Keeping Personal Taxes

Tax Planning As A Family

Governments around the world tax the money you make in different ways, all to promote goals that they believe you should be pursuing. Understanding these legitimate tax breaks can help you create an effective tax plan.

This includes:

–	Tax incentives to plan for your retirement (i.e. 401(k) plans in the United States, RRSPs in Canada).
–	Rewarding certain types of investments (gains from the sale of shares taxed at lower capital gains rates, whereas income from safe investments like interest from certificates of deposit is taxed at your higher rate as ordinary income).
–	Promoting the creating of small businesses through the tax advantages available to businesses both large and small.

Avoid taxes is encouraged and is a sound part of your overall financial plan – evading taxes ("forgetting" to declare some cash income you received at a second job) is not.
