1. When it comes to tax planning, we must first define our own goals. What is our goal in tax planning? I think there are two main points: one is to reduce the tax burden of enterprises, and the other is to reduce the tax risk of enterprises. I think the tax planning of enterprises is mainly carried out around these two points.
How to reduce corporate tax burden? This can be divided into two aspects, one is the application and actual implementation of the basic knowledge of taxation, and the other is the reduction of tax burden brought about by the adjustment of enterprise structure. Let's talk about the application of basic tax knowledge. When it comes to the application of basic tax knowledge, we must first ensure the correctness of our daily accounting treatment, ensure that there are no tax mistakes, and reduce the tax penalties caused by low-level mistakes. Secondly, we should learn to use tax knowledge. For example, welfare expenses should not exceed 65,438+04% of total wages, and business entertainment expenses should be included as little as possible, because only 60% (or 5% of income, whichever is lower) can be deducted before tax, and advertising expenses should not exceed 65,438+05% of income. When these subjects are incorporated, we must pay attention to them, and when they are actually implemented, we must choose the practice that is most beneficial to the enterprise.
The other is the reduction of tax burden brought by enterprise structural adjustment, which is the strategic decision of enterprises, such as how to make use of tax incentives in different regions, set up companies, transfer business and other operations, and try to make good use of regional tax incentives.
2. How to reduce tax risks?
First of all, the compliance of daily accounting treatment is very important, and we should also pay attention to the authenticity of bills. Now the tax is joint and several, in case it will hurt the enterprise.
We should not try to evade taxes or evade taxes. In order to make enterprises bigger and stronger, I think this legal bottom line must not be touched.
3. Methods that can be used for tax planning.
We can use brainstorming method to gather financial related personnel together, discuss the tax types of enterprises one by one, find out the modules with the heaviest tax burden of enterprises, discuss what methods can reasonably reduce the tax burden, and then apply them to practical work for inspection.
I think the most important thing is to communicate with the tax Commissioner at least once or twice a month to fully understand whether there are the latest preferential policies for enterprises. For example, during the epidemic this year, the state gave many tax incentives to enterprises. These preferential policies should be fully utilized and properly used, which will bring unexpected benefits to enterprises.
This is my summary of tax planning, because we involve many taxes, and the flexible use of each tax can bring us different benefits, which requires us to invest energy in taxation to bring greater benefits to enterprises.
