Tax planning consists of the strategic use of accounting. In this sense, one of the most important roles played by consultancies stands out, which are dedicated to the careful and responsible assessment of all the points that involve your company, such as expenses, costs and taxes. In this way, every movement of the company's values is analyzed in detail and, based on the data collected, graphs are prepared that will represent, in a clear and didactic way, the current situation in which the company finds itself. In other words, based on this research, it will be possible to measure how much is spent, what are the types of costs, how to reduce them and in what way. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that the analyses be carried out in an organized and successive manner, so that the desired result is achieved in an efficient, fast and safe manner.
The surveys are carried out in stages: 1) diagnosis of the value chain; 2) strategic planning; 3) review of processes; 4) sales and operations planning; 5) strategic sourcing; 6) shared services center; 7) zero-based budgeting; and 8) indicator management.
The stages of tax planning And how does each stage of tax planning work? Below, we offer a synthetic explanation of each of these phases:
Value chain diagnosis : at this first moment, a group of experienced consultants will come to the company. On an ongoing basis, a series of activities will be carried out in order to analyze the company's performance, in a short period of time, and, with this, the current situation in which the company finds itself will be radiographed.Strategic planning : it is one of the most important factors for a company's success. At this stage, we calculate the risks and establish goals to be achieved and the objectives to be achieved. The focus is not only on the pursuit of these objectives, but especially on the formulation of a planning structure to achieve the goals and objectives, that is, to put into practice the actions that will generate positive results. In this context, it is essential to be prepared for possible difficult moments in the market, such as changes in customer profile, product demand, and other obstacles. However, all risks must be calculated with the greatest possible investment security.Process review : a periodic review is carried out to ascertain the real structural arrangement of the company and, if necessary, adaptations to the adopted market model will be suggested.Sales and operations planning : like the previous steps, planning must also be applied to the sales area, which will allow the identification of new opportunities and correction of deficiencies.Strategic Sourcing : the cost of a company directly interferes with the development of all its areas. When a cost is reduced in an area, the company as a whole wins. This qualitative analysis, therefore, is carried out precisely at this stage. Thus, research is carried out in various sectors, such as negotiation, import, shipping, storage of materials, qualities and third-party services, in order to identify the types of costs, as well as measure them.Shared Services Center : the search for outsourced services is undoubtedly one of the best practices for reducing costs. It provides benefits to the company quality control and greater expansion of other operational activities.Zero-based budget : the researches are carried out in order to display and quantify all costs, which will allow the identification of niches subject to change and those that are already stable.Management by indicators : the indicators will reveal what must be done to promote the company's best performance. The implementation of the actions and suggestions offered by the consultancies will allow the company to maximize its results and the expected gain in efficiency.Taxation is an important element when reviewing a company's expenses. Taxes are present in most of the business routine. They are charged when buying from suppliers, when selling to customers, and also in many other cases. However, a question must always be in the minds of businessmen and financial professionals: are we paying taxes in the most beneficial way for the company? This thought is valuable because changes in legislation and governments can alter previous scenarios, modifying the form of taxation. Monitoring these changes is not something simple and routine, and it is common for questions to arise on the subject.
Understanding more about tax review Considering the information above, it's easy to understand what tax advice offers for your company and why tax review is important. It serves to re-evaluate all calculations and procedures involving taxes. This action is a great way for large, medium, or small businesses to protect themselves against tax risks.
The tax review will correct errors and adapt the company to the best possible form of taxation, always being within all legal and legal aspects.
When should you hire a tax review service? It is always important to remember that the team that performs the activities related to the calculation of taxes in the company does so in a routine manner and, most of the time, does not carry out this activity alone. The fact that the activity becomes a routine brings with it the risk of accommodation in relation to changes in the legislation, running the risk of not noticing the changes that would affect the company's taxation.
It is recommended that companies, even if they have a specialized team, carry out the annual review of their taxes by an outsourced team that carries out the review with a totally new and distant view of any defects generated by routine.
In addition to these risks, sometimes, the financial team needs help reviewing taxes and/or resolving doubts regarding ongoing procedures. In these moments, having a specialized audit can be the difference between rapid effectiveness and hours spent unsuccessfully.
Tax review through tax advice plays a fundamental role for companies and organizations, providing efficient management and tax compliance. This practice involves a detailed analysis of the tax procedures adopted by the company, identifying possible savings opportunities, mitigating risks, and correcting possible errors.
The importance of this process can be highlighted in several aspects:
Cost Reduction: The tax review seeks to identify legal opportunities to reduce the tax burden, optimizing the company's financial resources. By analyzing the tax framework, tax credits, and other tax benefits, the consultancy can identify areas where it is possible to save in a legal and ethical manner. Risk Management: The tax environment is complex and constantly changing. Tax advice helps companies to keep up to date with changes in tax laws, avoiding risks of non-compliance and sanctions. In addition, the identification of possible inconsistencies in tax processes prevents possible assessments by supervisory bodies. Operational Efficiency: Tax review also contributes to the improvement of internal processes related to the tax area. Identifying and correcting errors in tax records and tax calculations allows the company to operate more efficiently, avoiding rework and eliminating possible sources of error. Tax Planning: Tax consultancy assists in the preparation of strategic tax planning. This involves analyzing different scenarios and choosing the most advantageous options for the company in terms of tax burden, considering the particularities of the business and changes in legislation. Competitiveness: Companies that manage their taxes efficiently gain competitiveness in the market. The cost reduction provided by tax advice can be directed to investments in innovation, expansion, or improvements in products and services, which contribute to the company's competitive position. Legal Compliance: Compliance with tax obligations reinforces the company's image before its stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, and investors. In addition, complying with tax laws contributes to building a solid reputation and prevents damage to the company's image resulting from legal problems. Tax review through tax advice is a strategic practice that goes beyond simple compliance with tax regulations. It is configured as a valuable tool for financial management, the reduction of costs, the minimization of risks and the promotion of competitiveness, ensuring that the company operates efficiently and in compliance with current legislation.
