When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by
the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of
empire building' by George Bush. He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the
United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril
to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have
ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.' It
became very quiet in the room. Then there was a conference in France where a
number of International engineers were taking part, including French and
American. during a break one of the French engineers came back into the room
saying 'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an
aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he
intended to do, bomb them?' A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly:
'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred
people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power
to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed
3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of
fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters
for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck..
We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?' Once again, dead
silence. A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included
Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At
a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of
Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was
chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral
suddenly complained that, 'whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans
learn only English.' He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak
English in these conferences rather than speaking French?' Without
hesitating, the American Admiral replied 'Maybe it s because the Brits,
Canadians, Aussies and Americans Arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak
German.' You could have heard a pin drop

That's the question that Steve Kahn and dozens of other pilots are
wondering about, after being hit by the state of Maine with tax bills in
the thousands of dollars for flying into the state. Kahn, an investment
advisor who lives in Boston, flies his Cirrus SR-22 frequently into
Maine to visit a summer home and other destinations, and as a volunteer
with Angel Flight. He's been doing that since 2003, but this year, he
got a tax bill from the state of Maine saying he owes them a "use tax"
that totals over $26,000 with interest. Kahn says he had no way of
knowing that flying in Maine would trigger the tax until he got the
bill. "It's so unreasonable and unfair," he says.

Seems to me that would be a good one to litigate.
The $26,000 is what he would have paid as sales tax if he had bought the a/
c in Maine. What they are saying is that they can levy use tax (sales tax)
on *anyone* who flys an a/c into maine. I presume this is discriminatory
, as I doubt they enfore the same policy on, say, cars. (That would be gre
at for the tourist industry in maine if they charged each car owner $3-10k
to cross the border.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm from Maine originally and my brother/family
still lives there. I'm going to forward this note to see if he can find out
the "skinny" on this. There must be some connection with the "residence" issue.
Pretty shocking. Maine is pretty brutal on property taxes though (especially compared
to Delaware), so wouldn't be at all surprised.
When my father was living with us, he quickly changed his address (and registration
on N2760B) to Delaware for this very reason.

Subject: | Maine Aviation Use Tax [bcc][faked-from][html-rem] |
There was an NBAA article on this a couple of years ago. From what I
recall, this is a common thing to happen to jet owners, however, the
initial bill is for the entire use tax. The actual tax owed is a
percentage of that tax equal to the fraction of time the plane actually
spends in the state in question. For example, if the guy spends a month
a year in Maine, then the tax bill would be 1/12 of the $26,000 bill.
Then, that amount is reduced by 1/12 of the sales or use tax he paid in
his home state, so he may end up owing nothing.
It's not surprising that governments would actively seek things they
haven't taxed and go all-out to tax them (even at the detriment of the
state).

Subject: | Maine Aviation Use Tax |
When I was based in NH, either NH or Maine had it so that you had to have a
state pilot's license or they would fine you heavily.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm from Maine originally and my
brother/family still lives there. I'm going to forward this note to see if
he can find out the "skinny" on this. There must be some connection with
the "residence" issue.
Pretty shocking. Maine is pretty brutal on property taxes though
(especially compared to Delaware), so wouldn't be at all surprised.
When my father was living with us, he quickly changed his address (and
registration on N2760B) to Delaware for this very reason.

I wondered if they did this to everyone that flies into Maine or only
because he owns a Summer home there? Any ideas. Just curious in case I
would fly into Maine sometime.

Seems to me that would be a good one to litigate.
The $26,000 is what he would have paid as sales tax if he had bought the a/c
in Maine. What they are saying is that they can levy use tax (sales tax) on
*anyone* who flys an a/c into maine. I presume this is discriminatory, as
I doubt they enfore the same policy on, say, cars. (That would be great for
the tourist industry in maine if they charged each car owner $3-10k to cross
the border.
