Attached, please find the January 26th memo on the airplane which wa= sent to you previously. It deals with Part 91 vs. 135 and attendant costs=and income tax benefits. The office feels that with respect to income tax,=Part 135 is more favorable, but not significantly so, i.e., between 0 and $400K depending on use. 2. Also included are detailed operating costs. These were previously se=t to Jeffrey but not previously not sent to you. 3. The final note details the FET and sales tax consequences of moving =rom the current structure to a simplified structure. Were we to move to a =ery simple Part 91 only structure you could likely save $200K/year but wou=d have to own and operate the plane in your personal name (your insurance is sufficient, but there would be a =ertain lack of privacy). If you held the plane in a sole purpose LLC the a=orementioned savings would disappear. If Jeffrey wants to take a deep dive= we have much detailed material and we would also suggest he speak to Rich.' and our aviation attorney.=/u> 4. Bottom-line, a lot of work has been done and there is not a compelli=g answer, one way or another. Taking into account income tax attributes, s=les tax attributes and ease of use attributes it's almost a push, =hough I would probably marginally favor Part 135. I believe Jeffrey favors Part 91, which in my mind, is a suffici=nt reason to go that route. We should discuss.
