We at Vantage Capital Alliance have found that taxes are the Great Wealth Destroyer because they suck the life out of your finances even before you get started paying bills.  So, what’s left over is far less than what you could have had if there were no taxes or the taxes were reduced.

Conclusion: Starting a business or getting into business for yourself not only gets you mileage deductions but 440 other possible deductions for small business that will help you keep your hard earned money instead of paying excessive amounts to taxes that you don’t really have to pay.   It’s a way of saving money that most people don’t think about.  These deductions are all legal, ethical and moral… hey, they are deductions the IRS thought up and provided and most people don’t use them… probably because they don’t know about them.  So, they are spending more than they need to in taxes alone. (Be sure to consult your tax man for how to utilize the deductions and plan ahead.)
