It is not advisable to hide assets with the intention of avoiding taxes as this may be considered financial fraud. There are legal strategies that can be used to minimize your tax liability, such as investing in tax-advantaged retirement accounts, taking advantage of available deductions and credits, and properly structuring business transactions. It's best to consult a certified public accountant or tax attorney about strategies that may work for your situation.

There are a few legal ways to minimize paying taxes on your business income. Creating an S-corp or C-corp is one of the most popular options for reducing your tax liability, as this allows you to pay yourself a salary which can be much lower than what you made originally, resulting in reduced overall tax burden. Investing in depreciable assets such as machinery and equipment may also reduce your tax liability, especially if those investments allow you to write off a portion of your yearly income. Utilizing business losses could also be beneficial since they can reduce or eliminate any profits you’ve made from previous years in order to further reduce your total tax payments.
