Taxes Made Simple ➡️ I help business owners in their 30s and 40s optimize taxes and live a fulfilled life.
𝗜𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. I never recommend changing WHAT you buy to increase your tax savings. But I always recommend evaluating WHEN you buy. If you anticipate business profits will push you into a higher (or lower) tax bracket in a subsequent year, then you can save yourself thousands by simply adjusting the timing of a purchase. 👉 As we head into the second half of the year, it's the perfect time to project your future tax rate and strategically plan the optimal time to make a business purchase. ⬇️ $3,200 in tax savings ⬇️

"We Could Close the Business Tomorrow and Sell Everything Off" – A Common Thought, But What About the Tax Implications? This is something we hear regularly, but before you decide to close up shop and sell off your assets, it’s important to consider the UK tax implications. Capital Gains Tax- Selling business assets can trigger Capital Gains Tax. Depending on the gains, you could face a significant tax bill, especially if you don’t qualify for reliefs like Business Asset Disposal Relief (formerly Entrepreneurs' Relief). Income Tax- If you decide to distribute remaining funds to shareholders, those amounts could be subject to Income Tax, depending on the method of distribution. Liquidation Costs- Closing a business through liquidation has its own costs and tax consequences. A Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) might be tax-efficient, but it requires careful planning. Alternative Options- Rather than winding down, there might be more tax-efficient ways to exit your business, such as selling as a going concern, which can reduce your overall tax burden. Want to explore the best approach for your situation? DM us on here for assistance on navigating the tax implications when selling or closing your business.
