Taxation Strategies
Tax planning is the process of structuring your financial affairs within the applicable rules to allow you to defer and/or reduce the amount of taxes payable.
Paying taxes is an unavoidable reality. That being said, certain strategies exist to enable you to defer and/or mitigate the amount of taxes you pay. Since tax rules are always changing, it is imperative that your plan be continually monitored and updated. Tax planning is a large part of the wealth and estate planning process, and must be considered within each element of the plan.
