No one likes to think about taxes and tax planning. But the reality is that proper and best practice tax planning is not only important, but it can save you a lot of money and headaches in the future.

Hiring a good tax accountant or financial planner is money well spent, especially for those that run their own business, own property or have substantial investments. But everyone can make good use of best practice tax planning by reducing taxes paid or by properly utilising tax credits offered by the government. The motto should be maximise income and minimise taxes!

Tax planning for businesses

For potential business owners or start-ups, best practice tax planning is important at the initial establishment phase. Business structure is probably the most important factor when it comes to tax matters.

The amount of tax levied and how much control you can assert will vary greatly between structures such as partnerships, sole proprietorships or companies. The type of business structure will also determine the degree of control or ownership of the company as well as legal status when it comes to law suits or other hurdles a business may face.

Tax planning for individuals

For individuals, best practice tax planning can be part of an overall financial or estate planning package. Accountants and financial planners can advise on how income tax can be reduced in a best practice and legal manner and advise on what, if any, tax credits may apply. Tax planning becomes especially important for reducing inheritance tax, making a will, charitable giving and the establishment of financial tools such as trusts.
