There are a few tax-reduction tricks that you can use without raising any suspicion from the government.  Firstly, take advantage of all legal deductions and credits. Secondly, maintain detailed and accurate financial records in order to support any claims regarding deductions or credits. Thirdly, time the timing of your business income so as to minimize the amount of taxes owed in a given year. Finally, make sure that all your tax filings are filled accurately and honestly - do not try to cheat or lie as this will certainly draw attention from the authorities and likely lead to prosecution. Being careful, clever and truthful is key for successfully avoiding paying high taxes without raising any suspicion fromthe government.]

To reduce tax liability without raising suspicion from the government, try to take advantage of all available deductions and credits. Look for ways to defer income or accelerate expenses by shifting purchases or services into the next tax year. Consider using accounting tricks such as “grossing up” receipts so that more money ends up in your pocket but is reported as less profit on paper. Seek out creative methods of bartering, or look into ways to convert overhead costs like shipping fees and Internet bills into deductible expenses. Finally, plan strategically for growth-focused investments and track those investments along with their associated tax benefits, so you have records to present at tax time if audited.
