An investment tax strategy is not just about writing the government a cheque; it can be a deeply involved process that takes into account many different variables.
This careful work can dramatically lower the taxes you owe. Every investment option has a tax implication, and understanding the tradeoffs between each choice is critical to maximizing your returns.
