A growing trend of smart SME taxpayers globally are now tailoring their strategies originally drawn up for the big players which are now adopted by smaller and medium sized business. While tax evasion is illegal, tax avoidance is not. There are a number of strategies that tax experts can devise for firms to structure their business operations to avoid taxes – called tax planning, tax avoidance or tax optimization. These strategies stay within the letters of the law. Unknown to many, there are various tax avoidance schemes available under the law that would allow taxpayers to reduce tax without violating Tax Code provisions.
