Effective tax planning is essential for minimizing your business's liabilities and ensuring financial health. Proactive management of tax obligations can lead to significant savings and predictability in business operations.

Understanding Business Structures Each business structure has unique tax implications:

• LLCs are typically pass-through entities, meaning profits are taxed on the owners' personal tax returns, potentially saving on corporate taxes.
• S-Corps also offer pass-through taxation but with restrictions on the number of shareholders and who can be a shareholder.
• C-Corps are subject to double taxation, once at the corporate level and again on dividends to shareholders, but they allow for a potentially lower corporate tax rate on retained earnings.

Tax Planning Tips

• Regularly review your financials to adjust for tax-saving opportunities.
• Consider making larger purchases or investments at year-end to claim deductions.
• Set aside a portion of revenue in a tax account to cover estimated tax payments.
