Each country has different tax rules, in my country small businesses that have a turnover of under 500,000,000 IDR ($31,695) a year (fiscal year) are not subject to income tax, but if a small business has a turnover of 700,000,000 IDR then the income tax calculation is 700 million-500 million = 200 million IDR multiplied by a tax rate of 0.5% = 1 million IDR or US$63

For small entrepreneurs who have a turnover of under IDR 500 million, even though they are not subject to income tax, they must make a tax report accompanied by a financial statement.

Usually, a small business owner may not need to pay a huge amount of taxes when it comes to business. This is because when you run a small business, you may not be obliged to pay taxes as you sell products that may not be that expensive after all. There are many ways a small business owner could possibly save money when it comes to taxes.

Engage in charity campaigns

This is one of the best ways a small business owner could save taxes. A small business owner could engage in charity campaigns and they may become exempted from paying taxes. This tip is also followed by many big business organisation. In many countries, when a business helps poor people, the government waves away taxes from them.

Make sure that you pay taxes at the right time

There are many people who always try to delay their tax payments. This could lead you to get fines. hence this increases tax money and charges. You can void this by paying your taxes at the right time to avoid getting fined.

Talk to your lawyer

Tax rules and regulations could get changed by the passage of time. If you want to get tax relief, then you must talk to your business lawyer, as they can help you get maximum relief in a legal manner.

Engaging in charity campaigns can indeed be a beneficial strategy for small business owners to save on taxes. By actively participating in charitable activities and supporting causes that help those in need, businesses can not only make a positive impact on society but also potentially receive tax exemptions or deductions. It is worth noting that many governments recognise the importance of corporate social responsibility and incentivise businesses to contribute towards social welfare.
