There is a tax firm out there that can help their clients pay no income tax. This tax firm is comprised of a large work force that has access to all the necessary technology tools and tax information to ensure that their clients use all the legal loopholes to bring their tax liability to zero and many times a surplus. This tax firm is so good at saving their clients tax dollars that major accounting firms even loan their employees to them! Sounds like a great accounting right? Only one problem this accounting firm has one client...and that client is GE. GE's Tax department is one of the most prestigious tax firms in the country. A quick Google search of "GE Tax Department" shows the efforts that GE goes through to pay no taxes. Most small business owners don't have the resources and time to research the tax strategies like their "Big Boy" counterparts. They then go about taxes much the same way most personal taxpayers do, taking the last minute "SALY" approach. Learn more about "SALY" here. Approaching taxes as a routine is ok, if your routine is done on a consistent basis. But even a consistent routine has small changes. Take your morning routine for instance. You may get up at the same time every day, but is the same song playing when you wake, or do you have the same breakfast every morning? The same goes for your tax planning routine. There is a consistent guide that you follow, but you must always monitor for the changes. This includes staying up to date on tax changes, and how they affect your business decisions during the year.
There are quite a few tax issues affecting small businesses currently. From the changes in depreciation, and deduction rules to healthcare now is the time to take advantage of tax strategies for main street businesses like yours. It's doesn't take having a large tax firm as your tax department to save your hard earned money, but it does take some work (with a little help from a tax expert friend like us :-). So do like "Nike" the Goddess of motivation/implementation and "just do it".
