Frequently Asked Questions

How often should tax planning be reviewed?

Tax planning should be reviewed at least annually to account for changes in your business operations, financial position, and tax regulations. However, more frequent reviews are recommended when significant business events occur, such as expansion, acquisition, or major capital investments. Additionally, whenever there are substantial changes to tax laws or regulations, a review of your tax strategy is essential to ensure it remains optimal and compliant.

What's the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion?

Tax avoidance involves legally minimizing tax liability by taking advantage of allowable deductions, credits, and strategies within the framework of tax laws. It's a legitimate approach to tax planning. Tax evasion, on the other hand, involves illegal methods to avoid paying taxes, such as underreporting income, claiming false deductions, or hiding assets. At TP Adhikari & Associates, we strictly focus on legal tax avoidance strategies that optimize your tax position while maintaining full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

How do you stay current with changing tax regulations?

Our tax professionals maintain current knowledge through multiple channels. We have dedicated team members who monitor legislative updates, court rulings, and regulatory announcements from tax authorities. Our professionals regularly participate in continuing education programs, industry conferences, and specialized training. We also maintain memberships in professional tax associations that provide timely updates and analysis of tax developments. This multi-faceted approach ensures that our advice reflects the most current tax regulations and interpretations.

What information do you need to develop a tax strategy?

To develop an effective tax strategy, we need comprehensive information about your business, including financial statements, corporate structure, business operations, investment plans, and growth objectives. We also require details about your current tax situation, including recent tax returns, ongoing tax issues, and any specific tax concerns. Additionally, understanding your business goals and risk tolerance is essential for developing a tax strategy that aligns with your overall business objectives. The more complete the information you provide, the more tailored and effective our tax planning recommendations will be.
