And NATA'S Popular Tax Seminar Is Back For Second Year

The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) is once again offering a special tax seminar specifically geared towards Part 135 air charter operators. The Tax Seminar for Air Charter Operators is designed to provide answers to some of the most common tax-related issues faced by the charter industry.

NATA has renewed its partnership with one of the nation's leading aviation consultants, Conklin & de Decker, to provide up-to-date information designed to help operators comply with all IRS regulations. Nel Sanders-Stubbs, with Conklin & de Decker, has over 15 years of experience in aviation tax matters and will serve as both the moderator and featured speaker for the tax seminar, along with other presenters.
