If you have a small business, then you are probably looking to save money and increase profits. Small business tax deductions will help you accomplish this goal. There are many possible deductions, and new ones are introduced almost every year.

The annual net profit is determined by the difference between your revenue and expenditures. You can lower your taxable income by maximizing your business expenses. As a small business owner, you can combine your personal and business expenses to reduce your taxable income. Plan a business trip and combine it with a personal vacation, buy a car and use it for personal and official use, or maybe enroll in a retirement plan.

In any case, it is important that you exercise caution to avoid problems with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS can easily determine what qualifies as a deductible expenditure. If they suspect that you are crossing the line, they will audit and possibly press charges against you. Section 162 of the tax code states that business expenditures should be “ordinary and necessary.” Although the terms ordinary and necessary are vague, they should be interpreted to explain what is essential to a business.

Whether you are planning to start a new project, sell your company, or are looking for financing options, you should prepare a business plan. You can write the plan yourself, use software with basic templates, or hire a company. Business plans can be drafted to seek investors, to hire employees, or to create a marketing strategy.

You have to follow certain guidelines when you write a business plan. Topics covered should include your company’s goals, products, services, and client base. You should provide a description your company, target market, and information regarding how you will reach customers. The business plan should be attention grabbing, precise, and positive.

A business plan should include a cover page that includes your company’s name, logo, address, phone number, website, and e-mail. A statement of purpose and table of contents should follow the cover page. The plan should then include an executive summary that explains a company’s rationale in addition to facts and figures. Other sections should include business descriptions, products/services, targeted market, marketing strategies, development, management, finances, plan, and indexes.

In the heading where you describe your company, you can talk about what exactly your company deals with, competitors, personnel, operating procedures, and insurance. In the finances section, you should attach loan applications, balance sheets, cash flow analysis statements, profit and loss statements, and accounting protocols. Business plans should include supplemental documents including tax returns, bank statements, and copies of license, lease deeds, and other legal documents.

Many feel that buying a business is less risky than starting a business from scratch. What about buying a business with debt? Buying a business is only less risky because the customer base and brand name of the business has already been established. If chosen carefully, buying a business with current debt can lead to high profits.

To escape the debt trap of the global bankers, the power to create the national money supply needs to be restored to national governments. Alternatives include:

Legal tender issued directly by national treasuries and spent on national budgets.

• Publicly-owned central banks empowered to advance the nation’s credit and lend it to the government interest-free.
• Nationalization of bankrupt banks considered “too big to fail” (after expunging or writing down bad debts on inflated bubble assets).  These banks could then issue credit to the public and serve the public’s banking needs, with the profits recycling back to the government, defraying the tax burden on the people.
• Publicly-owned local banks (state, provincial, or municipal).

Publicly-owned banks have been successfully established and operated in many countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, India, China, Japan, Korea, and Malaysia.

In the United States there is currently only one state-owned bank, the Bank of North Dakota. The model, however, has proven to be highly successful. North Dakota is the only U.S. state to have escaped the credit crisis unscathed. In 2009, while other states floundered, North Dakota had its largest budget surplus ever. In 2008, the Bank of North Dakota (BND) had a return on equity of 25%. North Dakota has the lowest unemployment rate in the country and the lowest default rate on loans. It also has the most local banks per capita.

North Dakota has had its own bank since 1919, when farmers were losing their farms to the Wall Street bankers. They organized, won an election, and passed legislation. The state is required by law to deposit all its revenues in the BND. Like with the sustainable model of the bank of colonial Pennsylvania, interest and profits are returned to the government and to the local economy.

A growing movement is afoot in the United States to copy this public banking model in other states. Fourteen U.S. state legislatures have now initiated bills for state-owned banks. The model could also be replicated in other countries. In Ireland, for example, where the major banks are insolvent and are already nationalized or soon will be, the government could deposit its revenues in its own publicly-owned banks, add sufficient capital to meet capital requirements, and leverage these funds to create interest-free credit for its own local needs. That is exactly what Alexander Hamilton did when faced with government debts that were impossible to repay: he put the government’s existing funds in a bank, then borrowed the money back several times over, employing the accepted “fractional reserve” model.

Japan’s solution is also a variant of what Alexander Hamilton proposed two centuries earlier. Japan retains its status as the third largest economy in the world although it has a debt to GDP ratio of 226%. Japan has “monetized” the national debt, turning it into the national money supply. The government-owned Bank of Japan holds Japanese government debt equal to 100% of the nation’s GDP; and because the government owns the bank, this loan is interest-free and can be rolled over indefinitely. An interest-free loan rolled over indefinitely is the equivalent of issuing money.
