Ownership structuring for private aircraft and yachts: registration, insurance and management.
/services/aviation-maritime/Aviation and maritime structuring is the ownership and registration layer for aircraft and yachts. It covers which entity owns the asset, which registry it flies or sails under, how import and VAT treatment works in the places it operates, and how charter income is handled if the asset earns.
The work itself, not a list of promises.
Which vehicle holds the asset, and how liability is kept away from family capital.
Flag or registry selection, and what each requires of the owner on an ongoing basis.
Treatment in the jurisdictions the asset actually operates in, not just where it is registered.
Whether the asset earns, and what that changes about its tax and regulatory profile.
Answer first, on the assumption an engine reads it before a person does.
General information, not legal, tax or investment advice. Rates, thresholds and permitted activities are set by the relevant authorities and change; confirm the current position and take advice from qualified counsel in each relevant jurisdiction before acting.
Most aircraft and yacht structures were built for the purchase, not for the decade after it.
