Taxes can be minimized.  The amount you pay is not “fixed”… not
the same for everyone who receives the same amount of income.

The WAY to save is simple to state:  Use the laws, regulations, the court
decisions and the rulings that are issued for your guidance.  All legal
ways…accepted, even recommended…to help you pay your share, but not
more than your share.  Even the government does not want that.

Remember…federal, state and local governments can dip into your income,
and set the rules for doing so.  What can you do about it?  Take advantage of
the legitimate reliefs in the tax code.  Many are deliberately designed to ease
the tax load on you.  Others are the result of new interpretations of laws …
always changing.
The Importance of Tax Planning
Whether you are self-employed, a corporate manager or professional or a salaried executive, you have to take the tax aspects
into account whenever you make a financial decision involving your company or yourself.  Frequently, the success or failure of
your business could hinge on taxes.  We know of cases where marginal transactions have turned into bonanzas because
advance thinking was given to achieving the best tax outcome.  Remember, too, that YOUR finances are of most concern to you.  
It’s your responsibility to be alert to all the aspects, including taxes.


As for small businesses, they are the ones that most need guidance in order to take advantage of the rules and avoid overpaying
their taxes.  But it must be affordable and cost-effective.
Tax Laws are Complex
Major changes are constantly being made in the tax laws.  Almost without exception , the result makes the laws more complex.  
And more changes are coming.  Tax reform is a continuing matter…will go on for years, along with the ”normal” reworking of the
tax laws.

Paying the least tax is vital in calculating your personal income and is equally important to you when measuring profits from your
business.  Taxes paid by individuals vary, even where income is about equal, when dependency exemptions are the same and
the expenses are comparable.  This is partly because laws treat different types of income differently.  In other cases, it may be
due to other factors, such as a taxpayer’s age.  But frequently the difference is because of a taxpayer’s greater knowledge of
what he or she can do…what legal “outs” can be used for tax relief.

Are you using all the “outs” and reliefs available to you?   Do you keep up with them?  (You should.)
