Tax deadline

Tax need not be a stress

Welcome to Tax season 2012! With a new season of tax, comes a new set of tax deadlines…and I have yet to find a person that likes tax deadlines. The word “tax” has the ability to turn most people a pale shade of white. Mix this with “deadline” and you have a failsafe recipe to make even a Friday seem like a Monday.

While tax is a fundamental part of running our country, it still feels like your hard earned money is being flushed away. And for the self employed and business owners, the worst part about a tax deadline is that it acts merely as a reminder that your precious time with your extra money is dwindling. To make matters worse, you know what stands between you and the tax payment. It is a towering pile of confusing paperwork. This leads to avoidance which results in late submissions and then unwanted penalties. All equating to a lot of extra stress you really don’t need.

The reality is, it never has to be this bad. While accountants aren’t magicians, we can definitely take the sting out of tax deadlines and make the process fairly stress free.
