 116th U.S. Congress and signed by President Donald Trump on March 27, 2020.
