This is about Activity Based Taxplanning - maximizing deductions, minimizing cash outlay and maximizing the amount of cash retained and the net worth. Activity Based Taxplanning (ABT) is a methodology developed by Bob Parrish CPA, that assists people with the tax issues by focusing on the activity (or actions - events) that are being undertaken or contemplated (or have already taken place). The, research is compiled from the myriad of sources to help you complete the activity with the least tax cost, while maintaining compliance the tax laws, other laws and regulations and place yourself in a position to protect your objectives.
Tax is a subject that many view in order to cut costs. Taxes are a cost just as any other cost. It happens this cost is somewhat intangible and is defined by legislation without a tangible item to view and control. The money is spent and the control of the expenditure is more appropriately administered by someone trained in the law.
