An excerpt from a conversation with a client:
\u2013 Hi Egl\u0117, listen, your accountant is telling me I have to pay tax on this benefit in kind.
\u2013 So? \u2013 I ask.
\u2013 Well, you know, I talked to my friends and none of them pay it.
\u2013 Then let them not pay. That’ll be their problem, not yours.
\u2013 And what happens if I don’t pay?
\u2013 Maybe nothing. Or maybe they’ll audit you in three years and you’ll have to pay for all three years plus late-payment interest on top…
\u2013 But it’s just one car. Do they really care about one car?
\u2013 Well, what’s the car worth?
\u2013 EUR 80,000.
\u2013 Then tell me: why does a dental practice need a car worth EUR 80,000? If it’s only used for business purposes \u2013 to transport dental drills or fillings \u2013 such an expensive car is certainly not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pause and silence on the line\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 OK, tell her to calculate the benefit in kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t calculating the taxes, but explaining why they’re worth paying. \ud83d\udcac<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just because your friends don’t pay doesn’t mean it’s the right decision for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all want to pay as little tax as possible, and that’s normal. What matters is looking for legal ways to optimise and not overpaying where savings are possible. \ud83d\udca1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But decisions shouldn’t be based solely on the fact that “others do it this way”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes a few euros today mean much greater peace of mind tomorrow. \u2705<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":114359,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"class_list":["post-114390","vadovo-mintys","type-vadovo-mintys","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","description-off"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
