Tax planning is a fundamental aspect of financial management that involves strategically arranging one’s affairs to minimize tax liabilities while maximizing after-tax outcomes.
It is a proactive approach to managing taxes, encompassing a range of strategies and techniques aimed at optimising financial outcomes within the framework of tax laws and regulations.
At its core, tax planning seeks to identify opportunities to reduce tax burdens through legal and ethical means. This may involve leveraging tax deductions, credits, exemptions, and incentives provided by tax laws, as well as structuring transactions and investments in a tax-efficient manner.
By taking advantage of available tax-saving opportunities, individuals and businesses can retain more of their earnings, preserve wealth, and achieve their financial goals more effectively.
