Effective tax planning can help you optimise or even minimise your tax bill. At a basic level tax planning strategies involve reducing the taxable income, increasing the deductions and availing of various exemptions and reliefs. Deferring the tax liability as a tax planning tool also helps as it frees cash for your business. Choosing appropriate accounting methods (e.g. valuation of inventory) can also impact the tax liability. At an advanced level tax planning involves such tools as restructuring your affairs in the most tax efficient manner.
