Business

We help you avail of the best possible tax advantages in start-up costs, investigation costs, and organization costs. Starting a business is like embarking on a journey, there are many factors not under our control, however, we can plan out certain eventualities that enable us to further secure our finances.

Many consider start-up costs deductible under the head of business expenses, however, these are not expenses incurred during the business rather before it, instead, these costs should be capitalized. You can deduct as much as $5000 of the start-up expenditure in the tax that first year reduced by the amount that exceeds a certain threshold. In case they are not deductible in the first year as a result of phase-out then they should be taken over 180 months, from the start of the business.

Start-up expenses are amortizable by the person that incurs them. Hence depending on the business structure of the organization, the costs must be deducted. Also depending on the head of the cost, they are treated differently, for example, interests, taxes, and research are deducted in the year they are paid, while the tangible property is recovered through accelerated depreciation over the years.

To ensure you receive the tax benefits for the expenses make sure the expenses correspond with the business starting date with necessary elections. We also help in case you are expanding your business, to allow for consistent tax planning. Choosing the right business structure helps you streamline the tax planning and we assist in making the right choice to ensure business success and longevity.
