A Must Have Book For All Small Business Owners



According to Discover® Small Business WatchSM, 73 percent of small businesses
use paid professionals to handle their tax returns. So why do you
need to read up on taxes? The answer is simple: You, and not your accountant
or other financial adviser, run the business, so you can’t rely on someone else
to make decisions critical to your activities. You need to be informed about
tax-saving opportunities that continually arise so you can strategically plan to
take advantage of them. Being knowledgeable about tax matters also saves you
money; the more you know, the better able you are to ask your accountant key
tax and financial questions that can advance your business, as well as to meet
your tax responsibilities.

This is a great time to be a small business. Not only is small business the
major force in our economy but it also is the benefactor of new tax rules that
make it easier to write off expenses and minimize the taxes you owe. This edition
of the book has been revised to include all of the new rules taking effect for
2008 returns. It also provides information about future changes scheduled to
take effect in order to give you an overall view of business tax planning.
