This document provides an overview of 10 key tax strategies for real estate investors:
1. Failing to properly plan taxes can be costly. Proper planning through deductions, credits, and income shifting can save significant taxes.
2. Business owners should avoid "audit paranoia" and carefully document expenses.
3. Missing depreciation deductions is a common mistake, especially for improvements, components, and personal property.
4. Distinguishing between repairs and improvements is important for deducting costs.
5. Investors enjoy tax benefits like depreciation, while dealers face self-employment taxes and ordinary income.
6. Employing family members can generate tax savings through deductions and reduced payroll taxes.
Because of the multi-dimensional tax environment that now exists post-American Taxpayer Relief Act, CPA financial planners must look at the tax impact on clients’ financial plans through a 5 to 10 year horizon. Ordinary income tax rates from the Bush Administration were made permanent. The capital gains rate increased from 15% to 20% for taxpayers with income greater than the threshold amounts. Phase-out of personal exemptions and limitations on itemized deductions (Pease) become critical in managing tax brackets by shifting income and deductions into certain years. Visit the AICPA PFP Section’s Post ATRA & NIIT Toolkit for more in-depth resources on planning in preparation for year-end.
Last year, the government proposed a series of wide ranging reforms to Australia’s superannuation system, representing the most significant changes to super in a decade. Although not all the proposals have been legislated, some significant ones have already.
We recognise that keeping up with the superannuation rules and regulations can be a minefield. It’s important to understand the changes and how they may affect your financial strategy. That’s where Bentleys and the Superannuation team can support you.

A Charitable Remainder Trust is a split interest trust consisting of an income interest, which is paid to the donor or other beneficiary during the term of the trust, and a remainder interest, which is paid to the designated charity. The purpose of this strategy is to harbor net investment income in a tax-exempt environment while leveling income over a longer period of time to keep MAGI below the threshold amount. CRTs are especially useful when there is a large capital gain that pushes income above the threshold amount.
With the elimination of the personal exemption in 2018, some large families could experience increased state-level taxes. In states where families trend to larger sizes, such as Utah, the State Tax Commission anticipates tens-of-millions in surplus revenues as a result of the personal exemption elimination.
A simple breakdown of what Arbitrage is and why tax-exempt organizations need to be in compliance in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The purpose of Roth IRA conversions as it relates to NIIT is to lower modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) below the threshold amount over the long-term. Some benefits of Roth conversions include lower overall taxable income, tax-free compounding, no required minimum distributions at age 70 ½, tax-free withdrawals for beneficiaries, and more effective funding of the “bypass trust”. Converting to a Roth IRA creates opportunities to reduce the overall size of the estate and to take advantage of greater tax-free yields and favorable tax attributes. Bob Keebler walks you through the mathematics of conversion through examples, tactical considerations, and a four-step process for Roth conversion planning.

In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
