As the year comes to a close, the time is right to review your tax plan.
|
|
Think tax planning is not for you?
You may be right. However, if you have experienced a significant life event in 2017 such as a marriage, divorce, new child, or you have had major change in financial compensation, it may be beneficial to review your tax situation.
If you are a business owner, having a tax plan in place can help you to avoid any surprises in the amount of tax owed.
