In the complex world of finance, one principle stands tall – avoiding taxes is illegal, but minimizing taxes is a smart and legal strategy to build and preserve wealth. In the pursuit of financial success and security, managing your tax liability plays a pivotal role. There’s a very good chance that you are currently paying more taxes than you need to. Tax law, however, is a complicated and ever-changing landscape, so chances are good that (unless you are a tax professional), you will need to consult with experts to minimize your tax rates and maximize the amount of wealth you keep.
At Prime Wealth Advisors, we understand the significance of strategic tax planning and offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to increase your after-tax returns and income. In the following section, we’ll summarize some of the strategies we can apply to your financial assets to minimize your tax burden.
Minimizing your capital gains tax. Capital gains taxes are incurred when an asset such as an investment, security, or real estate is sold for more than it costs. How much you owe will depend on your income and how long you have held the asset. You can minimize capital gain taxes by holding onto the asset longer, for example, by investing in tax-deferred retirement plans, donating to charity, or engaging in a practice called “tax loss harvesting.”
Identifying missed opportunities on your tax return. Have your tax returns always been filed correctly? If you’re like most people – particularly if you were doing them yourself – you’ve missed some opportunities in the past to take advantage of tax breaks you may not have even known existed. The good news is that it’s not too late. A professional can go over your previous returns and look for opportunities you may have missed to reap some fairly significant rewards from past overpayments.
Increasing the tax efficiency of your estate plan. There are almost an infinite number of ways you can structure an estate, and some of them are significantly more tax-friendly than others. A professional tax planner can help you invest your assets into structured products that will reduce your tax liability while at the same time giving you a base income that is fixed and invariable for the future. For this purpose, it’s a great idea for your financial planner and your tax professional to work together to create the best possible plan for tax minimization.
