Small Businesses Tax Relief You Can Benefit From
Author : Devora Witts
Running a business is not simple and if you are just starting, managing the cash flow will undoubtedly be a problem. Taxes at this stage are a big issue and thus it is important to know whether you are eligible for tax relief in order to reduce the tax pressure that your business is suffering. Latest reforms have helped small businesses obtain some relief. Let’s analyze how.
There are several aspects of tax legislation that provide relief for small businesses. The following categories include reductions and aid for small businesses: returns on income tax, reductions of taxes on dividends, reductions of taxes on capital gains and also, tax incentives to promote small businesses growth. All these aspects when combined provide a significant relief for tax payers that run a small business.
Returns On Income Tax
The government has provided relief on income tax returns for small businesses by widening the number of things that are included in the smaller tax categories (10% and 15%). Thus, the business income can be mainly taxed at lower categories while the rest of the categories up to 35% where also reduced by a few points. This way, small businesses can reduce the amount of money destined to income tax returns and employ those amounts for further funding the business.
Elimination Of Death Tax
The death tax usually implied that upon the death of a business owner, when the property of the business assets and management was passed on to the family members who inherited, a percentage of the value of those assets had to be paid by the beneficiaries. This tax has been eliminated and will not be reinstated until 2011 if reinstated at all.
Taxes On Dividends And Capital Gains
One of the main problem with taxes and businesses is double taxation. When the business pays taxes, it does not make sense that the individuals who own the company pay taxes too for the same concepts. However, such situations occur frequently. Nevertheless, recent changes on regulations through taxes on dividends and capital gains relief have provided a great improvement on the problems that double taxation generate.
Tax Incentives For Promoting Small Business Growth
Lately, further changes on small business tax regulations have provided more ease to company’s budgets by offering tax incentives to promote small business growth. For instance, businesses need to pay according to the assets they posses but business assets tend to loose value at a greater pace. Recognizing this fact, new regulations increased the depreciation rates for new assets in the first year by an additional 20% thus providing a reduction on the base amount where taxes are originated.
Summing Up
As you can see, there are many tax relief options for small businesses. It is a wise idea to hire a financial consultant (if you do not have one already). Accountants and lawyers specialized in taxes can provide you with all the tools you need to reduce the amount of money you pay on taxes and thus give you the opportunity to further boost your business gains.
