2018 Tax Implications

2018 Tax Implications

In honor of last week, our favorite American holiday -- Tax Day!

Many entrepreneurs rely solely on accounting professionals to handle their taxes. "My accountant takes care of that" -- a rookie mistake. 

Accountants are technically proficient, yes, but they are not as strategically proficient as you, business owner. If you are the type of person who wants to be strategic about your business, then study, and plan, for the implications of the 2018 tax changes. It sounds basic, but too many people do not do this. 

Tax planning should be a fundamental tenant of your business operations throughout the year. After all, what you spend, save, and where you invest directly impacts your bottom line as a business owner/operator.

Your rate of return should be compared against your effective tax rate to determine if money is better reinvested or saved this year. This is what large corporations do as a matter of course. Act like the big guys, and plan.

HERE is a basic guide to the 2018 tax changes for individuals and HERE breaks it down well for businesses.

Every entrepreneur (who hasn't already) must study these changes, and consider their implications, carefully.
