Tax Bill Provides 100 Percent Expensing Option in 2017
With marginal tax rate at about 40 percent, a taxpayer could see $800,000 in tax savings by purchasing a $2 million aircraft, says jetAvia tax expert.

A 100 percent expensing option will be available to owners of aircraft purchased after Sept. 27, 2017, under the comprehensive tax overhaul package that passed the House and Senate this week. The package, which awaits President Donald Trump’s signature, has been widely praised by both NBAA and NATA for the accelerated depreciation (100 percent expensing) measure and clarification on aircraft management fee taxation, among other provisions.
