Taxation

We offer our aviation-related clients a full range of tax services. This includes structuring aircraft transactions to minimize federal and state taxation and advice concerning qualification of aircraft transactions as finance leases and related tax indemnification issues.

We have also advised a major foreign carrier on U.S. taxation of investment income from surplus U.S. funds, taxation of U.S. based foreign employees of an overseas carrier, and litigation in the U.S. Supreme Court involving state taxation and domestic interstate air carriers. See also our nonaviation taxation practice.

Trademarks

Zuckert, Scoutt & Rasenberger represents a number of airlines in trademark matters, both in the U.S. and abroad. Representation ranges from advising both domestic and foreign companies prior to development and use of a mark, to registration with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, protection of marks abroad, and trademark litigation.
