Tax cutting techniques

Every manager must optimise the taxation of his company. Indeed, taxation is perceived as a heavy burden for companies. It is therefore important to reduce it as much as possible. But how can this be done? To better understand these techniques, it is necessary to explain how to calculate a company's income or corporate tax. These are calculated based on annual profit and turnover. High profit means high tax! Therefore, in order to reduce the company's tax burden, these two parameters must be taken into account. To reduce the latter, you have to play on the expenses. However, in doing so, these costs must be in the company's favour. Deducting expenses from the profit can considerably reduce the tax burden. Another way is to increase the remuneration of employees, for example. There are several other techniques to reduce the tax burden of a company, but the most important thing is to ensure that the expenses are deducted from the profit margins to the extent permitted by law.
