Richie Rich just sold a commercial property and business for a six-figure amount. He has an existing business that is quite profitable, so much so that the tax obligation is well over 100K per year. Between the two gains, the tax liability is causing him all kinds of stress, so much so that he is having problems sleeping. The sleep issue is affecting his quality of life and he is beginning to snap at his co-workers, family members, and customers
How can Y H & C Investments help solve this problem for Richie (and maybe yours)? Through tax planning.
What is Tax Planning?
Tax planning is preparing for future tax liability using any one or a combination of strategies to be as tax efficient as possible. It is analyzing the present and past financial documents and transactions to prepare for the future. The process is forward-looking and proactive, which is very different from tax accounting. Tax accounting is based on recording and documenting the past.
