The business world and the economic environment are constantly changing and evolving. For businesses, tax optimisation has never been more important. Tax optimisation is not just about legally reducing the tax burden, but about developing a complex strategy that allows a business to make the most of the benefits of the tax system without breaking the law. In this blog post, we explore the key aspects of tax optimisation that can help businesses manage their tax affairs effectively.
Planning and timing
Tax optimisation is based on proper planning and timing. Businesses need to prepare well in advance of the end of the tax year to take advantage of tax breaks and other opportunities.
Advance planning allows businesses to apply tax calculations efficiently and minimise potential tax burdens.
Many tax base adjustment items or specific tax reliefs and tax deferrals are subject to deadlines, so planning and timing are crucial.
Making use of tax incentives
Businesses should be aware of the tax reliefs to which they may be entitled.
These can be local, regional or even industry-wide.
For example, firms engaged in research and development activities can benefit from tax breaks.
In Hungary, there are also several types of significant tax bases or tax reliefs to encourage investment.
Being clear about tax benefits and using them properly can significantly reduce the tax burden legally.
Structured forms of enterprise
Businesses should think about their business structure and determine which form of business is best for them, taking into account the tax opportunities.
For example, businesses can choose between small business tax or corporation tax, depending on which gives them the best tax option.
Cross-border tax strategies
Companies doing international business should pay particular attention to cross-border tax strategies.
Exploiting tax differences, reducing tax burdens and legal ways to avoid tax can all be part of effective tax optimisation.
