What are the main ways to avoid taxes legally?

How to avoid tax?

1, change to "foreign" enterprises. Our country has a favorable tax policy for foreign-invested enterprises.

2, registered to the "treasure land".

Where in the special economic zones, coastal economic development zones, special economic zones and economic and technological development zones in the city's old urban areas, as well as state-recognized high-tech industrial zones, bonded zones set up in the production, operation, service-oriented enterprises and engaged in the development of new and high technology enterprises, can enjoy a greater degree of tax incentives. When choosing investment locations, SMEs can purposefully select the above specific areas to engage in investment and production operations, thus enjoying more tax incentives.

3. Entering special industries. For example, tax exemptions for the service industry: child care centers, kindergartens, nursing homes, and welfare institutions for the disabled to provide child rearing services are exempt from business tax.

Marriage introduction and funeral services are exempt from business tax.

Medical services provided by hospitals, clinics and other medical institutions are exempt from business tax.

Civil welfare enterprises that place persons with four disabilities accounting for more than 35% of the enterprise's production staff are exempted from paying business tax on businesses that fall within the scope of the business tax's service industry tax item (except advertising).

Labor services provided by individuals with disabilities are exempt from business tax.

4, do the article of management costs.

Enterprises can increase the rate of withdrawal of bad debt reserves, bad debt reserves are to be entered into the administrative expenses, which reduces the current year's profit, you can pay less income tax.

Enterprises can try to shorten the depreciation life, so that the amount of depreciation increases, the profit decreases, the income tax paid less. In addition, different depreciation methods are used,

and the depreciation amount charged varies greatly, which ultimately affects the amount of income tax.

5, use but not "fee".

Private owners of small and medium-sized enterprises should take into account how the operation of water, electricity, fuel costs, etc., family living expenses, transportation costs and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses are included in the cost of products.

6, a reasonable increase in employee benefits.

Private owners of small and medium-sized enterprises in the process of production and operation, can be considered within the scope of not exceeding the taxable wages appropriately increase employee wages, medical insurance for employees, the establishment of employee pension funds, unemployment insurance funds and employee education funds and other funds, corporate property insurance and transportation insurance and so on. These expenses can be charged to the cost, but also can help private owners to mobilize employees, reduce the tax burden, reduce business risks and welfare burden.

7, start with sales. Choose different sales settlement methods to postpone the time of revenue recognition. Enterprises should be based on their actual situation, as far as possible to delay the time of revenue recognition. For example, a car sales company, sold 100 cars that month, income of about 20 million, according to the 17% sales tax, to pay more than 3 million in taxes, but the enterprise will immediately next month's incoming tax stamps raised to this month's deduction. Due to the time value of money, delaying tax payment will bring unexpected tax savings to the enterprise.

Reasonable tax avoidance of the most critical issue is the level of practice of accounting personnel, which is a guarantee of the success of tax avoidance planning, but also the reflection of the value of accounting personnel themselves. Practice level includes tax policy level and business level.

Generally speaking, the space of tax avoidance planning consists of the following:

1, the use of national tax incentives for reasonable arrangements to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance;

2, the use of selective accounting methods,

3, from which the most advantageous method of tax payment in order to achieve the purpose of avoiding taxes;

4, the use of tax laws and regulations, policies, and the existence of defects, loopholes, deficiencies, and the use of tax policy. The existence of defects, loopholes, deficiencies in tax regulations and policies,

5, to achieve the purpose of reducing the tax burden for a certain period of time.

See, successful tax planning program is "the result of the battle of wits", so accounting staff must have a high level of tax policy, with the ability to

Tax policy deep processing, in order to ensure the legitimacy of the tax planning program.

Good business level is another basic requirement for the success of tax planning. Good business level needs to have solid theoretical knowledge and rich practical experience

Practical experience to support. Solid theoretical knowledge requires practitioners to be proficient in law, tax policy and accounting, but also in business, finance, insurance, trade and other aspects of knowledge; rich practical experience requires practitioners to be able to grasp the basic situation of the customer in a very short period of time, tax-related matters, such as tax links, planning intentions, etc., in order to obtain a true, reliable, and complete planning information on the basis of the selection of planning entry points, and develop the correct planning steps to address the needs of the customer. Based on the real, reliable and complete planning information, we can choose the right entry point for planning, make the right planning steps, and design effective operation programs for different objective situations.

Accounting personnel should continuously improve their policy level and business level in the process of practice, so that China's tax planning from the shallow level to the deep level, from the primary stage to the advanced stage.

Legality is a prerequisite for tax planning. However, in the accounting process will inevitably encounter: some company bosses of certain tax-related matters, tax-related links can not distinguish between legal and illegal boundaries, often put forward a number of requirements affecting the legitimacy of tax avoidance planning; some company bosses hope to deviate from the purpose of the tax legislation of the tax avoidance through the legalization of the planning program; and some company bosses require the violation of tax policies and regulations into the planning program. In the face of the above situations, the accounting personnel must maintain the authority of the tax law with a clear attitude, and must not give up the principle and accommodate the company for the sake of the company's interests and to keep their jobs, not to mention that they must not be driven by certain interests and succumb to the pressure of the company's bosses. Adhere to the principle of legality, good professional ethics throughout the whole process of tax avoidance planning. As long as there is tax, the existence of tax avoidance is unavoidable, which is not a phenomenon only in one country, but often with an international nature. However, as a taxpayer to carry out tax avoidance activities, must not violate the tax law as a prerequisite, and must not turn tax avoidance into tax evasion or tax evasion. Only by avoiding this situation can we realize the success of reasonable tax avoidance and legal tax payment.
