Buried in the latest “One Big Beautiful Bill” is a golden nugget for high-flyers: the return of 100% bonus depreciation for private jets.
That’s right: for the first time in years, you can once again write off the full purchase price of a private aircraft in year one, as long as it qualifies for business use.
This is how the real game is played.
No amortization over 5 years. No waiting. Just an immediate, massive deduction—often seven or eight figures—slashing your tax bill now, not later.
How it works:
- Applies to new and pre-owned aircraft (if it’s the first time it’s being used by the taxpayer)
- Must be used primarily for qualified business purposes
- Must be delivered and placed in service before the phase-out dates kick in
- Can be combined with smart entity structuring (e.g. leasing to your main company, passive income offset strategies, etc.)
Why it matters:
While the media keeps yelling about “tax the rich,” this is how the actual elite shields wealth and accelerates asset growth: with strategic acquisitions that double as write-offs.
This provision was phased out after the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Now it’s back. And if you’re serious about real capital preservation and lifestyle enhancement, this is the moment.
Don’t wait. These windows don’t stay open forever. Just like last time, the deduction will be phased out gradually, unless the next administration decides to kill it altogether.
If you’re flying commercial and paying top tax brackets, maybe it’s time to stop playing defense.
Buy the jet. Deduct the jet. Own the sky.
Ps. Did you follow the advice of some of the gurus promoted by Offshorecorptalk and now you are broke? Worry not. Here’s one for you: globalair.com/aircraft-for-sale/listingdetai…?adid=135866
