For many businesses, especially small businesses, taxes can be quite a handful. Moreover, it’s not just paying taxes, it’s knowing what can be taxed and/or deducted. So, we made a list of things every business should know about taxes, along with various tips for your business tax. This will help make our tax life a lot easier.

Make sure you keep Track of Everything

While we realize this may seem like one of the most obvious tips for your business tax, many businesses forget to keep track of everything. Every expense, purchase, deduction, refund and even car mileage –  keep track of them all. This helps you file accurate taxes. Remember, an inaccurate tax filing can lead to legal problems.

Separate your Expenses

One of the most important tips for your business tax is to always set apart your business expenses from your personal ones. Your personal expenses are not tax deductible while your business expenses are. Therefore, always keep them separate so you know how much you can deduct from your taxes.

Be Generous

If you have unsellable software, goods or equipment just sitting idly in your office, donate them to another business or to individuals. This will enable you to be eligible for a number of tax deductions.

Provide Benefits rather than Raises

One of the most basic tips for your business tax is that many goods and services are tax deductible. For example, if you purchase a business car, it’s tax deductible. If you purchase health insurance for your employees, even that is tax deductible. Therefore, instead of giving salary raises at your next performance evaluation, provide benefits instead. Not only do you have happier employees, you save on your taxes.

Make your Car a Business Car

This has got to be one of the best tips for your business tax. Many of us require a car to commute to and from work. In fact, we need the car to travel around the city when we are working. If you require a car, purchase one for ‘business purposes’ and log its miles as a mileage deduction. Since the car is registered to your business, it becomes a business expense and hence, tax deductible.

Pay for your Benefits, Deduct them from your Business Tax

One of the best tips for your business tax may seem rather awkward at first. If you have your own business, one of the best things you can do is hire your spouse. Once you have hired your spouse, provide them health insurance. Inadvertently, you are providing yourself and your family health insurance. Best of all, this is tax deductible. This could just be the most affordable health insurance ever!

Save yourself from Bad Debt

There are many tips for your business tax that are not well known. For example, deducting bad debts. Many businesses provide loans and lines of credit to their customers. For example, clothes bought with a credit card. If you can prove that a customer bought goods and cannot pay it back, if it’s an noncollectable account expense, you can claim for a business tax deduction.
