Research the FTB and consult a tax professional, but it is well worth it. You don’t have to live in Cali, just buy the airplane or transfer it there.
Doesn’t the aircraft have to be used by a common carrier to avoid paying sales tax?

I own a house in Los Angeles. I live in Florida. Vote here, own here, DL here, everything here. I pay CA taxes due to the income I get from my home there. I have CA payroll tax and there’s not a thing I can do about it. They will cut your life away if you try to circumvent the mighty FTB

You mean CA withholds from your paycheck, and then you have to file to get it back?

That seems reasonable from California’s perspective.

Sometimes when I’m bored I’ll read the Supreme Court argument transcripts. Most are dry but some are interesting. One that caught my eye was Franchise Tax Board vs Hyatt. The FTB basically sent snoops into Nevada to pick through a guy’s garbage in the hope of finding some link to California so they could get their pound of flesh. That’s stalker lever BS.

All three examples would require in state registration and proof of financial responsibility.

In the third example, one has to exercise caution, as you would also technically be required to obtain a California drivers license within 20 days, since the student becomes a resident for driving purposes, but not in state tuition at public universities. Another Cali gotcha.
Thanks!

It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
