Smart Parts sales tax not unusual
Operators of Bombardier jets are dismayed because they

Operators of Bombardier jets are dismayed because they now have to pay state sales taxes on parts purchased through Bombardier’s Smart Parts program. Several operators who spoke to AIN on condition of anonymity said one of the primary reasons they participate in Smart Parts is to control and budget annual operating costs. “This adds a new dimension to overhead we didn’t budget for 2010,” one said.

“This issue applies to sales tax charged on parts shipped to certain states in which Bombardier is required to collect and remit sales tax,” explained a Bombardier spokesperson. “Bombardier adheres to all tax laws in states and countries where it operates. Bombardier maintains that Smart Parts is an effective cost-per-hour budgeting solution for its customers.”
