View Letter

On April 30th of 2010, S&S Seeds purchased a Cessna CJ1 from Cessna in Wichita, KS. S&S Seeds owns four companies located on the west coast in Santa Barbara, CA, Manteca, CA, Livermore, CA and Albany, OR.  Our customers and suppliers are located in various locations across the United States ranging from New York to the Midwest to the West Coast. S&S Seeds also has real estate holdings in Arizona, California, North Dakota, and Oregon. The CJ1 is used to transport S&S Seeds staff between our various companies, visit production fields that are being grown for us, meet established and potential new customers and suppliers. In addition, the CJ1 is also used to visit current holdings, and identify future real estate ventures.

Because of our business use, and the work of Aviation Tax Group preparing and compiling documentation, S&S Seeds Inc. was able to save in excess of One Hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars in use tax.

Aviation Tax Group maintained communication with our staff on the specific records and documentation that needed to be provided to the State of California substantiating the amount of time that the plane was used for business purposes.  Aviation Tax Group provided a monthly accounting compiled from our records to keep us aware of the percentage of overall business use. The personnel at Aviation Tax Group were very knowledgeable, providing answers to all or our questions through the process.  Consistently, the employees of Aviation Tax Group were responsive and clear in their knowledge of the required documentation.

Our tax savings was a result of the expertise of Aviation Tax Group.  We highly recommend this company to others.

Sincerely,

Victor W. Schaff
President
S&S Seeds, Inc.
