At this time of the year, everybody searches for their receipts and emails that prove their donations throughout the year. If it is not yet late, consider sharing even a small amount for donation to help your increase deductions of your taxable income.

 

A suggestion for next year: Why not consider tapping your inner philanthropist, get structured and revisit your philanthropic goals. You might want to support a cause through your business or to spend for other charitable institutions while seeking out information about the tax benefits that goes with it.

 

 

Everybody waits for their tax refund as if it is a bonus that is due to them. They plan on spending them on travel, vacation, or other recreation. However, if you have some payables or mortgage, why not use this 'tax refund aka bonus' to pay a non-deductible debt so that you can free yourself of the mortgages in the future?

Sometimes, generous tax break options for small businesses are offered by companies. Your local accounting firm will be able to advise you on this.
