ATAX – May 2016 – L3 – Q7a – Tax Planning and Management

List seven essential documents/information required for effective tax planning strategies.

Tax planning involves making conscious efforts to arrange a taxpayer’s affairs in ways that will minimize tax liabilities. It requires detailed knowledge of tax legislation and the application of the same to particular circumstances, identifying and taking advantage of loopholes, if any.

The tax-conscious taxpayer and the expert tax adviser working together can often significantly reduce the tax liability that would have otherwise been payable.
