Fiscal consulting and planning
Any professional economic and/or business activity is subject to multiple convergent conditions and circumstances that turn the undertaking of the activity into an obstacle course. These circumstances include the levying of taxes and duties.
Professionals and/or businesspersons who have to periodically file tax returns may ask themselves what can be done to pay fewer taxes and ease the tax burden of their business. Here it should be said that tax evasion and avoidance are not the solution, since resorting to these practices, aside from being morally and/or socially reproachful, can result in the payment of large amounts by way of fines and, in the worst of cases, in prison terms. However, there is a fully legal, admissible tool to achieve this objective: fiscal planning, with the understanding that, generally speaking, “there are no general solutions applicable to all cases as a mathematical formula” but there are ways to reduce the impact of the tax burden.
To this end, the following must be considered: (i) understand the business and know where the firm will operate, (ii) how the business is organized, (iii) what is the degree of ownership vis-a-vis the assets, (iv) what is the structure of contracts, (v) what capital goods depreciation criteria are used in the company, (vi) how are the stocks appraised, (vii) what is the temporary location of operations, and (viii) what is the definition of commercial cycles for fiscal purposes.
