May 25, 2011 4:31 PM

Conklin & de Decker Associates, Inc. and the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) announced they would again co-host this year’s Commercial Operators Tax Seminar to be held in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., on August 23-24, 2011.

Unique from other tax seminars and workshops, the Conklin & de Decker and NATA Tax Seminar is the only seminar designed for the commercial operator, which focuses on the current and numerous tax issues affecting the aircraft charter and management industry.

Charter operators contend with a convoluted maze of Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), as well as Federal, State and Local tax issues. Adding to the confusion is the additional tax complexity of Part 135 charter flying versus Part 91 owner flying. This two-day Tax Seminar will answer questions and give aircraft charter management companies the tools necessary to gain control of this area in their business.

This seminar is a must-attend for anyone involved with aircraft charter, whether an aircraft owner, operator, certificate holder, management company, charter-broker, insurance broker, consultant or an attorney.

The Tax Seminar will be presented by Nel Stubbs, Vice President of Conklin & de Decke,r and Jacque Rosser, Director, Regulatory Affairs, NATA, along with other expert instructors. The Seminar Topics will include:

- Federal Aviation Regulations and their Impact on Charter Management Agreements
- Creating Effective Charter Management Agreements
- Application of Federal Excise Taxes
- IRS Audits & Enforcement
- New Developments in the World of Charter Brokers
- Fuel Fraud
- FAA Reauthorization
- Those Other International Fees
- Impact on Costs When Owner Places Aircraft on Part 135
- Issues Confronting Aircraft Owners
- State Tax Planning

“The Commercial Operators Tax Seminar covers the entire range of today’s tax and regulatory issues confronting business aircraft management companies and charter operators,” said Nel Stubbs, Vice President and co-owner of Conklin & de Decker. “We will provide answers to complex questions regarding Federal Excise Taxes (FET), state taxes, international fees, personal use, depreciation, as well as FAR and IRS regulations so attendees walk away with clarity on all these issues.”
