There are several legal ways for small business owners to reduce their tax burden. One such method is through the use of business trusts. Tax-free strategies such as gifting assets to family members, shifting income between spouses, maximizing contributions to retirement accounts, and deducting unreimbursed job expenses may also be advantageous. Additionally, certain tax credits may be claimed by small businesses including research and development credit and energy credit for making energy-efficient improvements to buildings.  Moreover, tax deductions for depreciation/amortization or section 179 expensing can provide potential relief from federal income tax liability for small companies that invest significantly in assets or equipment.

Depending on the country, there are certain legal tax minimization strategies that small business owners can utilize in order to reduce their tax burden. For example, deductions such as cost of goods sold (COGS), depreciation, amortization, and other accounting practices may be employed in order to legally lower your company’s overall tax bill. Additionally, small business owners may look into creating a Retirement Savings Account (RSA) or simply switching to a territorial rather than worldwide system of income taxation for companies, both of which can help reduce the amount owed annually.
