The Principles of Paying Taxes
Why Tax Loopholes Are Necessary
In ancient China, a hunter set nets on all four sides of a forest to catch every animal. When a king passed by, he advised, "Remove the nets from three sides of the forest. Let the animals roam freely. Only those who defy the Tao should be caught in your net."
In more modern times, some suggest taxing all income and blocking all loopholes to prevent anyone from evading taxes. This approach, however, risks stifling productivity. A wise voice among them warned, "If we close all loopholes, the best and brightest may work to destroy the system. Instead, allow some freedom so they focus on growth rather than evasion. Let those bound by rigid morality and who ignore the Tao end up paying taxes."
This highlights why the average person pays taxes while the wealthy employ lawyers and lobbyists. Interestingly, the super-rich often benefit from tax policies. Wealthy landowners, for instance, reap farming subsidies despite the subsidies primarily benefiting land-owning farmers.
Governments use tax revenue to support preferred businesses, often influenced by personal connections. Consequently, businesses linked to political leaders are more likely to secure lucrative contracts funded by taxpayer money?"a situation often tolerated by the poor and middle class.
How to Minimize Your Tax Payments
In my first business class in the U.S., we didn't learn about boosting productivity or improving worker pay. Instead, we learned how to legally minimize income tax liabilities. However, these strategies are complex and require legal expertise.
Understanding Income
Income is traditionally defined as the sum of your spending and savings. For instance, if you earn $50,000, spend $20,000, and save $30,000, your income is $50,000. Even if your spending and saving amounts change, your income remains $50,000, facilitated by the government's withholding of taxes before you even see the money.
Key Deductions for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs, however, view income with two crucial deductions:
1. Unspent Money: Money not yet spent is not considered income, and taxation is deferred until it's spent.
2. Expenditures: Money spent is classified as an expenditure and is deductible from income.
These principles make the tax system seem fairer for entrepreneurs, allowing them strategic financial flexibility. For more examples and detailed explanations, visit my website: [FasterFinancialFreedom.com](http://FasterFinancialFreedom.com/art.390.0.html).
By understanding these principles, you can navigate the complex tax landscape more effectively.
