Providing a company aircraft to an executive officer or director for their personal use generally requires disclosure in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports for publicly held companies. Public companies must report the aggregate incremental cost associated with personal flights, which means the cost to the company of the personal flights, not the tax value of the benefit.
The SEC reporting requirements and specifics of what items to include in the aggregate incremental costs associated with personal flights differ significantly from IRS rules for personal flights.
