Every enterprise, regardless of the form of ownership and type of activity, is legally required to pay taxes to the state. An incorrect approach and various kinds of systematic errors often become the main reasons for increased financial costs due to higher taxes, problems with the law, or at least fines. That is why tax optimization is an important component of any business.
The role of tax planning and optimization
Tax optimization and tax planning currently play an important role in the activities of every commercial enterprise. After all, founders of organizations and entrepreneurs open their own business to earn a profit in the future, not to pay huge taxes to the budget. And although payment of taxes is an obligation of economic entities, and the state strictly punishes tax delinquents for failure to fulfill these obligations, nevertheless each entrepreneur has the right to minimize their taxes by legal means aimed at reducing the amount of tax payments.
It is important to remember that tax evasion of fixed taxes is a serious offense, and under certain circumstances it can even be qualified in court as a criminally punishable act (in accordance with Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). However, tax optimization and competent tax planning are used by taxpayers as effective and entirely legal methods of reducing the amount of payments to the budgets.
In our company, tax planning and tax optimization are, first and foremost, lawful, legal, based on careful preliminary forecasts, and the most effective planning of the payment and accrual of taxes to the state budget.
