2022 Year-End Tax Planning for Businesses & Individuals
It’s year-end once again, and we are repeating a common thought: proactive tax planning ahead of time is the key to managing cash flows and minimizing tax burdens.
Businesses face constant pressure to maintain steady revenue, manage costs, and keep stakeholders happy. The challenge is doing this amidst record inflation, market volatility, and lingering pandemic-era supply chain stalls. Additionally, tax outcomes depend on the decisions made by Congress, particularly during an election year like now.
Through our partnership with BDO, we are pleased to bring our clients these helpful tax planning guides to assist you in reviewing and planning for 2022-2023 tax scenarios which can help you reduce, defer, or accelerate your federal tax obligations.
