Arkansas Code Title 26. Taxation § 26-52-505. Aircraft sales

(a) Every person selling new or used aircraft in this state, whether from an established business, under a dealership, as a flying service, or as a private individual, shall obtain and hold a permit as provided in § 26-52-202 and shall make a monthly report and remittance to the Secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration as provided in this chapter, together with copies of invoices, sales tickets, or bills of sale reflecting the date of all sales of aircraft, the purchaser's name and address, the make, year, model, serial number, and gross sales price of each aircraft, and the amount of tax collected from the purchaser.

(b) When a used aircraft is taken in trade as a credit or part payment on the sale of a new or used aircraft, the tax levied by this chapter and all other gross receipts taxes levied by the state shall be paid on the net difference between the total consideration for the new or used aircraft sold and the credit for the used aircraft taken in trade. However, if the total consideration for the sale of the new or used aircraft is less than two thousand dollars ($2,000), no tax shall be due.

(c) However, the gross receipts or gross proceeds derived from the sale of new aircraft manufactured or substantially completed within the State of Arkansas shall not be subject to the gross receipts tax when sold by the manufacturer or substantial completer to a purchaser for use exclusively outside this state, notwithstanding the fact that possession may be taken in the state for the sole purpose of removing the aircraft from the state under its own power.
