I am here today to talk about some of the advantages of tax planning for business owners.  For one thing, it will help you minimize taxes.  It will also put you more in control of your tax situation where you can drive it rather than just dealing with it after the fact.   That is the way that it was meant to be but most people don't realize that.  By saving taxes, business owners can improve their cash flow and post-tax profitability.  In addition, some tax planning options can help you put away more money for retirement, entice your employees, and generally improve your life.  In short, if you've never looked at tax planning as a business owner I highly recommend it.  With even a little bit of savings the cost of tax planning can be an investment vs. an expense.  With a good investment, you typically see a return on your money.
